IN VELVET: ELK, WAPITI, AND DEER STORIES In this compelling memoir, Dr. Jerry Haigh shares 34 years of hands-on experience working with deer across the globe. The book is divided into three fascinating sections: Part One: A behind-the-scenes look at zoo and free-ranging elk (wapiti) projects in Western Canada, blending science with storytelling. Part Two: The pioneering tale of organizing the first air shipment of elk to New Zealand since President Roosevelt's 1905 donation, along with other international consulting adventures. Part Three: A closer look at deer farming, including an intimate account of the Haigh family's elk farm in Saskatoon. Enhanced by over 60 expertly curated sources and more than 50 vivid color photographs, many taken by Dr. Haigh himself, this book is both a celebration of wildlife and a treasure trove of practical knowledge.
