Whitetail hunters have been waiting for a masterfully crafted book that provides new insight into understanding the rut: the seeking, chasing, and breeding, beyond the rehashed information any serious deer hunter already knows-or should know. Charles J. Alsheimer, keen observer and biological pioneer, develops this logical follow-up to Whitetail: Behavior through the Seasons. Whitetail Rites of Autumn focuses on the one season of most interest to hunters and a period of intense importance for the white-tailed deer.

This magnificent all-color volume is both entertaining and educational, displaying an intensified, well-edited file of deer images, while offering considerable insight into America's favorite big-game species, including chapters on fawns at birth, the time before the rut, and dominant behavior of the male whitetail deer. The exquisite photography and the interesting yet innovative editorial commentary are sure to appeal to deer hunters, white-tailed deer lovers, and nature enthusiasts alike.
