The Deer Hunter's Encyclopedia

Here is a complete reference book on America’s most popular big-game animal by one of the foremost expert's on deer and hunting.

Written by one of North America’s most famous wildlife photographers and deer-hunting experts, THE DEER HUNTER’S ENCYCLOPEDIA is a compilation of years of columns, magazine articles, and tidbits of knowledge, touching on every facet of deer and deer hunting. Presented in a question-and-answer format, the ENCYCLOPEDIA answers any type of question that the reader might have. Among the topics are hunting (tips, tactics, and how deer behave during hunting seasons), antlers (their development and significance, both to deer and to hunters), deer behavior, deer anatomy, fawns, deer management, and breeding and the rut.

Liberally illustrated with hundreds of Dr. Rue’s photos, the ENCYCLOPEDIA gives the reader all the information needed to not only hunt deer successfully, but also to study, understand, and appreciate these animals throughout the course of the year.

Nationally recognized for his photographs not only of deer, but of wildlife in general, DR. LEONARD LEE RUE III has authored numerous books on photography and on deer, including The Deer of North America.
