GRANDSON of George Ott, one of the original buffalo hunters of Central Pennsylvania and himself slayer of many hundreds of bison on the plains of the Great West, Daniel Ott of Selin's Grove, Snyder County, is one of the historically noteworthy personages of the Keystone State. In company with Hon. George W. Wagenseller, editor of the Middleburg Post, and J. Herbert Walker, associate editor of the Lewisburg Journal, the writer recently visited the venerable nimrod at his cozv home on the outskirts DANIEL OTT, Born May 27, 1820, A Pennsylvanian Who Has Killed Many Buffaloes in The West. of the quaint old town of Selin's Grove. Nimble and mentally alert, despite his 95 years, the old hunter, who is still a handsome man and has the aquiline nose and tight drawn lips which are usually signs of character, greeted his guests cordially, and unfolded to them the marvelous story of his life. Frequently during the narrative he told jokes, which convulsed his hearers, and his fine amber colored eyes, as clear as those of the poet Keats, were alive with keenness and humor. Daniel Ott was born in Selin's Grove on May 27, 1820, being the son of Daniel Ott, Sr., (1784-1852) and grandson of George Ott, (17451814), one of the original pioneers on the Karoondinha, now known as Penn's Creek. George Ott, who was a native of Chester County, took up 400 acres of wild land in what is now Snyder County in 1796, when that region still abounded with wild beasts and roving Indians. In Daniel Ott's own words let him describe his thrilling life's pilgrimage. "I was born in the house where I now reside, and am of Dutch and English ancestry. My father and grandfather, the pioneers, were not hunters in the modern meaning of the word, as the game came up to their doors...

Every fall close to one million hunters enter Pennsylvania's forests and mountains in quest of the white-tailed deer. Some are seeking sport and companionship; others are stocking their larders for winter; many are conservationists who regard hunting as the most humane way of reducing overpopulated deer herds. They all face the increasing activism of animal rights advocates who are opposed to hunting in principle and who frequently picket and harass hunters. This controversial subject is explored in depth by Mike Sajna, the outdoors columnist for Pittsburgh Magazine and a twenty-year veteran of Pennsylvania's "pumpkin army," the orange-clad throng that invades the woods every season. To explain the ethos and traditions of hunting he takes the reader to a typical deer camp in Warren County, in the rugged terrain of the Allegheny High Plateau. Starting with the trek north from their homes around Pittsburgh, he captures the sights and sounds, thoughts and feelings of three generations of hunters. With humor, affection, and insight he recounts the hunting lore, the camaraderie, the physical testing that make deer camp a unique experience.

The story of deer management in Pennsylvania is as complex as it is controversial. From the disappearance of deer in Pennsylvania forests at the beginning of the twentieth century to the population explosion that occurred in the latter half of the century, the balance between herd size and a healthy forest has long been a difficult one. In Deer Wars, Bob Frye examines this controversy and the effect that herd management has had on all of the citizens of Pennsylvania; farmers managing deer invasions and property rights, hunters dealing with changing herd densities and ever-complex restrictions, state agencies juggling the rights of hunters with the needs of commercial interests, all with stakes in the success and health of the deer herd. Now with deer harvests decreasing, Chronic Wasting Disease becoming a potential threat, and forests showing serious signs of trouble, the need for compromise from all of the players is essential, but is it possible? This well-researched and engrossing book explores that question.
