30 The Wilderness Hunter 



The fact that the hunter needs the game, both for 

 its meat and for its hide, undoubtedly adds a zest to 

 the pursuit. Among the hunts which I have most 

 enjoyed were those made when I was engaged in get- 

 ting in the winter's stock of meat for the ranch, or 

 was keeping some party of cowboys supplied with 

 game from day to day.
