WHERE DID THE DEER GO? THE STORY OF THE OLD WORLD AND NEW WORLD CULTURE CLASHES THAT CREATED THE AMERICAN INDIANS' FIRST GENUINE ECONOMY
This book contains information most people, even deer hunters, did not know. The book explains how America once had plenty of deer herds, and centuries later, had very few deer , to the point of extinction, and then, in the 19th century, gained deer in abundance once again.
The book is filled with state maps depicting WHERE imported deer originated and WHERE the deer were placed. It even list the states that did not import any other sub species whitetail within it's borders, like South Carolina.
In the first chapter of the book, Rusty wants you to feel like you are there with him, in 1966 at age 11, when a perfect racked, 8 pt buck jumped high, out of a thick honeysuckle patch and into an open soybean field..."Buck fever" was real for Rusty as he was frozen at first in his stance, gripping his heavy, bolt action Mossberg shotgun loaded with only 6 shot.
It was pure serendipity, that Rusty once ended up living in Bibb County, Alabama for a few years, where he searched out and discovered the first deer pens or "deer corrals" that were used to hold the first, imported North Carolina deer, into Alabama counties. Later, Alabama, like many other states listed in this book, imported deer (plus other species of ruminants) into their states and the Lacy law that had previously been implemented in 1900, was heavy handed Federally reinforced, with Game Wardens, with immense power and amendments later added to the Lacy Law.
But this book is much more as it goes into the amazing culture clashes of newly arrived Europeans old the "old world" and the already established native Indian tribes in America and the fact (that many historians fail to mention) of mixed cultures created that for decades, thrived together in the deepest south of America. However, President Andrew Jackson, "old hickory," with the support of the rest of the young Republic of America, put down the American with several bloody "Indian Wars."

Good good book!
Posted by T. Hawkins, Troy, Alabama on 4th Jul 2021
I had NO IDEA this country was so close to whitetail extinction in the 1800'S. This book woke me up to something...that is, how a GOOD and WISE government can do things, when not tied up in bureaucratic stupidity. I LOVED the first chapter story of Rusty Haynes seeing his first deer in Alabama as a boy. I LOVE these maps he put in the book showing where deer were relocated in all the states. I had no idea and I am 50 years old.

yes!
Posted by Danny Whitehead on 4th Jul 2021
It seems Mr. Haynes finally listened to us all and got this book in paperback (we don't have Kindle)
This book is awesome! Mr. Haynes is off a generation that these liberal kids should pay attention. When Mr. Haynes wrote the first chapter on his first encounter with a buck, while rabbit hunting I felt like I was there! No smart phones back then, you actually EXPERIENCED life.
