For most of the last century, range management meant managing land for livestock. How well a landowner grew the grass that cattle ate was the best measure of success. In this century, landowners look to hunting and wildlife viewing for income; rangeland is now also wildlife habitat, and they are managing their land not just for cattle but also for wildlife, most notably deer and quail. Unlike other books on white-tailed deer in places where rainfall is relatively high and the environment stable, this book takes an ecological approach to deer management in the semiarid lands of Oklahoma, Texas, and northern Mexico. These are the least productive of white-tail habitats, where periodic drought punctuates long-term weather patterns. The book's focus on this landscape across political borders is one of its original and lasting contributions. Another is its contention that good management is based on ecological principles that guide the manager's thinking about: Habitat Requirements of White-Tailed Deer White-Tailed Deer Nutrition Carrying Capacity Habitat Manipulation Predators Hunting Timothy Edward Fulbright is a Regents Professor and the Meadows Professor in Semiarid Land Ecology at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute, Texas A&M University-Kingsville.

Review
“. . . fills a niche that is not currently approached in the literature, both for South Texas/northern Mexico and for the wildlife field in general. There is no other text that addresses the management of the white-tailed deer in a semi-arid environment.”--D. Lynn Drawe, Rob & Bessie Welder Wildlife Foundation

This review is from: White-Tailed Deer Habitat: Ecology and Management on Rangelands (Perspectives on South Texas) (Hardcover)
This is a great reference book for anyone interested in range management and wildlife. I would highly recommend this book. The co-authors of this book are very dedicated to the preservation of wildlife. I am proud to consider them both friends of mine. Thank you for the good work.
