TWENTY YEARS IN THE ROCKIES. 293 



After taking out his entrails and cutting him up I 

 found two bullets from Cal's rifle in his carcass. Cal had 

 made a lucky shot through the timber and had killed a cow. 

 We now had all the meat we could haul. After a hard 

 evening's work we got to camp about nine o'clock, tired 

 out. Our hunt was now over. The busy life of the world 

 again called us to resume its activities. Therefore early on 

 the next morning we packed up the belongings of our camp 

 and started for Buffalo. Our teams were loaded to their 

 full capacity. Upon our arrival at our home we were wel- 

 comed by a host of friends whom we loaded down with elk 

 and deer meat. The next morning we parted as hunters 

 until September, 1892, when we all agreed to meet and join 

 in the excitements and the pleasures of the chase again.
