Whoever shoots deer in Hie mouths of June, July '""'

Game may be found to Mgriea! a supply in the vicinity of

 directly in front of tneoamp, thai camein from sotofe quarter 

 not known to us. 



WTiile I agree with Mr. Mat her. that hounding deer into a 

 lake, and then dispatching them with a bludgeon, m shoot- 

 ing them from a boat, i- not the moftl sportsmanlike method 

 of capturing thpm, yet at that season ii is about the only 

 wav thev can lie had. Later, after the snoW has covered 

 the ground, deer ma\ of course be had by stalking; but 

 most camps would see little venison if their capture de- 

 pended on that manner of hunting. Prevent jack or night 

 hunting in June and July, and August if you like (although 

 not so many are taken in that way during that month), and 

 allow the- use of dogs the rest of the season. 



On no account would I favor their slaughter in the way 

 i: It commonly done, by killing them while close at hand in

Last year M; ssrs. Dornburg & Butler erected a spacious 

 hotel oil one ,,f the mo-t prominent point.- on the lake, near 

 the village, which will accommodate two hundred guests.

A bear was killed in sight of the hotel thusly: Two men

 again took to the water, when, thev gol Into the boat and 

 fired the stones until he •kerflumniuxed." 



A guide iu search of lost dogs near by encountered a bear 

 and shot iii m. when another showed himself, which he also 

 killed. A third appeared, which was dispatched, when the 

 man discovered that, he had but two cartridges left, and 

 fearing that more might be mousing around there, decamped
