"Deer Management 101 should be on the bookshelf of every serious whitetail hunter. Grant Woods is not only one of our country's top authorities on whitetail biology and management, he's also an astute and successful hunter. That rare combination makes him the perfect candidate to write this book. DM101 provides solid, logical, science-based strategies for the hunter/landowner wanting to maximize the potential of whitetails and their habitat."

"Grant Woods and his co-authors have spent their professional lives working with deer and translating deer research into practice. They know what works in the field and what doesn't. Their book is the perfect mix of research and practice. It should be a part of every deer enthusiast's library and referred to regularly. I wish we had this book before we started our management program."

"Dr. Grant Woods understands that today's deer hunters crave in-depth, hands-on information about white-tailed deer. Not only has Dr. Woods pioneered new research techniques to obtain hard-core insights into whitetail behavior, but he also knows how to make his findings understandable and relevant to deer hunters everywhere. This book showcases his talents as a keen observer of deer and their habitats and reveals how hunters can put those insights to work on their hunting lands."

"...Great effort on the part of the authors in producing what is an easy reading book covering some quite technical aspects to deer management. It always staggers me that as I learn more and more about whitetail herd management in North America, from particularly Dr. Grant Woods, I recognize the many similarities with domesticated deer farming in New Zealand. So many of the principles discussed and explained about whitetail herd management, hold true for our deer farming management in New Zealand. The area with which I am most familiar is quality forages and nutrition. Here in New Zealand farming we have the adage about animal productivity "10% breeding, 90% feeding." Likewise for white-tailed deer, I expect that where all else is managed, deer nutrition and the provision of forages that match nutritional demands of deer during the year is key, as alluded to several times throughout the book..."

"Grant Woods should have been a teacher--this book is straightforward, no-nonsense biology in a conversational form easily digested by professionals or those new to the world of whitetail deer. This is sure to be the deer management textbook of the new Century."

"A more knowledgeable deer-herd manager you'll never find. Dr. Grant Woods has taken the complex science of quality herd management and made it make sense, allowing every hunter and landowner to get the most out of their land and deer population."

-A.E. Walsh
Publisher
American Hunter magazine

"Grant Woods brings his readers to a new level of hunting maturity. Within every sentence, this book is brimming with information and education on the wise use and future stewardship of our deer resource. Woods poignantly helps hunters realize that their management role is much bigger than their/our own self righteousness. Whereby shooting adult does is more of an obligation to the land than to their own self-interests. This book is the next Bible on Deer Management 101."
