Big Game of North America

Big Game of North America is a spectacular tribute to the big game animals of the U.S.A., Canada, and Mexico. Coverage of the 17 big game animals begins with a discussion of each animal's basic characteristics followed by a brief overview of behavior and conservation, an illustrated tracking diagram, and a current range map. Erwin Bauer's personal, lively text is highlighted by more than 120 full-color photographs. Sections cover horned animals, antlered animals, large cats, and bears.

Unfortunately, today many big game species are threatened as never before. Big Game of North America inspires those who realize that our big game is precious and worth saving to work even harder to save our remaining wild places.

Animals covered are:
Horned animals: Bighorn sheep, Dall sheep including stone and Fannin sheep, pronghorn antelope, mountain goats, bison, and muskoxen.
Antlered animals: Whitetailed deer, mule deer and blacktailed deer, elk, moose, and caribou.
Large Cats: Mountain lions and jaguar.
