"Deer hunting is a classical exercise in freedom. It is a return to fundamentals that I instinctively feel sure are basic and right." – Fred Bear, "Thoughts on Hunting"
Richly illustrated with artwork from the Remington Arms Company's archives and the author's world-renowned collection, Classic Deer Camps lovingly recreates the flavor and romance of the deer camps of the Golden Age of American deer hunting. From the backwoods primitivism of Wisconsin's Echo Lake Camp to the rustic opulence of Maryland's Woodmont Rod and Gun Club, author Robert Wegner paints an unforgettable portrait of a bygone age when camaraderie, good cheer and song were just as important as the deer itself. Like his previous books Legendary Deer Camps and Legendary Deerslayers, Wegner's Classic Deer Camps is a monumental contribution to the lore of the uniquely American sport of white-tailed deer hunting.
