This is White Tail, King of the Forest by Nell Stolp Smock, a 1938 Platt & Munk Co., Inc. hardcover with its pictorial dust jacket and brown and orange illustrations throughout.
The dust jacket shows heavy chipping along the edges, a tear at the top of the back panel, and a dark stain on the front, while the pages inside are clean, as the photos show.
