beside his goals. It was a raw day with an icy wind when we reached the ridge this morning. The first drive for roelink in a ram when we had seen 12 deer was a failure and we got no shots except at a fox. The report just light wafuti out from above us & the beaters saw them running over the hills toward the spot where we had killed the big one the previous Saturday. It was a long hard pull over tree against the knife like wind and after drawing me name unsuccessfully Harry went along the bottom of the valley while I paralleled him on the summit of the ridge. Three bucks jumped out from a ravine in front of me two going down toward Harry & the 3rd stopping behind a thick bush. It was a great luck if it was so great a temptation to present, I fired luckly bullet went to pieces in the brush & never reached the buck. Hearing my shot Harry looked up just in time to see the buck go over the tree. He think he could head out off & ran around the base of the spur just in time to intercept three rapids while heads were running down its ravine. Harry stopped behind a rock & let a cow or calf pass him within a few yds
