Book excerpt: What was it like to hunt in Minnesota in the late 1800s? Imagine an open prairie or virgin forest, teaming with game birds and big game. No bag limits existed at the time and the immigrant population of the state numbered only in the thousands.Windom was a bird hunter's paradise. Aitkin and Hallock drew big game hunters from the big cities on the east coast. Willmar, Bird Island and Sauk Centre were pioneer country, where prairies held millions of ducks and prairie grouse."Minnesota - a Sportsman's Paradise" gives a first-person narrative of what hunting was like in the 1850 - 1900 frontier of Minnesota. Gleaned from the pages of sporting publications of the day, here are the first European hunters with modern firearms retelling what they encountered on their hunting expeditions. Railroad cars brought them to St. Paul, Madelia and Brainerd, but only footpower and horses carried them beyond that.And what they describe is incredible to envision. Near cities whose names we recognize, and on lakes and rivers we still hunt, we are given vivid descriptions of the multitude of birds and game. Clouds of ducks, fields crawling with sharptailed grouse, herds of elk - all in places we still hunt today.And pictures! Amazing black and white photos showing the fruits of the labors. Appalling by today's standards, but bragging rights back then. Wagons full of gamebirds, bags of moose and deer that only a wilderness could provide. Only the social elite could afford to have a photograph, but here is the president of First National Bank, investors from New York, and other titans of industry and government.So come take a trip back in time. See how your favorite haunts were also enjoyed by hunters more than a century ago. It is an engaging and entertaining glimpse into the Sportsman's Paradise that was Minnesota.

Download or read book Tales of Whitetails written by Archibald Rutledge and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archibald Rutledge--renowned outdoor writer, poet laureate, and authority on whitetails--is again returned to print in this stirring collection of thirty-five of his finest deer stories. Rutledge, who lived a rich life at Hampton Plantation in South Carolina, had a mystical attachment to deer that found fulfillment in hunting and writing. No American sporting writer has been more persuasive in capturing the myriad, and often elusive, meanings of the hunt. According to editor Casada, Rutledge has an unrivaled knack for capturing the thrill of the chase, and his ability to set a scene is such that it places the reader squarely amidst the deep swamps, ridges of mixed pines and hardwoods, and dense thickets of palmetto and greenbrier. Rutledge considered deer, "that noble, elusive, crafty, wonderful denizen of the wilds," to be the wisest of the game animals. His firm belief was that there was "much more to hunting than hunting." He praised whitetails in poetry, found in them a basis for a sophisticated philosophy, and, most of all, immortalized the world of the hunter and the hunted in prose." Tales of Whitetails is the only book ever published devoted exclusively to Rutledge's deer tales.

Download or read book Classic Hunting Tales written by Vin T. Sparano and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter when and where it’s done, the love—and dangers—of hunting will always remain. For more than forty million Americans who hunt, here is the ideal companion. Vincent T. Sparano, a lifelong devotee of hunting stories—and himself a hunter—presents these timeless tales, each a thrilling account of man and beast. Twenty-five stories reveal the adventure, the spirit, the fear, and the danger involved in hunting—from the truly terrifying “The Croc That Wouldn’t Die” to the nearly unbelievable “Nightmare Hunt,” in which a hunter is mauled by bears, and survives. There are tales of tigers and rams, of deer and cougars. There is the classic story of a moose hunt in the wilds of Alaska in 1897. But another side to hunting is also here—the camaraderie, the friendship, and the responsibility of one hunter for another. Throughout the book runs a constant theme: the loyalty of men sharing a common goal. And within that framework is another loyalty of the hunter and his dog. No collection of hunting stories would be complete without a selection that skillfully and touchingly portrays the feelings between human and animal. And no story reveals it with more dignity than “Nat’s Dog.” A full collection covering the range of stories and experiences of hunters, Classic Hunting Tales gives keen insight to the outdoors and all who dwell there.
