Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
The boy had heard the old stories about a mysterious white deer that appeared among the fields of corn. Some said she had been formed from a star that fell to the earth; others said she had risen up from some tanks of spilt milk. But to the young boy, it seemed that's all she was, the stuff of stories--until one night when she appears on his farm, standing in the field, her coat a sparkling white. During this magical nighttime encounter, the deer leads the boy into the skies on a flight through the lights of the aurora, among the countless other creatures living in its glistening colors. But the boy will discover more the next day, when he tells his family about his experience. This modern folk tale inspires young readers to see the magic that comes from the twinkles of the nighttime sky.

Pages : 252
Book Description
"It's a Buck!" was written for the average weekend-hunter who simply enjoys being in the woods, enjoys the good-natured ribbing and camaraderie of his hunting partners, and who is thrilled when good fortune sends any buck his way, be it a spike-horn or a big 10-pointer. There are no stories of Boone and Crockett or Pope and Young record book bucks to be found within these pages. What you will find, however, are some down-to-earth hunting stories and recommended tactics based on 40 years of lessons learned the hard way. This is the real world of deer hunting.
