With the new right-to-roam laws and the increased population of deer, this book is an invaluable guide to anyone exploring the countryside. The deer are there for those who have eyes to see and know what to look for. In Deer Watch you can share the lifetime’s experience of one of the country’s leading deer experts.

Reviews:
‘Richard Prior has long been regarded as one of the country’s leading experts on deer in this book he shares his knowledge in an easily accessible manner. The book contains ideas of where to go, what to look for, how to go about it and what equipment you will need.’ Shooting Gazette

‘…if you want only one book about the six species, the life cycles of deer, the signs they leave and how to find then, then this book would be ideal. It would be extremely useful as a starter book for someone who has expressed an interest in deer and equally useful to the more experienced person as a ‘dip-in’ reference book. Do I recommend it? Without hesitation.’ Deer
