Place. Hawk - shot at this
one as it stood facing me &
it fell down dead at the
mouth of the cave & stole Mar.
It was too dark to send
for this one the sun banis
ed. Next morning we found
it in the cave dead having
been shot thru the wall,
I had an old wound in the
shoulder & this is why it
had taken refuge in the cave.
On starting up I found
large felers ready for bait
with but 2 well formed sharp
teeth. The birds are now
I should say the first &
second weeks in May as
evidenced by these embryos.
Today was my best accords
Membership. I shot 2
gorals or 3 or cys, one rather
single whether in 2 shots
& a third gorol I shot
from above Checliff hilltop
in with both shots each
which were fatal. Had
only one miss & bagged 3 gorals.
