THE ANGLER AND HUNTSMAN 



business ties and for various other reasons, cannot explore 

 the wonders of nature as soon as they would like to. They 

 are none the less sportsmen, however, and keenly ardent 

 ones at that, for their heart's in the right place and if they 

 had their way about things their longing would soon be 

 gratified, but ofttimes obstacles beset one's pathway and 

 delay the realization of one's fondest hopes. 



To this great army of sportsmen, as well as to the ini- 

 tiated, we have faith that this book will appeal; that it 

 will open the doors which bar their vision of nature's sub- 

 lime beauty; that it will in a small measure, at least, al- 

 leviate the suffering of those who would and cannot an- 

 swer th,e call at the present time ; and we hope very hum- 

 bly hope it will be found both instructive and entertain- 

 ing to all. 



There are many kinds of sport, but in this book we 

 have to do but with two classes, the angler and the hunter.
