Gift Of The Deer
by: Hover, Helen
One Christmas Eve an emaciated deer stumbled across the yard of Helen
Hoover's remote cabin in northern Minnesota. Barely surviving the brutal
winter, gaunt from starvation, blind in one eye from a hunting wound,
he became the central character in Hoover's popular book The Gift of the
Deer. Hoover and her husband Adrian named this deer Peter, nursed him
back to health, and observed Peter and his growing clan for four years.

Majesty: Visions From The Heart Of Elk Country
by: Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation
Brilliant color photography celebrates the majesty of elk in all seasons
and in all habitats. Majesty. Too grand a word? Hardly. The challenge
rises in trying to describe a great wild ruggedness with a language born
on a small island of green hills. Or, on a deeper level, trying to reduce
the imperfect harmony of a roaring flute-an 800-pound, urine soaked, mud-slathered,
wild-eyed flute-to a few flat syllables. Plenty of folks have tried. And
a few, in sublime moments, have crossed over, the pages of their books
suddenly smelling like pine duff and elk musk. Those sublime moments are
gathered together here-the words of dozens of people who have loved elk
and elk country over the past century. And these passages are coupled
with a language of greater clarity-photographs that need no words, images
that ring with something very much like the sound of a faint bugle drifting
down out of the fog. Listen well as you turn these pages. There is majesty
here. 120 pgs.

Natural History Of Deer
by: Putman, Rory
In this richly informative and engagingly written book, Rory Putnam captures
the astonishing diversity - in habitat, diet, social organization, and
behavior - of the world's 40 species of deer, and tells what is known
about their biology and natural history. He compares and contrasts the
characteristics of the various species and accounts for their similiarities
and differences in reference to the environments they have come to colonize.
He describes the species of modern deer and their evolutionary relationships,
and considers aspects of their physiology, ecology, and behavior, drawing
particular attention to the ecology of habitat use, diet and digestive
physiology, and social organization and behavior. He covers the life histories
of the different species, population dynamics, and the interactions of
deer with other animals. Devoting a whole chapter to an essay on antlers,
he ends with an enlightening and entertaining analysis of the relations
between deer and humans. Color & B/W photos, line drawings & figures.

Pleasure of Their Company: A Memoir: Adventures in Hand-Raising Orphan
Fawns
by: Hubbrad, Cynthia
Relates the story of the author’s nearly twenty-year journey hand-raising
orphan fawns in her barn in the hills of West Virginia, and the unique
relationships and bonds that developed with these gentlest of creatures.
Who could imagine lying down in a barn stall with a week-old, five-pound
fawn curled up alongside; or being invited to play by a fawn, and by that
same fawn after release and when grown into a 100-pound buck; or sedating
that 100-pound buck, playing Operating Room Nurse while the Veterinarian
neutered him, and then Recovery Room Nurse to monitor him as he came out
of the anesthetic; or having a fawn grow up and bring her own fawns around
to introduce them; or patrolling the woods on horseback during hunting
season to protect released fawns? The author couldn’t have imagined
any of this, but was blessed to know such treasured experiences. The readers
will get to experience all of these as well, and more, as they journey
along on the adventures, through the chronicles of each fawn’s history
and photographs taken during each hand-raising and after release. 250

Whitetails: Behavior - Ecology - Conservation
by: Bauer, Erwin
Rather than thinking of deer as "sweet, little brown-eyed animals,"
people should know these creatures are tough, resilient "super survivors,"
says Erwin Bauer. Surviving increased hunting and environmental pressure,
whitetail deer thrive throughout the U.S. and inhabit all but about four
states. Unlike most books that depict deer in one area, Whitetails show
the deer in a vast range of environments, from swamp and semi-desert to
ranch, farm, and woodlands. Covers: Evolution, life history, antlers,
related wildlife, & other deer. Accompanied by stunning photography.
