Editorial Reviews

Review
A wonderful and refreshing book by a genuine expert who also is a superior wildlife writer and photographer ... A true gem of a book, full of lively text and wondrous photographs. -- Dan Hays, Statemen Journal (Salem, MA), Nov 21, 1999

Author/photographer Raycroft provides beautiful photos of these lovely animals, accompanied by text that describes their evolution, the antler cycle, the rut, fawns, and the future of the species. There are many full-page, full-color close-ups of these deer engaged in feeding, mating, and fighting ... The final chapter, on the challenge of photographing the elusive whitetails, will be of interest to photographers. For all libraries. -- Paula Rohrlick, Kliatt, Jan 2000

With its detailed text, a pleasant blend of biological fact and personal observation, and stunning visuals, "White-Tailed Deer" is a visually stimulating and highly informative documentary of the life of the most recognizable of all North American animals -- Michael Runtz, Author & Host of "Wild by Nature" television series

[Raycroft's] years of dedication to learning about them has made him and expert witness who can write instructively and engagingly about deer habitat, physical make-up, diet, incredibly acute senses, behavior, communication, courtship and rearing of fawns, and protective measures like "yarding" in winter. -- Lee Pennock Huntington, Barre Times Argus [VT], Nov 28, 1999

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks for This Great Book!, June 5, 2000

By	Kim Carrillo (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

White-Tailed Deer is a highly-informative and wonderful book for everyone who is either familiar with or wants to learn about the white-tailed deer. I grew up in deer country many years ago and found that this book brought back many good memories and also refreshed my mind regarding this beautiful animal. I saw your book on display at the Book Expo America last weekend in Chicago. After spending some time going through it there, I knew with a certainty that I would order it as soon as I returned home....and that's what I did. Thank you for writing and publishing this great book.
