Neat old find at the bottom of a box
I found this at a bottom of a box from a barn a while back and got around to taking a picture of it, and old Herter's Guide's manual. This has a lot of information that I don't see very often, like eating woodchuck, porcupine, first aid skills, knives, and pretty much everything else you can imagine about being in the woods. Herter's stuff is pretty neat and under rated I have been finding.

My Grandpa used to admire the Herter's operation. I think he had every book the old blowhard ever wrote.
Just kidding. He did have a style all his own and it made for entertaining reading, there is no disputing that. That is a nice find. I am envious.

What a timely find, you might want to scan the woodchuck eating section and post it in this thread! Anyone ever eat woodchuck?

That's a mighty big Woodchuck in that picture. I'll bet he could chuck a ton of wood. If a Woodchuck could chuck wood, that is.

One time a friend of mine shot a wood chuck and was gonna leave it. I told him that a person shouldn't kill stuff they don't plan on eating. We cleaned it and put it in the freezer. Later on in the winter we were fixin to go out hunting and put it on top of a pot bellied stove to boil while we were out. When we came back it was cooked perfectly and tasted great. Later that winter I went to the freezer to find something and behold, there was the ground hog. I had mistakingly cooked a tame rabbit the first time. We cooked the ground hog and it was not good. You could drive nails with it. I am assuming that a wood chuck and a ground hog are the same thing?
Peace,
gordon

Without a doubt, that is a "Model Perfect" book.
Those of you who remember Herters will
understand.

I may have read that book years ago.
My great uncle had a bunch of Herter's catalogs and built himself a
big "surf" type rod from them.
I think the local library may have shelved that book back then.
