Customer Reviews

A science and natural history coverage which not only hunters but classroom students will appreciate

If the name of Dr. Leonard Rue II sounds familiar, it's because he's produced numerous books on wildlife and is one of the most published wildlife photographers in the country. His Way Of The Whitetail comes packed with his gorgeous full-page color photos and provides a science and natural history coverage which not only hunters but classroom students will appreciate. From surveys on how mild winters allow bucks to keep antlers longer to seasonal changes in the northern states and how they affect whitetails, Way Of The Whitetail is vivid, technical and highly recommended.
