Sm Jake dem hunt (Cort) and assigned each man to a ridge - mine was the middle one (no.3). I dragged over the East edge well down in the order and worked slowly out the ridge to the north, watching ahead as below for hidden deer. I spotted some in the canyon bottom 100 yards below me and crept up behind a tree to a point where I could sit down and still see the deer to shoot. The buck had seen me by this time and was staring intently. I shot through the grass at his shoulder and cut the top (antler) right off his head. He never moved. Came the inevitable job of hauling him out. The three of us together had a helluva time getting him up to the jeep. He weighed 126 lbs. dressed, had heavy based antlers 2 pts. right, 3 pts. left., and his teeth were worn almost to the gums, meaning he was past his prime. I'd bet he had beautiful antlers a couple of years ago! This was the only big deer that I saw all weekend, though other parties saw a number of them. I saw three half-grown coyotes together on a grassy hillside south end of the ranch and a fine adult coyote the last morning near woodpile. A prairie galcon came over the ranch one Saturday afternoon while Bill H. was getting to fly his box kite. Saw one golden eagle. Dave Eckhard wasn't with us this year. He is in China as a guest of the Government, advising them on setting up an electronics industry.
