Deer World

A year in the life of North America's most beautiful and popular game species.

This exciting book by renowned wildlife photographer Dave Taylor features 375 images of North American deer species in their natural habitat. Included are the two deer species indigenous to North America -- the whitetail and the mule deer -- as well as blacktail deer, elk, caribou and moose. These majestic animals are photographed at all stages of development, in all seasons, in locations across the continent.

Deer World explores a year in the life of deer, providing naturalists and wildlife enthusiasts a rare inside look at how seasonal events affect each species. The remarkable photographs are arranged by day and month, juxtaposed with informative captions that offer notes on the animal, its behaviour, the role it plays within its local ecosystem, and where and when it can best be viewed.

As a bonus, Taylor includes photographs of other animals found in the deer's world, such as wolves and bears.

Updated in 2025 with new images and captions, this timeless book continues to thrill millions of deer enthusiasts.
