Adventures of a Frontier Naturalist: The Life and Times of Dr. Gideon Lincecum $13.95 Lincecum’s experiences of following the frontier in the early 1800s, all the way from Georgia to Texas, were not so unusual in themselves, but the intellect and wit that inform his memoirs make them unique. His scientific articles and collections of specimens, his correspondence with leading scientists of the time, and his six years among the colony of ex-Confederates in Tuxpan, Mexico, offer still other insights into the age. Lincecum portrays many aspects of frontier social life, including marriage and divorce, slavery as practiced by the small slaveholder, education, religion as critiqued by a freethinker, the social life of the Choctaws and Chickasaws, medical controversies, and the building of towns. He vividly describes the unspoiled flora and fauna of Texas in 1835 and entertains with tales of hunting deer, bear, turkey, and waterfowl.

Cost Of Providing Services And Amenities On A Deer Hunting Lease In East Texas. $69 Michael Kevin Hartman,Paperback, English-language edition,Pub by ProQuest, UMI Dissertation Publishing

Cost of providing services and amenities on a deer hunting lease in East Texas. $49.99 Providing a quality, valuable hunting lease can be a costly investment. Landowners who have invested in forest land may be operating at a loss or not making the desired return due to many factors. Few studies have considered these factors, so most landowners have operated at less than optimum efficiency. This study was conducted to provide critical analysis of costs and inputs needed for a profitable hunting lease operation. Costs in this study were divided between amenities and management activities. Amenities were defined as those items that enhance the hunter's comfort, such as a campsite or camp house. Management activities were defined as those items contributing to the security or habitat improvement of the hunting lease. Common hunting lease amenities and management activities were determined and costs were identified. Costs then were projected and discounted over the course of a 30-year pine plantation rotation to determine net present value, soil expectation value and soil rent. Discount rates of 2.5, 7.5 and 12.5% were chosen to reflect common investment opportunities. Tract sizes of 100, 500, 1,000 and 5,000 acres were chosen to reflect a wide range of hunting lease sizes and to determine if economies of scale existed. Site index classes of 50, 70, and 90 feet (base age 25 years) were chosen to represent normal range of sites found in East Texas. Total cost of activities or amenities included opportunity cost where activities or amenities required forest land removed from production. Results indicated economies of scale do exist across almost every management activity and amenity. Opportunity cost analysis indicated that economies of scale also exist for opportunity costs. The end result provides a financial tool that allows the landowner to select management activities, amenities and desired rate of return in a menu style format to estimate the cost of providing a forested hunting lease. The cost then would be passed on to the leasing hunter,

Heart and Blood $21 When it comes to deer, wildness is the greatest truth. And tameness is a tender, innocent lie. So writes Richard Nelson, award-winning author of The Island Within, in this far-ranging and deeply personal look at our complex relationship with this most beautiful, but amazingly elusive, creature.Heart and Blood: Living with Deer in America begins with the author tracking a deer on a remote island off the Alaskan coast. From there he takes us on a kaleidoscopic journey, visiting such disparate territories of the deer as a hunting ranch in Texas; a state park in California; a Wisconsin forest on opening day of the hunting season; Fire Island, New York; and the suburbs of Denver–where the deer have become so numerous that they pose hazards to landscape, motorist, and pedestrian alike. Nelson examines the physiology of the deer, explaining how its unique digestive system and grazing habits have enabled it to thrive in the varied environments of the United States, whether wild, suburban, or urban. He investigates the different methods of controlling the deer’s skyrocketing numbers, from the more humane methods of relocation and sterilization, to hunting–in all its forms. Nelson also explores the role of the deer in traditional Native American life, takes us with him on a hunt, and awes us as he witnesses the birth of a fawn–an event rarely seen by humans. By the end of this journey we understand the deep reverence in which the author holds this magnificent animal. For to know the deer is to glimpse the hidden heart of wildness itself. In Heart and Blood, Richard Nelson has produced a book of outstanding insight and intelligence that brings us closer to our natural world and, inthe process, closer to our own true nature

Old Yeller $23 When a novel like Huckleberry Finn, or The Yearling, comes along it defies customary adjectives because of the intensity of the respouse it evokes in the reader. Such a book, we submit, is Old Yeller; to read this eloIquently simple story of a boy and his dog in the Texas hill country is an unforgettable and deeply moving experience.The big, ugly, yellow dog showed up out of nowhere one night and stole a whole side of hanging pork, and when Travis went for him the next morning that dog started yelling like a baby before he was touched. Then he got into the spring water with five-year-old Arliss, Travis took an easy hate to Old Yeller, as they started to call him; in fact, he would have driven him off or killed him if it hadn’t been for brother Arliss’ loud and violent protests, So Yeller stayed, and Travis soon found he couldn’t have got along without him.Pa and Ma and Travis and Arliss lived on Birdsong Creek in the Texas hill country. It wasn’t an easy life, but they had a snug cabin that Pa had built himself, and they had their own hogs and their own cattle, and they grew most of what else they needed. The only thing they and the rest of the settlers lacked that year in the late 1860′s was cash, so the men decided to get together and drive all the cattle up to the new market in Abilene, Kansas, more than six hundred miles away.Travis was only fourteen, but he was proud of his new role as man of the family and determined to live up to his responsibility. It was hard work, too, plowing until his legs ached, chopping wood until his hands were raw and his head was spinning, weeding the garden in the hot sun, toting the heavy buckets tip from the spring, and trying to keep hismischievous little brother in line.But there were pleasant moments, too: his Ma treating him like a man, and deer hunting in the early-morning stillness, and hot summer nights out in the corn patch under the stars with Old Yeller, trying to keep the coons and skunks out of the winter

The Assassination Arrow $29.45 Clovis had put the arrow exactly where he intended. Without hesitation, he eased out of the cleft of the cliff that he had used to conceal himself and where he had been waiting. He has a story to tell and one that needed to be told, but how could he prove his story was true? If he cannot survive, the truth about killing Vice President Peterson may never be known. J. ALLAN SMITH was raised in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Montana where he developed a passion for the mountains. As a youth, he spent every possible opportunity hunting, fishing, or trapping, but he also had aspirations to become a preacher. He followed that dream to Texas where he earned his B.S. Degree in Secondary Education from Lubbock Christian University in 1986. Since then he has also earned his Masters Degree in Education and a Masters Degree in Communication. Now he and his wife Vicky live in the log house they built on a small farm in Middle Tennessee. Together they enjoy hunting, fishing, backpacking, horseback riding and relaxing on the front porch. Here you can often find him watching the deer and turkey feeding in the front pasture, visiting with friends, reading The Word, and, of course, writing.

The Reluctant Hunter $10.29 THE RELUCTANT HUNTER won the Texas Writers Recognition Award for poetry, a grant of $2000 toward publication of this book, sponsored by the Texas Commission On Arts and presented by the Texas Institute Of Letters. The first edition was published by Latitudes Press in 1989.THE RELUCTANT HUNTER is a collection of sixty poems, covering a span of twenty years. The setting is West Texas at its best and at its worst. There is a subtext of the hunter moving from an over-persuaded spouse to a devotee of the sport. In the beginning, she sat in a deer blind with a shotgun on her left and a rifle on her right, doing what she loved to do best in the world, dreaming with a pen in her hand and a notebook in her lap writing poetry. She was a city girl who loved concrete and indoor plumbing, but sometime during those twenty seasons she fell in love with the spreading oaks, the kalechi roads, the scrubby mesquite-covered hills, the rustic old cabin, and last but far from least, the simple pleasures of hunting with her husband on their deer lease in Brackettville.

White-tailed Deer Habitat $25.07 For most of the last century, range management meant managing land for livestock. The best measure of success was how well a landowner grew the grass that cattle ate. In this century, landowners look to hunting and wildlife viewing for income; rangeland is now also wildlife habitat, and landowners are managing their land not just for cattle but also for wildlife, most notably deer and quail. 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 Olklahoma, 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. Another is its contention that good management is based on ecological principles that guide the manager’s thinking about: – Habitat Requirements of White-Tailed Deer- White-Tailed Deer Nutrition- Carrying Capacity- Habitat Manipulation- Predators- Hunting
