Anyone interested in old school eastern deer hunting, period rifles, equipment and such would do well to get a copy of Shots at Whitetails by Larry R Koller. Mr. Koller was an extraordinary deer hunter and writer. He started his book in the 1930's, finishing it after the War. It was first published I believe in 1948. Reprints are available on eBay etc. Incidentally Larry was a huge fan of the 250-3000 cartridge in the Model 99 Savage.

Frank - I just finished reading it and returned it to my hunting and fishing pal of some forty years - And it was a first edition. A great book with some very classic Northeastern deer hunting lore and customs of the day.
