A Pennsylvania Bison Hunt, And Pennsylvania Deer And Their Horns (1915) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781165979493)

""A Pennsylvania Bison Hunt, And Pennsylvania Deer And Their Horns"" is a book written by Henry Wharton Shoemaker and originally published in 1915. The book is a collection of stories and essays about hunting in Pennsylvania, focusing primarily on the bison and deer populations. The first section of the book recounts Shoemaker's own experiences on a bison hunt in Pennsylvania, which was a rare occurrence at the time due to the near-extinction of the species. He describes the thrill of the hunt and the challenges involved in tracking and taking down such a large animal. The second section of the book is devoted to Pennsylvania deer and their horns. Shoemaker provides detailed information on the different types of deer found in the state, their habits and habitats, and the various methods of hunting them. He also delves into the history and symbolism of deer antlers, which have long been prized as hunting trophies and cultural artifacts. Throughout the book, Shoemaker emphasizes the importance of responsible and ethical hunting practices, as well as the need for conservation efforts to protect Pennsylvania's wildlife populations. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the world of hunting and wildlife in early 20th century Pennsylvania, and is sure to appeal to anyone interested in the history of the sport or the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
