As I get older I've come to resent anything that is a waste of time. This book falls in that category. It was poorly written, uninformed, unbelievable and generally dull. The high point of the book was in the first few pages when a 600-plus pound deer is found dead up in a tree. As a devoted white-tailed deer watcher I can only imagine what a magnificent specimen this was. Truly a North American record-sized animal. Unfortunately the author would have us believe that 600 pounds is the average size of a full-grown deer. It went downhill from there.
