Deer Companions

Deer Companions includes several years of observations and experiences at a deer farm. The reader will be introduced to a herd of several dozen white-tailed deer, become closely acquainted with several (and their human caretakers), and even see a little of what used to be called natural history. The nearest likeness to the authors experience is the proverbial traveler to a distant land who becomes adopted into an exotic tribe. We will see the herds social structure, as it were, from the inside, and acquire a jealous, but very devoted, sweetheart. (Thats her on the cover.) The author has seen this happen to several other people but, after extensive research, can find no published mention of it. The picture doesnt do it justice; no one else can see the look in Sugars eyes when she does that.There is also an extensive appendix describing habitat and herd manipulations in all fifty states of the Union to enhance sporting opportunitiesmultiply deer populations for hunters benefit. This puts away any claim that hunting is about population control.
