Very brief research he was captain of a USMC shooting team, and also some correspondence with Aldo Leopold about deer population control in Idaho I believe. L.W.T. Waller was an Asst. Director of some department there. Page 7 & pages 11-12 http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin...&isize=text Last edited by GrandView; 02/17/13 10:34 PM.

You might have that copy, Michael. http://www.cornellpubs.com/free-files/american-rifleman-1935.pdf Last edited by GrandView; 02/17/13 11:49 PM.
