The Still-Hunter
By Theodore S. van Dyke
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage
of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality
reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable
prices.
This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images
of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also
preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics,
unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and
every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and
interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human
than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a
unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader
organically to the art of bindery and book-making.
We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection
resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and
their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes
beyond the mere words of the text.
STILL-HUNTING, the most scientific of all things pertaining to
hunting, has hitherto been almost confined to the backwoodsman or
frontiersman, and has been little enjoyed by those born and reared
at any distance from facilities for learning practically the ways
of the wild woods and plains. Thousands of our best shots with the
shot-gun are men born and bred in the city. But of the thousands
who enjoy the still-hunt the majority are backwoodsmen. One great
reason of this is that the art is one requiring for proficiency
more life in the forest than the average city man can spend there.
But another great reason has been the almost utter lack of any
information or instruction upon the subject. For this, the greatest
and most important branch of the whole art of hunting has, I may
safely say, been totally neglected by the great body of writers
upon field-sports. Not without hesitation have I undertaken to
explore this "dark continent" of the world of field-sports. At this
day a writer upon almost any other subject has the roads, paths,
blaze-marks, and charts of a dozen or more explorers before him. I
have nothing to follow; the only work upon deer, that of Judge
Caton, thorough and fine as it is, deals only with the anatomy,
physiology, and natural history of deer; all those habits which it
is essential for the still-hunter to thoroughly understand being as
much beyond the scope of his work as the part he has treated of is
beyond the scope of this work.
