The Story Of A Red Deer Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Story of a Red-Deer Once upon a time there was a little red-deer Calf. You know what a red-deer is, for you of all boys have been brought up to know, though it may be that you have never seen a calf very close to you. A very pretty little fellow he was, downy-haired and white-spotted, though as yet his legs were rather long and his ears were rather large, for he was still only a very few weeks old. But he did not think himself a baby by any means, for he was an early calf and had been born in the second week in May and a birthday in the second week in May is the greatest event that can occur in a red-deer's family. The first thing that he remembered was that he found himself lying very snug and warm in a patch of fern, with the most beautiful pair of brown eyes that ever were seen gazing straight down upon him.

Excerpt from Red Deer The wild red deer in the West of England have so largely increased in numbers recently as to occupy a very different and far more important position in the fauna of the country than used to be the case. Almost every one has heard as a kind of tradition that the red deer which used to roam in the forests all over England still remained wild in a corner of Somerset.

Excerpt from Some Account of Jura Red Deer The death rate of Deer probably is higher here than on the mainland Forests - Ross-shire for example - but no comparison can be made on equal terms because few old stags exist in Ross shire, and hinds are freely shot down there. Statistics of mortality stand in great need of collection and examination over different districts. Regarding the longevity of wild red-deer in Scotland, the facts Age of related below are instructive. Stags.

Excerpt from Red Deer: Natural History; Deer-Stalking; Stag-Hunting; Cookery Books on Natural History cover such a vast number of subjects that their writers necessarily find it impossible to deal with each in a really comprehensive manner; and it is not within the scope of such works exhaustively to discuss the animals described, in the light of objects of sport. Books on sport, again, seldom treat at length of the Natural History of the furred and feathered creatures which are shot or otherwise taken and, so far as the Editor is aware, in no book hitherto published on Natural History or Sport has information been given as to the best methods of turning the contents of the bag to account.

Excerpt from The Naturalist: The Growth of the Horns of the Red Deer Various accounts have been written respecting the red deer; but as controversies on the subject of the growth of the horns arise from time to time, I am induced to present the following observations, although they will be found to vary very materially from what has been written by others who are considered good authorities. The best description, and nearest the truth which I have yet met with, is in the eighth volume of the Penny Cyclopaedia, published by Charles Knight Co., in the year 1838. This however is not exactly correct, for, in the first place, it states that the horns of a male red deer do not appear till his second year, whereas they do appear in his first year as a knob, or single straight horn, varying in length from one to nine inches, but are not shed until he is twenty months old.
