This hunting guide is offered primarily as an aid for the prospective deer hunter or one with limited experience. It is hoped also that the woods-wise hunter will find an occasional item of interest and value to repay him for his reading. I am sure he would be the first to agree that it is advisable to supply the prospective deer hunter with reliable foreknowledge of hunting equipment and its use, and to offer practical ways for insuring personal comfort and safety in the field.Under the drive of modern living, I am certain that deer hunting offers esthetic rewards that balance and often exceed the practical aspects of the activity. This book can only point the way.
