This book is my ode to a lifelong love affair with the white-tailed deer. I have led expeditions in search of extinct species, stared down bears at mere feet, chased kudu across South Africa; and yet it's the whitetail that has my heart. At the core of Tine to Table is a rich collection of personal stories that teach and entertain at the same time.

Tine to Table is a fascinating look at white-tailed deer hunting and wild-game cooking through the eyes of a wildlife biologist, veteran traditional bowhunter, and award-winning author. The lessons on hunting, butchering, cooking, wildlife conservation, and even raising outdoor kids are so thoroughly woven into the stories that its easy to forget you're learning.

In a chapter titled, The Meat that Made America, Rohrbaugh uncovers the important role that white-tailed deer played in shaping the history of our nation, from defining Native American culture to influencing the outcome of the Civil War.

As a bonus, each chapter ends with a favorite venison recipe that will convert even the most skeptical newcomer to wild game.
