Years ago, I read the most enjoyable book about a woman and her husband who wrote books about deer in Northern Mich. I cannot remember the author's name or the name of the book. Hopefully some of you might be familiar with the book. If so please help.
Thanks,

As the daughter of a retired school Librarian and an avid hunter and fisherman, plus being the patron of a fantastic library (www.cmpl.org if you want to take a look), your inquiry really intrigues me. Could you provide some additional information to help narrow down the possibilities?
Was the book fact or fiction?
Was the book a biography?
Was the book illustrated?
Was the book solely about deer or all Michigan wildlife?
Approximately when did you read the book (will help eliminate more recent books)
Were you living in Michigan at the time? (Was it distributed locally in Michigan, or was it nationally distributed?)
Where did you acquire the book? (library or bookstore)
These answers will help tremendously to narrow down the book!
I am intrigued also!
Was the book current or historical? Logger baron and
log camp days with Ford Model A's on skiis?
Send your address and we will send you all the deer
you can keep. : ))))
Many of them here get their heads stuck in those little
plastic halloween pumpkin goody tubs, thinking those
things are real pumpkins, which the poor deers eat in
the fields anyway.
We have too many here little babies hit by cars and
flung across the roads, mommas hit and bucks too,
its a veritable bumper car territory here. Deer season
should be longer to help them out a bit more. Also,
when you hit a deer, your car if never right again.
We now also have wasting disease here of the deer.
Why would anyone in their right mind even eat them?
ARGH. Its a mess.
They don't pay attention to me and my DH when we
do our farm chores we bang pots and wheelbarrows,
and the tractors, they dont even look up anymore at
us. The hay fields we have are more of attention
grabber than us old noisy things, and they know that
we don't like "venison" so they feel safe here.
Not that we like the crashes, and the starvation and
all that either. Like I said, its a mess!
Happy New Year, Happy Holidays

You many want to check this web site. With a husband who is an advid hunter, and with 200 acres of woods, I can well understand your concern of Chronic Wasting Disease. However, there is no proof that the deer in the wild here in Michigan have CWD. Not yet anyway. The state of Wisconsin deer do have it.

There was a case of a deer breeding facility in Kent County. The owner sent the culled deer to the Michigan Department of Agriculture for required testing. The deer was a three-year-old white-tailed doe. Keeping in mind that deer was in an enclousure.
