Legendary Deerslayers

Emphasizing adventure, natural history, and Americana from a simpler, more romantic era of deer hunting, white-tailed deer historian Rob Wegner presents readers with this dramatic, complimentary volume to Legendary Deer Camps. The next installment in the Deer & Deer Hunting Classics Series, this outstanding collection of writings and nostalgia from our 19th century deer camps, and the history surrounding their colorful occupants, reconnects readers with this time-honored tradition.
