Imagine for a moment what it was like learning about the white-tailed deer in the 1950s or 1960s. I know this period very well because I was a young farm kid who was becoming passionate about deer and deer hunting at that time. Unfortunately, there were very few resources available back then to help me learn about deer.
In the 1950s, very few people I knew had television, so there was no Versus Country, Wild TV, Sportsman Channel or Outdoor Channel to disseminate deer hunting information. Nor were there any pure deer hunting magazines to read on a monthly basis. About the only way a hunter could learn about whitetails was by spending time in the woods and tagging along with others who hunted.
Because most deer hunters where I grew up were recreational gun-hunters, who executed their craft by putting on deer drives, few knew anything about deer behavior. It wasn’t until I weaned myself
