 somewhat difficult of access. Game is by no 

 means so plentiful now as it was when the

 game at the present time. But after all, is 

 that an objection? Does it not put a keen 

 edge on the sportsman's desire ? Those hunt- 

 ing incidents which have given me the greatest 

 trouble and exercised my skill the most are 

 the ones I recall with greatest pleasure.
