The white-tailed deer population is now the highest it's been since the mid 1600s, making whitetails one of the greatest conservation success stories. However, this growth explosion has coincided with an increasing human population and the destruction of the deer's habitat. The result has been an effort to reduce the number of deer while juggling the needs and wants of landowners, the public at large, hunters, and the best interests of the deer themselves.

Fortunately, better management, coupled with our ever-increasing knowledge of the deer-thanks in part to noted experts such as Leonard Lee Rue III-should ensure the deer's future.

In "Leonard Lee Rue III's Way of the Whitetail" Rue leads readers through the whitetail's behavior, writing in his trademark "soft science" style with the authority of one who knows their every habit and haunt through personal research. The result is an easy read that's scientifically sound.

Readers follow the whitetail's behavior through the seasons-month by month. Rue also covers this animal's extraordinary sensory abilities and provides insight into the versatility and adaptability of this creature, which occupies a vast geographic range while other species struggle to merely exist among humans.

Also recommended: "Whitetails: Behavior, Ecology, Conservation," "Majestic Whitetails," and "Antlers."
