What reading level is The Sportsmans Guide to the Northern Lakes With Hints On Fishing Hunting An book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Deer take advantage of the darkness to seek the water, and, as the boat comes upon them unawares, the light suddenly shines in their faces, which they curiously watch and wonder at, not being able to see the boat and the enemy. By this means the hunters are enabled to get a good view of the deer, and when one is seen in this manner he generally falls before the unerring aim of the shot-gun, which is the favorite weapon for this peculiar sport.
Another favorite mode, as practiced by city hunters... under the tutorship of the old hunters and guides, is to shoot from stagings erected in trees near deer salt-licks. An old rotten log in the near vicinity of a deer trail is chosen for the purpose, and kept well salted, and a sort of ladder is made in a convenient tree and at a distance of between thirty and forty feet a narrow seat is con- structed. About sundown the hunter takes his position in the tree and silently awaits the approach of the deer, on their way to the lake. They always stop to lick the salt from the log, when the hunter, who patiently waits through the long hours of the night, is rewarded with a shot, and if he be at all proficient he is almost sure of one or more deer.
