Description
In 1979, Robert Wegner received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin—Madison where he was trained as a cultural historian. After studying at the University of Heidelberg, West Germany and a short-term teaching career at the University of Wisconsin, he became the editor and co-owner of Deer & Deer Hunting magazine. After the magazine was sold to Krause Publications in 1992, he became a free-lance writer specializing in the cultural history of white-tailed deer and deer hunting.
His award-winning work has appeared in such magazines as Hunt Club Digest, Wisconsin Sportsman, Pennsylvania Game News, Michigan Sportsman, Fir, Fish, Game, Quality Whitetails, Whitetail Hunting Strategies, Wisconsin Outdoor Journal and many others. His landmark book trilogy, Deer & Deer Hunting, has sold more than 100,000 copies. Fred Bear referred to this three-volume work as “a classic in American hunting literature.”
Legendary Deer Camps (2001), part of The Classics Series from Deer & Deer Hunting magazine, won the 2003 Excellence in Craft Award from the Outdoor Writers’ Association of America. In his review of the book, Dr. James Swan, author of In Defense of Hunting writes: “Weaving together his love of deer hunting with his professional training as a historian, he has become the dean of the history of deer hunting in the United States.”
