Contained within this book is a collection of essays and articles on the subject of hunting and stalking deer in Scotland. Written by various authors, these essays cover a range of subjects from history and culture to famous hunters, hunting techniques, and beyond. "The Book of the Red Deer" is highly recommended for modern hunting enthusiasts, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage hunting literature. Contents include: "Deerstalking in the Scottish Highlands", "The Deer in the Morning of the World", "Ancient Sketchbook and With Rifle", "The Red Deer of Galloway", "Some Royal Hunters of the Highland Deer", "Deer and Boar in Gaelic Literature", "An American's Impressions of Deerstalking in Scotland", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on deer hunting and stalking.
