A DEER HUNT IN SOUTH WBST VIRGINIA. 



OCTOBER 18 found us on our way to the mountains. A 

 half day's ride from "Pearisburg, Va.," brought us to 

 Mr. Wickline's residence — our favorite camping place — with 

 about 6 days rations, each with a good muzzle loading double 

 gun and a pack of niue hounds, consi.sting of some as good 

 homids as ever trailed a deer. 



On our way and within four miles of camp our dogs started 

 two deer. We managed to get all the dogs off but two which 

 followed on out of hearing Dogs struck another trail within 

 Imlf mile of camp. We blew the horn and they all came in 

 aliout sun down. We did not wi.sh to let dogs out as we had 

 a heavy load of baggage and could not well get to the 

 stands. 



It was late in the day when we reached Mr. Wickline'a, 

 However we procm-ed a room, made our fire, got supper, and 

 prepared our gtms for the morrow's hunt. 



October 16. — After a good night's sleep in good beds, we 

 arose at daybreak.ate breakfast, went out about one mile from 

 camp and started a deer. As we had but three slanders the 

 deer passed through a stand unoccupied and made his way 

 to parts too far off for us. M, 3 o'cloc:k the dogs hud not re- 

 turned and I star'cd on my way to camp for dinner. As I ad- 

 vanced through a thicket of red bnish- -keeping aclose watch 

 for a deer, wild cat, or other animal that might chance to be 

 lurking thereabouts — 1 heard a noise in the brush directly 

 beliind me. On turning my head I observed something ap- 

 ])roa<:hing cautiously through the buslies. 



I tm-ned and brought my gtm to rather a presenting pos- 

 ition tmtil I could tell what kind of an anim.al was there be- 

 fore me. Presently it worked its way out in plain view and 

 there stood — not more than 75 yards distant — one of the finest 

 does I ever saw. I raised my gtm, took good aim just behind 

 the shoulder and tired At the crack of the gun it sprang off 

 down through the bushes, giving its tail a flap or two as it 

 went, my thoughts were, 'Have I mi.ssed?" I went to where 

 it was standing, neither blood nor hair could be found and had 

 it not have been for the deliberate aim I should have called 

 it a clear mi.ss. 



To investigate the matter more closely I went to camp, 

 which was about two miles distant, and brought a dog, took 

 him to the place where the deer wa.s .standing when I shot. 

 He struck the trail and after con.siderable do»Iging about 

 through the bushes he stopped and ceased to give tongue. I 

 went up and there lay my deer dead enough. 



One shot had entered near the heart, one in the side, one in 

 the breast and another glanced and cut through the skin on 

 the head. Had ten large buckshot in a 12-gauge, 33-ni.. 

 double gun, vrith 3A drs. of powder 



After taking out its entrails I tied a strap aroimd its fore 

 and hind legs, t hrew it over my shoulder, shot pouch fashion 

 and carried it aliout one mile — not an easy task I assure you ; 

 think it would have weighed l.^Opoimds — I was then in hear- 

 ing of camp, blew my horn and .soon one of our party came 

 to my assistance. We reached camp with om' deer about 

 dark. 



The rest of the hoys had all come in from their stands with- 

 out killing anything. 



(Wy6cr 20. — Only one deer passed through my stand to- 

 da}^, and that pitssed through before I reached "the stand. 

 Two packs of hounds have been running very briskly to- 

 day. Fourteen fresh dogs were bi-oiight in by several parties 

 to-night. A great manj- sliots lo-day, but no deer killed. 



Ot*)ACT' 21. ^Oiie deer passed through my stand to-day; il 

 was in sight, but aliout 300 yards off. " There being so many 

 trees in the way. I did not shoot. As one of our party 

 was passing a fallen tree top a small deer jumped out and he 

 killed it. I'wo deer were (Tippled to-day, but made good 

 their escape. I plainly heard one bleat a,s one of our slanders 

 fii-ed his mountahi gim. He said he knocked it down, and was 

 going' to stielc it, when it jumped up and — to use his expres- 

 sion -" went Ihrough the bush like a streak;" the dogs came 

 and followed on, and it is not known whether they caught it 

 or not. 



Ortuhi^r 33. — A great deal of shooting done" to-day, and 

 only one deer killed. The deer killed Tuesday, 19th, spoiled. 

 We hung it up without salting, thinking the weather cool 

 enough to kee|i it. The skin T sold for *1 at camp. 



Od/ibcr 3;.i.--We bad ii short drive this morning before 

 leaving eaiu]! for home. We bad up tlu-ee deer at one time. 

 One was shot through with a rifle, and a party with their pack 

 were after him. On reaching home, 1 louiid the dogs that 

 had rim a deer off on our first day's hunt. They ran it to 

 the river, about fifteen mile.'i from where il had been started. 

 Some one on the river killed the deer, and the dogs came 

 home. Our friend Mr. Wickline furnished us a room and 

 good beds, and, as we fell short of horse feed, he also lot us 

 have three pecks of corn .and some fodder, and only charged 

 us 50c. each for a staj^ of nearly five days. Moreover, llrs. 

 Wickline cooked our venison for us in tlie most substautial 

 manner wnthout any e.xtra charge. Mr. Wickline and his 

 family used ever.y exertion in their power to make the Sports- 

 man's stay a plea.sant one, and how well they succeeded I can 

 attest by saying that every one who goes there once comes 

 awap highly pleased, with the intention of returning next 

 season. 



The water is freestone, and so pure every drop sparkles 

 like so many diamonds. I knoM' of no better place for dys- 

 peptics who prefer hunting a.s a recreative medicine, and 

 who do not care to visit more expensive places. 



I might add, good trout fishing niaj- lie had wthiu half a 

 mile of camp. New River, which flows within tliree-quar- 

 ters of a mile of om- camp, will soon bo noted for its black 

 bass fishing. The rivers have been stocked, and they seem 

 to be multiplying very rapidly. 



None of the farmers here object to any one hunting or fish- 

 ing on their lands. " T. T. P.
