For over thirty years, Leonard Lee Rue's THE DEER OF NORTH AMERICA has been the definitive book on the life and habits of the four deer species of North America-mule, whitetail, blacktail, and Sitka.
Leonard Lee Rue III, one of America's most respected naturalists and wildlife photographers, has written a comprehensive, fully illustrated book that covers every important facet in the lives of deer, from anatomy to feeding habits, distribution to management controversies. With over three hundred black-and-white photographs and sixteen pages of color plates, THE DEER OF NORTH AMERICA is a book no one with an interest in deer can afford to be without.
DR. LEONARD LEE RUE III is the author of twenty-five books on wildlife, and his photographs have appeared in countless magazines, from Field & Stream to Newsweek. He lives in Blairstown, New Jersey.
