Don't Pail To cut the throats of dead game 

 and draw the entrails, if you wish to have good 

 meat. 



Don't Blame the Gun. They are seldom at 

 fault; its the man behind. 



Don't Forget That extreme care and quietness 

 are essential when hunting, "stalking!' especially. 



Don't Target Practice On a hunting trip, wait 

 until you break camp or are out of the haunts of 

 game. 



Don't Lug a Revolver On a hunting trip, un- 

 less you are after encumbering yourself needless- 

 ly; a good hunting knife or a field telescope will 

 serve far better. 



Don't Sit On the bare ground, better sit on 

 your hat. 



Don't Lose Your Bearings. When in the woods 

 one can easily get lost or turned around. Read 

 the Campers Manual, for it tells you what to do in 

 such an emergency. Send 10 cents to the author 

 for a copy; you won't rejret it. 100,000 have been 

 sold to sportsmen, all over the world.

To Test a Shot Gun So as to determine its ac- 

 curacy or carrying abilities, chalk a target on a 30 

 inch circle 40 yards away, and note if the 'percent- 

 age of shot entering the circle is as follows: Cyl- 

 inder bore, 40 per cent; modified choke, 50 per 

 cent; full choke, 60 per cent; this is a good aver- 

 age. This is. the gun maker's pattern test, with 

 ordinary or standard loads. By now increasing or 

 decreasing your charges or loads, your distance, 

 size of target, etc. you can determine to a nicety, 

 just how your gun shoots, enabling you to ' 

 correct any existing faults before starting out on a 

 trip.
