observing & evaluating whitetails
​

For years, informed hunters and wildlife managers have known that one of the best methods for improving your deer herd is to manage by age.  Observing & Evaluating Whitetails, a book by Dave Richards and Al Brothers, can help you do that.  

Acclaimed wildlife photographer, Richards, and renowned deer biologist and creator of quality deer management concepts, Brothers, blended their skills to produce an amazing book showcasing some of the most impressive whitetail photography ever assembled.  The book's beauty is only over- shadowed by its usefulness.  With more than 400 stunning photos the book craftily teaches how to age not only by physical characteristics but also by behavior.   The authors support their conclusions with photos chronicling the lives of dozens of known-age bucks that Richards has followed and photographed for years. 

Special sections by noted whitetail authorities Dr. Larry Marchinton and Brian Murphy instruct readers on aging after harvest, diseases, whitetail communication, and sensory capabilities, making this book a must-have.  
Observing & Evaluating Whitetails is offered in hard bound version for $39.99 and a leather bound signed limited edition is available for $199.99.  Aging Whitetail Bucks on the Hoof pocket guide  is an excerpt from Observing & Evaluating Whitetails and is available for $4.99.   Click link on the left to order books directly from Quality Deer Management Association.

O Lord, how many are Thy works! In wisdom Thou hast made them all; The earth is full of Thy possessions



















John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.  For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him.
