Hunting Black-Tailed Deer: An Oregon Perspective
"Rifle" magazine, January-February 1993, Number 145:"After enjoying 50 hunting seasons and collecting 66 deer, 33 of which were blacktails, Dr. Terkla has compressed his field experience into a small, unbelievably informative book.....Anyone who can bag 33 of them must know what he is doing, and Dr. Terkla's savvy shows on each page of his book.  His volume opens with the animals themselves, discussing their range, habitat, diet, behavior and routines, both daily and seasonal.  Diseases and parasites that plague them aren't neglected either.  Hunting techniques are detailed: still hunting, hunting timber, stand hunting, bow hunting, drive hunting, muzzleloader hunting, use of calls and decoys, hunting in the snow - he covers every aspect of the sport.....The result is a well-organized, lucid, easy-to-read text, filled with useful information.  Although specifically dedicated to the Columbian blacktail, the hunting techniques and field tips he describes should help any sportsman become a better hunter, no matter what animal he seeks."
