About this title

Synopsis

A comprehensive guide to the management of hoofed exotics, for ranchers (who may wish to conserve rare species, may wish to sell rights for their hunting, or both) and wildlife specialists. After summarizing the development of non-native hoofed animal life and breeding in Texas, all eight established exotic species are characterized and 25 other animals are given to illustrate both successes and failures. Then the variety of prevailing management techniques are discussed. Of special interest is a state-of-the-art carrying capacity evaluation method simple enough for repeated use. Includes 46 color plates and an extensive listing of publications on all topics covered. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
