The Wild Red Deer of Scotland. Notes from an Island Forest on Deer, Deer Stalking, and Deer Forests in the Scottish Highlands. By Allan Gordon Cameron. Originally published in the early 1920's this scarce deer stalking title is now very hard to locate in its first edition. READ COUNTRY BOOKS have now republished it using the original text, maps and illustrations. The author was an experienced stalker and naturalist who wrote many articles for the sporting journals of that era. The life of a Scottish hill stag is a phenomenon without parallel in the natural history of the species and this book will prove of great interest to all with an interest in field sports and nature. Two hundred and sixty five pages contain fifteen detailed chapters including : - Deer Stalking Old and New. - The Hill Stag and the Hill Stalk. - A Naturalist in the Deer Forest. - Calving, Birth Rate etc. - Habits. - Duration of Life. - Stalking Methods. - Antlers (four chapters) - Deer Forest Reforms. - The Ideal Forest. - Deer Distribution etc. This is a fascinating read for any stalking enthusiast or historian of the species, and contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest sporting books, particularly those dating back to the 1800s, are now extremely scarce and very expensive. READ COUNTRY BOOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Excerpt from The Deer Forests of Scotland The kind reception given to my book of "Deer-stalking," in 1888, by deerstalkers as a body, coupled with the fact that sportsmen in general passed a favourable verdict on "Shooting and Salmon Fishing" in 1892, and on "Highland Sport" in 1894, has induced me once more to put pen to paper on a subject for which I think there is still room in the literature of sport, for, as far as I am aware, no one has hitherto attempted to describe or relate the anecdotes and statistics of the Scotch Deer Forests. Before, however, proceeding further with these pages, I wish to say, as I have previously said in each of my other books, that I wholly disclaim any pretension to literary merit.
