Download or read book Buck Fever written by Mike Sajna and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every fall close to one million hunters enter Pennsylvania's forests and mountains in quest of the white-tailed deer. Some are seeking sport and companionship; others are stocking their larders for winter; many are conservationists who regard hunting as the most humane way of reducing overpopulated deer herds. They all face the increasing activism of animal rights advocates who are opposed to hunting in principle and who frequently picket and harass hunters. This controversial subject is explored in depth by Mike Sajna, the outdoors columnist for Pittsburgh Magazine and a twenty-year veteran of Pennsylvania's "pumpkin army," the orange-clad throng that invades the woods every season. To explain the ethos and traditions of hunting he takes the reader to a typical deer camp in Warren County, in the rugged terrain of the Allegheny High Plateau. Starting with the trek north from their homes around Pittsburgh, he captures the sights and sounds, thoughts and feelings of three generations of hunters. With humor, affection, and insight he recounts the hunting lore, the camaraderie, the physical testing that make deer camp a unique experience.

Download or read book Deer Wars written by Bob Frye and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2006-10-15 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of deer management in Pennsylvania is as complex as it is controversial. From the disappearance of deer in Pennsylvania forests at the beginning of the twentieth century to the population explosion that occurred in the latter half of the century, the balance between herd size and a healthy forest has long been a difficult one. In Deer Wars, Bob Frye examines this controversy and the effect that herd management has had on all of the citizens of Pennsylvania; farmers managing deer invasions and property rights, hunters dealing with changing herd densities and ever-complex restrictions, state agencies juggling the rights of hunters with the needs of commercial interests, all with stakes in the success and health of the deer herd. Now with deer harvests decreasing, Chronic Wasting Disease becoming a potential threat, and forests showing serious signs of trouble, the need for compromise from all of the players is essential, but is it possible? This well-researched and engrossing book explores that question.

GRANDSON of George Ott, one of the original buffalo hunters of Central Pennsylvania and himself slayer of many hundreds of bison on the plains of the Great West, Daniel Ott of Selin's Grove, Snyder County, is one of the historically noteworthy personages of the Keystone State. In company with Hon. George W. Wagenseller, editor of the Middleburg Post, and J. Herbert Walker, associate editor of the Lewisburg Journal, the writer recently visited the venerable nimrod at his cozv home on the outskirts DANIEL OTT, Born May 27, 1820, A Pennsylvanian Who Has Killed Many Buffaloes in The West. of the quaint old town of Selin's Grove. Nimble and mentally alert, despite his 95 years, the old hunter, who is still a handsome man and has the aquiline nose and tight drawn lips which are usually signs of character, greeted his guests cordially, and unfolded to them the marvelous story of his life. Frequently during the narrative he told jokes, which convulsed his hearers, and his fine amber colored eyes, as clear as those of the poet Keats, were alive with keenness and humor. Daniel Ott was born in Selin's Grove on May 27, 1820, being the son of Daniel Ott, Sr., (1784-1852) and grandson of George Ott, (17451814), one of the original pioneers on the Karoondinha, now known as Penn's Creek. George Ott, who was a native of Chester County, took up 400 acres of wild land in what is now Snyder County in 1796, when that region still abounded with wild beasts and roving Indians. In Daniel Ott's own words let him describe his thrilling life's pilgrimage. "I was born in the house where I now reside, and am of Dutch and English ancestry. My father and grandfather, the pioneers, were not hunters in the modern meaning of the word, as the game came up to their doors...

Download or read book On the Hunt written by Robert C Willging and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2013-01-22 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Hunt is the story of deer-hunting in Wisconsin, from the spear-throwing Paleo-Indians to the sportsmen of today. Meticulously researched by one of the state's most prolific outdoor writers, On the Hunt covers subsistence and sport hunting, deer camps, changing deer management policies, and recent developments and controversies, from human encroachment on deer habitat to CWD. Range maps and charts tracking annual herd populations and harvest goals complement Willging's engaging storytelling. Drawing from Department of Conservation papers, hunting magazines, newspapers, historic photos of classic deer camps, and the personal stories of hunters and deer managers, On the Hunt offers a fascinating glimpse into a distant and not-so-distant past, when the hunt joined men in almost mythical unity and bucks were seemingly larger than life. An ardent sportsman with nearly 25 years of hunting experience, Willging understands that deer-hunting is as much about the smell of the woods in autumn and the meticulous cleaning of a fine rifle as it is about bringing home a whitetail. His story of how Wisconsin's own World War II flying ace, Richard Bong, squeezed in a few days of hunting while home on leave vividly illustrates the sport's powerful pull on hearts and minds. Willging also engagingly conveys the important tradition of the deer-hunting camp, from a humble two-man shack in Chequamegon National Forest (like the one he shared with his best friend, Steve) to the grand old Deer Foot Lodge founded in 1912 in Vilas County. On the Hunt is perfect preparation for the avid sportsman's annual fall trek with friends and family into the woods.
Download or read book The Fair Chase written by Philip Dray and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning historian tells the story of hunting in America, showing how this sport has shaped our national identity. From Daniel Boone to Teddy Roosevelt, hunting is one of America's most sacred-but also most fraught-traditions. It was promoted in the 19th century as a way to reconnect "soft" urban Americans with nature and to the legacy of the country's pathfinding heroes. Fair chase, a hunting code of ethics emphasizing fairness, rugged independence, and restraint towards wildlife, emerged as a worldview and gave birth to the conservation movement. But the sport's popularity also caused class, ethnic, and racial divisions, and stirred debate about the treatment of Native Americans and the role of hunting in preparing young men for war. This sweeping and balanced book offers a definitive account of hunting in America. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of our nation's foundational myths.
