This is an excerpt from John Fletcher's book, "A Life For Deer" This book is about one man's love-affair with deer. In this fascinating autobiography he shares his detailed knowledge of deer history and behaviour. "A Life for Deer" is the charming and amusing story of John Fletcher's happy realisation that the production of venison is a viable business, from his first encounter with red deer on the
tiny Hebridean island of Rum, through the first tentative stalkings on a snowy Highland mountainside with a tranquiliser gun, to his present eminence as one of the world's leading authorities. |
