Richards, Brothers produce pocket-sized
field guide to aging bucks on the hoof
Watkinsville, Ga. – Following up on
their groundbreaking book “Observing & Evaluating
Whitetails,” authors Dave Richards and Al Brothers have
teamed to produce “A Field Guide to Aging Whitetail
Bucks on the Hoof,” which is printed on water-resistant
paper.
Published by the Quality Deer Management Association, it’s
a handy reference for aging live whitetail bucks; and at only
4x6 inches, it will fit in your pocket or day pack! Deer hunters
and anyone interested in white-tailed deer will want at least
one.
The 20-page, full color field guide is loaded with information
and high-quality photographs that will help anyone learn quickly
to age whitetail bucks on the hoof more accurately.
“Under the best of circumstances,” Richards and
Brothers write in the book’s introduction, “aging
white-tailed deer on the hoof is a calculated guess. However,
by applying the techniques outlined in this booklet, soon
you will be consistently aging bucks on the hoof in your area.”
Information on aging by behavior, by time of the year, and
by a combination of physical and behavioral indicators is
illustrated by more than three dozen high-quality photos of
whitetails in the field. Priced at $6.99, this field guide
is a perfect companion to the landmark “Observing &
Evaluating Whitetails,” which Richards and Brothers
published in 2003.
The new field guide and the larger observing-and-evaluating
volume are both available from QDMA, and can be ordered by
phone at (800) 209-3337 or online at www.QDMA.com.
