Always Alert ...... Frontispiece 



FACING PAGE 



No matter how carefully you may hunt, a deer often 

 keeps a little gulch handy into which one jump makes 

 him safe . . . . . . . .22 



In trying to catch deer at water, the water is generally 

 the last place you should inspect. They are more 

 likely to be watching from high ground. These deer 

 are several times too large. See Preface to illustrated 

 edition ........ 34 



" Didn't see a deer all day." Showing the power of a 

 deer's nose. Man is much too large. This can 

 happen with man half a mile away. See Preface to 

 illustrated edition ...... 40 



" Has a deer a sixth sense ?" If you hunt much, you 

 will ask yourself that question many times ; for this 

 can happen with the wind blowing from the deer to 

 you, and the sound of your feet deadened by snow . 48 



You cannot be afield too early. That big buck is already 

 on his way to lie down for the day, where you would 

 probably never find him. Small as he is, this deer 

 is still much too large. See Preface to illustrated 

 edition . . . . . . . .52 



This man is going too fast to see well, so that the deer 

 has his advantage, of being at rest while the other 

 party is moving, greatly increased ... 60
