Book Description

October 1, 2000
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Whitetail FAQ, December 17, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Deer Hunter's Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
I found the photographs more interesting than the text. This book is a compilation of questions received by Rue, consequently what information the book has is presented in a disjointed manner. None of the answers are in depth. The title is a misnomer.

I gave the book 3 stars because, although it may be 5 star for the beginning deer hunter, it does not have much to offer one with a few year's experience. In truth, however, it did answer a few questions for me.

3.0 out of 5 stars misleading, February 24, 2009
Lots of useless, redundant, common sense information. This is a compilation of letters the author has recieved and responded to. Its more of a "what is the difference between antlers and horns?" May be a good read for kids getting into hunting. If you have spent time in the woods chasing whitetails, (not from a vehicle) you know all this book has to offer.
