Vintage Hunting & Outdoor Sports Book (1964)
A classic mid-century Hunting & Outdoor Sports handbook packed with practical, field-tested advice from twenty experienced hunters. Instead of one author’s take, this is a collection of techniques and stories covering big game, small game, varmints, ducks, geese, and upland birds. Inside are black-and-white photos plus line drawings credited to editor Vlad Evanoff—easy to dip into by topic.
