He took me out alone for the afternoon, and, besides the 

 tame buffalo, he showed me one elk and over twenty deer. 

 We were only after the wild boar, which have flourished 

 wonderfully. Just at dusk we saw a three-year-old boar 

 making his way toward an old deserted orchard; and 

 creeping up, I shot him as he munched apples under one 

 of the trees.
