Synopsis
This text explains how methods and equipment used in Scottish deer stalking and control have fundamentally altered over the last 50 years. It examines the changes that have taken place in firearms, communication in the field and mechanical transport. The book also contains past and present records of heads and weights, numbers culled and antler measurements, for comparison. Other records include deer population, feral deer, seasonal weather, carcass weights, feeding and disease. The author won the Laurent Perrier Conservation Award for his "Whitehead Encyclopedia of Deer".
