Not my book but... January 7, 2008
I purchased this book for my husband who is very serious about his land! He didn't put it down until he finished it. He said the information was great and that, although he knows a lot, he learned a lot from this book. It now has little post-its marking those valuable pages. It was well worth the price!
Private Lands Management for Wildlife August 11, 2004
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
This is one of the best popular books dealing with wildlife management since the late Geogre Burger's book Practical Wildlife Management was published. It is very up-to-date and accurate. The only problem I have, and this is not a fault but a personal issue, is that it promotes specific brand name commercial products pretty heavily. All else aside it is a great book for anyone intested in managing private lands for wildlife.
