A large portion of the photos included are from New York, Maine, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.

A treasure trove of old deer hunting photos of the late 1800's early 1900's combined with an informative narrative. By nature of the old photos, this book is in black an white, not color. It is printed on high quality paper, sadly printed in China. I would have gladly paid more for a USA printed book, particularly given the nature of the book. Having said that, it is currently very good value for the money.. I have this in my "man cave" in the basement MVL I have this in my "man cave" in the basement.
