Originally published in English as White-Tailed Deer Habitat: 
Ecology and Management on Rangelands (Texas A&M University 
Press, 2005), this Spanish-language edition brings a valuable 
management tool to a new reading audience.

    Unlike other books on white-tailed deer in places where rainfall 
is relatively high and the environment stable, this book takes an 
ecological approach to deer management in the semiarid lands of 
Oklahoma, Texas, and northern Mexico. These are the least 
productive of white-tail habitats, where periodic drought punctuates 
long-term weather patterns. The book's focus on this landscape 
across political borders is one of its original and lasting 
contributions and makes this Spanish language edition particularly 
appropriate.
