Prothero killed his first trophy mule deer as a kid 35 years ago. Since then, he's collected 70 mature bucks in seven states, two Canadian provinces, and Mexico. Prothero is not only a hunter but also a biologist who has worked for, among others, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. So it comes as no surprise that he has combined his expertise in hunting big game with biology, game management, and writing to produce the most comprehensive and exciting book yet written on the mule deer. Many consider the mule deer to be "the toughest trophy animal on the continent to collect fairly." Track with Prothero and a Shuswap mystic through the forests of British Columbia. Pack on burros into the remote Sierra Madre—a wilderness so virgin that the bucks and bears stand and stare. Stalk Utah's mule deer canyons with Prothero when he vows to shoot nothing smaller than a 30-incher. Track bucks to their bed and collect them with a single shot at five yards. Learn about home range, "center areas," and food preferences. Get the inside story on where to find bucks on public lands, and why "where" is just as important as "how." The book is a unique collection of mule-deer biology, management, hunting "how-tos," and hunting adventure stories on North America's top trophy.
