Gardeners, hunters, farmers, homeowners, motorists, and wildlife watchers each may have their own opinions of deer – but it’s no exaggeration to say that Iowa’s prolific deer herd affects nearly every person in the state.

Larry A. Stone of Elkader, author of Whitetail: Treasure, Trophy or Trouble? – A History of Deer in Iowa, will speak at the Lied Public Library in Clarinda at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, May 2, 2022. The program is free and open to the public.

Stone worked with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources on the deer history project. His PowerPoint, which is adapted from the book, traces the fascinating saga of an animal that had nearly vanished a century ago, but whose population has exploded in recent years. It’s a testimony to the incredible adaptability of deer, as well as to a century of conservation and restoration efforts – and the challenges of managing a prolific herd.

It’s a story with broad appeal to anyone interested in Iowa’s outdoors. The program includes striking photos by Larry and premier wildlife photographer the late Roger Hill, of Roland, Ia. The program lasts about 40 minutes, and will be followed by an open discussion and questions.
