The Deer Wars is Graeme Caughley’s vivid and authoritative account of New Zealand’s long, complex struggle to manage its exploding deer population. Blending ecology, history, and sharp social insight, Caughley traces how introduced deer transformed the landscape and sparked decades of conflict—between government agencies, hunters, farmers, conservationists, and commercial interests. Clear, engaging, and often dramatic, the book reveals how wildlife management decisions are shaped not only by science but by politics, economics, and human passion.
