Hunting

People worldwide covet antlers as not only trophies but for use as rare medicine, beautiful ornaments, and deadly weapons. More than 120 breathtaking photographs and an all-encompassing text make Antlers: Nature's Majestic Crown by award-winning nature photographers Erwin and Peggy Bauer the book on antlered animals of North America and Europe. Trophy whitetails, moose, caribou, elk, and European deer are covered in-depth. The authors present the full range of current information on these species including their range, behavior, mating habits, winter survival techniques, and physical characteristics. Readers will also learn where to go to find the biggest antlers, how trophy-hunting may impact the growth of a species, and how to take spectacular photographs of antlered creatures. The focal point, however, is on these creatures' antlers, what they are used for, what they are made of, and how they grow. Hardback
