The Deer of North America

Nearly three hundred striking photographs capture all aspects of deer life, from birth to maturity, revealing how they communicate, how their senses interplay, and how they are affected by their environment

For over thirty years, Dr. Leonard Lee Rue III's The Deer of North America has been the definitive book on the life and habits of the four deer species of North America-mule, whitetail, blacktail, and Sitka.
Dr. Leonard Lee Rue III, one of America's most respected naturalists and wildlife photographers, has written a comprehensive, fully illustrated book that covers every important facet in the lives of deer, from anatomy and feeding habits to distribution and management controversies. With over three hundred black-and-white photographs and sixteen pages of color plates, The Deer of North America is a book that no one with an interest in deer can afford to be without.
