As with any animal, parasites are more prevalent among the poorest and weakest whitetails – especially malnourished deer – living on cramped range.

Why then, do so many hunters only look at the price tag when selecting a taxidermist?); Whitetails & Winchesters, Part 2 Deer Hunting Nostalgia Of The ’40s (Although the 1940s featured diverse hunters and literature, these elements held a common thread: Winchester fireearms); Coming Of Age At The Ten-Point Inn (A week at a backwoods deer camp lit the author’s deer-hunting fire and cemented lifelong friendships); Buck Shots 4-Year Quest Ends When Hunter Dupes Record-Class 9-Pointer (Learn how the author used patience, persistence and a little luck to outsmart a world-class Ontario buck); Deer Browse Bizarre But True: Blood Trail Leads Hunter To ‘Bonus Buck’ (When Leo Hubik set off to track a 7-pointer he shot, he also found an 8-pointer – with its antlers locked to his buck); Memories Of A Georgia Deer Hunter (As Uncle Bill began pulling his trigger, he spied a flaw.
