ADDENDUM 



IN speaking of the trust antelope place in their 

 eyesight as a guard against danger, I do not mean 

 to imply that their noses are not also very acute; 

 it is as important with them as with all other game 

 to prevent their getting the hunter's wind. So with 

 deer; while their eyes are not as sharp as those of 

 big-horn and prong-horn, they are yet quite keen 

 enough to make it necessary for the still-hunter to 

 take every precaution to avoid being seen. 



Although with us antelope display the most rooted 

 objection to entering broken or wooded ground, yet 

 a friend of mine, whose experience in the hunting- 

 field is many times as great as my own, tells me that 

 in certain parts of the country they seem by prefer- 

 ence to go among the steepest and roughest places 

 (of course, in so doing, being obliged to make ver- 

 tical as well as horizontal leaps), and even penetrate 

 into thick woods. Indeed, no other species seems 

 to show such peculiar "freakiness" of character, both 

 individually and locally.
