on to the lake to draw the coyotes. 

 There was a large knoll on the shore 

 of the lake and I had the cow placed 

 about sixty yards distant from this 

 knoll. 



I used to approach from Ijehind tho 

 knoll, climb to the top and look 

 cautiously over and frequently a 

 coyote and several Ravens would be 

 feeding together at the carcass. 1 

 could easily peer over the top of the 

 knoll and shoot a coyote before it 

 saw me and killed several in this man- 

 ner, but the Ravens were too keen 

 sighted for me. I tried carefully and 

 repeatedly for a shot at them but the 

 instant I raised my eyes high enough 

 to see over the knoll they were on 

 the wing and I never succeeded in 

 getting a shot though it is compara 

 tively easy to approach a Raven in the 

 open.

AN AIRPLANE TRIP 



Last year 1 took an airplane trip to 

 Lee County where a forest fire was 

 raging, causing great loss of property 

 and suffering, and saw for myself the 

 burned bodies of six wild Turkey 

 and four Quail nests that had been 

 destroyed in a small area of the 

 burned country. A general rain fell 

 Saturday night which I hope stopped 

 the fire; Saturday's paper estimated 

 the burned area at about twenty 

 square miles at that time. The loss 

 of wild life was undoubtedly great, in 

 a territory where the turkey, deer and 

 bear are most common. — Logan 1.
