ILL US TRA TIONS. 5 



FACING PACK 



over to where he could get a good view of the 

 hillside ........ 206 



Here is a nice close shot. Yet if you don't hold ahead 

 and low down, you will miss. Now is the proper 

 time to pull the trigger, just as the deer starts on the 

 downward curve . . . . . .212 



There are times when speed of fire is your only chance, 



as when a deer is surging through high chaparral . 220 



These chaps are on the track of this deer, and both 

 together when they should have separated and gone 

 along the sides of the hill as soon as they found he had 

 gone down the point. But it was better walking on 

 the ridge ........ 234 



Water gives you an advantage by reducing the area to be 



scanned, but it gives the game precisely the same aid 252 



The constant change in the up-and-down motion of a 

 deer is worse than the forward speed or the numerous 

 twists, but even where you are depending on speed of 

 fire, you must keep cool. These deer are not over 

 one hundred yards away, but they will puzzle the 

 best expert . . . . . . .260 



Here is a chap who threw away a good standing shot by 

 squeezing through that brush to get a rest on that rock. 

 Always shoot off-hand, is a good rule . . .278 



Hard to Approach ....... 290 



My new repeater. Fifteen shots, almost any one of which 

 would have got the game had I had but one shot. 

 Speed of fire is a good servant, but a bad master . 308 



A Good Shot ....... 364
