FOREWORD 



^ IN THIS volume will be found a series of 



articles which in recent years have appeared 



O , in Forest and Stream. The incidents recounted 



* i took place in widely separated parts of the 



United States and Canada. 



^1 . As time slips by there is a pleasure in 



m \ recalling hunting exploits which have become 



^ relegated to a past that can be lived over 



< again only in memory. Whoever feels the 



^ sportsman's ardor kindle when blood red 



X tales of the hunt are related an ardor which 



the camera enthusiast, who possesses merely 



a platonic love of sport cannot appreciate 



J may discover an excuse for this book. Its 



<(J style may strike one as somewhat informal 



and lacking in literary finish, but it should be 



borne in mind that too much formality is 



likely to take away the charm of camp life.
