Somethings not right here...,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mammals of Washington and Oregon (Paperback)
The comment, when this book was read by my deer hunting Husband, was that the author must not be from Oregon. The range for the Mule deer was for the whole state of Oregon, and its really only from the East Side of the Cascade range and East. The Blacktail deer, which is not mentioned in the book at all, range from the West side of the Cascades to the West. The range of the Whitetail Deer is not the length of the Cascades, as in the book, but in small portions of Southern, Northeastern and the Roseburg Area. If all this is wrong, what else is inaccurate?
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Mammals of Washington and Oregon (Paperback)
This is a good reference book with good photos of mammals. I minored in Mammalogy at the University of Arizona back in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The information is adequate for a basic "what's that?" question in Oregon, where I recently relocated from Arizona. I'm not familiar with nutria or possums or a number of other mammals in the Northwest and needed a book to refer to. This one's a good one.
