 "Tracking Dogs for Finding Wounded Deer" book by John Jeanneney
It’s a certainty that where youngsters used to cut their hunting teeth by roaming the fields with a.410 and a beagle in search of rabbits, the modern scenario is to set them in a treestand with a small centerfire (or bow) and wait for deer.
Beginning with an explanation of basic tracking techniques, the book proceeds into the finer details of suitable dog breeds, selecting individual puppies, basic and advanced training, finishing with chapters on regional tracking traditions and tracking competitions.
As the book points out, tracking dogs are extremely effective tools for finding wounded game, but the benefits of owning one go far beyond utilitarian.

You will not be able to convince them their deer herd is unhealthy or too dense for the habitat to support, or that the deer population is damaging the habitat for themselves and other species.
I'm a firm believer that QDM harvest guidelines are the best way to manage a deer herd, but there are going to be those hunters that won't like the results, and they are going to scream bloody murder when their deer sightings decline.
Most Michigan hunters already think they've already swallowed the brains when it comes to their knowledge of deer hunting, and either don't believe there's much to learn, or are blindly tradition-bound, or reluctant to listen to anything challenging their hunting M.O., or are just plain suspicious of "book learnin'" of any type.

Each state and province is separate in the book and each animal from the Boone and Crockett is listed by the state or province from which it was taken.
The only things that could make this book better are 1) there are a few minor printing errors such as placing the scoring summary to one game in the wrong place which happened 2 or 3 times [but not to any significant game] and one game in 1968 was mistakenly left out.
The book is also a little light in content, due in part to its structure - being more of a coffee table book with an equal emphasis given to pictures as to the written material.
