"If you have ever wondered why deer are so fascinating, why people like to hunt them, protect them, why they raise so many passions, this book lays it out.  But then I'm a Richard Nelson fan (he was also at the fist Hunting Symposium).  He turned to hunting late in life after coming to understand its importance to the human spirit while, as an anthropologist, he lived with native people in the north.  Like Mitchell, Nelson challenges your position on things, and makes you think."

Knopf, New York 1980. "The Hunt is out-of-print but should be available in libraries.  It started the whole-cerebral thing for me back in the early '80's. You know this is a good book because it was heavily criticized by both hunters and anti-hunters.  Neither liked how they were portrayed.  But all Mitchell did was tour the USA to find out  why hunting raised such passions in people, and reported what he found.  I had the privilege of discussing the book with him when I went to the first Governor's Hunting Symposium in Bozeman, Montana.  He was a feature speaker and talked about how both sides roasted him for what he revealed.  His writing forced me to face some issues square on."

Tom Bateman 1938  The Conservation Education Wise Foundation ISBN 1-894255-17-8 Alva Bair spent all of his 81 years near the Milk River Valley of southern Alberta.  Trapping, hunting and fishing formed the basis for a love of nature that he share with thousands of people during his lifetime.  In his own quiet unassuming way he persuaded people to consider wildlife and the places where wildlife lives.  He taught others to share his concern for nature. He was a farmer, but wildlife, fish and the outdoors were his passions.  We will never know the extent of his influence, but there's no question about his vision and determination to ensure that wildlife enjoys a secure place in Alberta's future. Alva was well known and respected in the community of Milk River and  beyond as a man who cared about wildlife and natural areas. This book contains a brief description of  the life of southern Alberta's own extraordinary Conservationist.

Geist  Date: 1/3/2002 Publication: The Calgary Herald   Mule Deer Country fine finale to series (Bob Scammell - Outdoors) "It is fitting, then, that Whitetail Tracks and the series ends with a long chapter, Closing the Circle, and a short Epilogue, which together are Val Geist's personal testament and tribute to hunting and hunters. They should be read by all hunters, might-be hunters, and even those who think they have some reason to oppose hunting. In a late October e-mail interview Geist told me this of the whole series: I hope the books will serve in moral re-armament of hunter-conservationists as they face the future."
