This book chronicles the author's attempt to take six exceptional bucks of the six varieties of deer in North America all in the same year! There are three major species of deer (the triple) and each of those species has two subspecies (the double). This "triple-double" had never been attempted before. Lance is an outstanding writer and really brings his adventures alive in this book. Among the many hunts he writes about, two are Coues deer hunts in Mexico. Any deer hunter will enjoy this book!

Books about wildlife in the Southwest
Since its first publication in 1983, The Wolf in the Southwest has proven itself as the single most valuable and informative reference to Canis lupus of the Mexican borderlands. Now, the descendents of the last wolves captured in Mexico once again roam portions of wilderness in New Mexico and Arizona. With reintroduction, this second edition contains a new Preface and Epilogue by David E. Brown, and a new Foreword by author and biologist Harley Shaw. Once again there are wolves in the woods, and just as in the days of the pioneers, people are taking sides. Love him or hate him, the wolf is again making history, and The Wolf in the Southwest is back in print.

Arizona Game Birds
Arizona Gamebirds by
David E. Brown
A review by Scott Swindle: Cabeza de Vaca and some
of his fellow Spaniards went through some incredible hardships as some of the
first Europeans in the New World. They first set out on an ill-advised voyage
from Cuba to Florida, where they lost their ships. They built primitive boats
which they intended to sail around the coast to Mexico. They went past Mobile
Bay, then cut across the Gulf to Texas, where they were captured by the local
tribe. Of the 300 Spaniards who left out on the voyage, only 4 survived to tell
the tale. De Vaca spent years as a slave to the Indians. He was half-starved (as
were his hosts), regularly beaten, and naked. He eventualy linked up with some
of his surviving comrades, including a Moorish slave, and they began an epic
journey across what is now the Southwest United States and Northern Mexico. He
gained a reputation as a medicine man, and soon had an entourage of thousands
that travelled with him from village to village. When he finally reached Spanish
settlements on the Pacific, the only thing his fellow 'civilized' men were
interested in were his followers, which they saw as easy prey for slaves. De
Vaca tried in vain to stop the slavers. This was a man who never lost his faith
in God or his faith in man. It is simly an incredible journey, and one that does
not get enough attention. Though this account is nearly half a millenium old,
the translation is easy to read and not at all boring.
Eiger Dreams: Ventures Among Men and... Eiger Dreams: Ventures Among Men and Mountains by Jon Krakauer
A word of advice if you sit down to enjoy this book: bundle up. Like climbers, you'll begin to experience the overriding sensation of bitter cold mixed with jubilation at reaching the summit (and in some cases, reaching the bottom safely). With the success of Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air and other accounts of Everest expeditions, the time is ripe for a collection of epics. An "epic" means the climb went wrong: the party got lost, an avalanche destroyed the camp, climbers got frostbitten, etc. All those disasters and more are here; in fact, one of the most harrowing passages recounts a climber watching helplessly as a colleague slides off a cliff into 4,000 feet of thin air. Editor Willis has chosen the contributions wisely: these men are writers as well as climbers, and despite the numbing cold throughout, the action never stops, even when Art Davidson and crew are stuck in a tent on Mt. McKinley for days in minus-148 degree wind chills. All the stories here are celebrations of the good and the bad about one of the most dangerous things humans try simply because they can.
