Al Cambronne's Deerland is the best book ever about the state of the whitetail deer, its numbers, problems, fans both hunting and non, maniacal fans, and detractors. I liked the earlier books on the whitetail- human edge by Jan Dizard and Richard Nelson, but if you don't collect deer books and want to read one, get this. Cambronne is an "adult beginner" deer hunter and never loses his sense of amazement at the whole spectacle, and tells a good tale. And check out his blog here.
