By James R. Harris
Many hunters and wildlife photographers consider the Black-tailed Deer the most elusive and alert American Deer species. Their amazing speed and blistering quickness make it very difficult for humans to get close – whether hunting or for that rare close-up shot.
In his passionate quest to photographically capture the wily deer in their natural, unguarded behavior, James R. Harris demonstrates a sniper’s skills in patience, stillness, quickness and accuracy as he presents this breathtakingly rare peek into the deer’s secret life at its unbridled best.
The Black-tailed Deer of the Great Northwest collection portrays the black-tail at their various stages of life, from fragile white-spotted fawns, to protective mothers bonding with their fawns, to bucks chasing does in rutting season. Under Harris’ watchful, unseen lens, the deer are exposed in spontaneity – while in hot pursuit of a female, in full alert for predators or in deep cover.

By Steve Tetreault
The mother moose was standing by her three-week old calf. She gave me a cold hard stare and then laid her ears back. I could actually see the hair rise up on the back of her neck just before she put her head down and charged. Barely into my second month as a Baxter State Park ranger and a big animal was angry and running straight at me. She could kill me or cause serious injury with one flail of her hooves. This was surreal. I was a ranger, for Pete’s sake. How was I going to explain this in my weekly report? The Bear Dogs of Katahdin is Steve Tetreault´s true account of his time spent as a ranger in Maine´s Baxter State Park, a wilderness area of over 204,000 acres. In this collection of anecdotal stories, Steve describes his life as a new ranger in a strange place, meeting new people--and learning about his wild neighbors. If you are a lover of the outdoors in general, or perhaps Maine and Baxter State Park in particular, you will appreciate Steve´s depiction of a park ranger´s life from the point of view of a young and idealistic person.

By Chauncey Weitz
A book about yesterday´s life in Wisconsin by an outstanding Conservation Warden. Everyone who loves the outdoors -- and the people who roam there -- will love these tales.Chauncey Weitz was a hunter, guide, commercial fisherman, commercial clammer, and foreman of a railroad gang during tough Prohibition years. He got his “degree in psychology” from the hobos he worked with. In 1932 he started as a Wisconsin Conservation Warden at Eagle River. Until 1965 he worked a field warden, undercover investigator, troubleshooter and supervisor throughout the state. He was shot at, threatened, and hit. He faced howling windstorms and whitecaps rescuing stranded boaters. Once a violator he was arresting saved him when another wanted to axe him. Cash from his pocket bought groceries for violators who had no food for their families and sometimes he took violators from court to the relief office to get them help. His tools were a keen intelligence, an ability to “read” people and sense of justice. There were no radios, no backup, no help. The tools were white ash snowshoes, a Smith & Wesson 38 Special, and Winchester rifle. Every story is true; every place exists, every conversation happened. This is what it was like to be a Wisconsin Conservation Warden in the “old days.”

By Eva Claeson
For one year, I wrote down what I saw and experienced in the nature around my home in Stockholm. That is all: no more, no less. Instead of human beings, I tried this time to portray nature at my door. At first, it felt like moving from something invisible to something tangible. But soon I understood that also in nature most things are hidden and secret. Something happens constantly beneath that which seems to be. I am not a specialist. I had to manage with neither a microscope nor a butterfly net. I have kept to human measurements and senses. The trees are really there and the herons fly. Nothing has been made up. At least not by me. Margareta Ekström

By Bud Jones
Bud Jones has collected an amazing number of friends and acquaintances over a wondrous lifetime as a naturalist and teacher. Readers of this book Some Wild Animals I Have Known will meet a vast collection of creatures that skitter, creep, slither, dash, bound, and soar. The brief chapters are full of notes made from both research and personal experience. There is much to learn about the coloring, personalities, habitats, and life cycles of these dozens of insects, mammals, reptiles, and birds. Yet this is no garden variety nature guide, but rather an invitation to come out to the wild and share the world of nature. Filled with anecdotes and personal memories, Jones imparts a passion for living that is nearly endangered today. Wild Animals… - Holds particular interest to people in the Southeastern United States. Most of the chapters revolve around the Tallapoosa River environs in rural Georgia. It also relates to animals of the Western United States and elsewhere, giving the book a North America-wide scope. - It brims with a story-teller’s wit. Did you hear the one about the farmer who went out in his Long johns to shoot a fox in the henhouse? Bud knew him, and tells why the man ate nothing but fried chicken for a while. How about the story of the gospel singer, the man without a sense of smell, and the treed polecat? Unfortunately, Bud was caught in the spray of that yarn. - It is also unusual sampling of all forms of outdoor life, and explains why men and women thrill to the call of the wild and leave behind, for at least a day, the world of fast food and computers.
