BOY AND GUIDE. 



Lowell, Me., Jan. 1st. 



THE first game I ever shot was a partridge. I found 

 i he log that he drummed on. it was a large pine 

 that had been felled for lumber, but for some defect iss! 

 - ii moved. The stump was quite tall, and when 



.1 wanted to see the partridge drum T would get the stump 

 between me and the bird, and creep up the stump. My 

 father had an old flint-lock gun, and I kept at him for it 

 until finally he let me have it. I shouldered it and 

 started into the woods for the old drummer. I got that 

 ' range and went up to it as though my life was 

 depending, Iran the muzzle over the top very slowly, 

 took sight and tired. I killed niy bird and took it home-, 

 the proudest boy ever seen. I kept up this practice wl ien- 

 ever father would let me go. Deer were plenty, aird aftor 

 a while 1 tried for one of them. I found an old "cut- 

 down" about one mile back in the woods where they used 

 to come to feed. The fire had burned it over, and the 

 young sprouts and weeds made good food for them. Tl

 the hunting season. At one t 



a party from Rhode Island ; I took them to the Schood 

 Lakes for the purpose of hunting deer with dogs. There 

 were nine of us all told. Deer were plenty, the lakes 

 were plenty, and high winds were plenty, too. The most 

 of the deer we started would go to some lake where there 

 was no one to watch, or some part of the lake where we 

 could not get nor hear the dog. When I hunt with dogs 

 I don't find it as I have heard some writer say, that any 

 boy that could row a boat or shoot a gun could get deer 

 by the ton. I find that if a dog starts a deer near one 

 lake, if there is another lake three or four miles distant, 

 he is most likely to go there. It requires skill, practice, 

 and good judgment to be successful with dogs and canoes, 

 but with the windy weather we had and the many lakes 

 we managed to get four. When the party were intending 

 to start for home the wind blew a gale and we had seve- 

 ral lakes to cross. They waited two days for the wind to 

 die down, but there was no let up night or day, so I sent 

 one man to show them the way by laud. The rest of the 

 guides stopped with me to take out the deer, etc., as soon 

 as the wind would allow. As soon as they had gone, we 

 guides took our guns and started out to see what we 

 could get on a still hunt. I took a cruise off, and on my 

 way back I was ascending a high hill, when nearly to the

I saw him hobble off, I went up and saw that he bled 

 quite freely, but he had started with the wind and being 

 shot in the hind parts I thought the safest way for me 

 was to go to camp and get a dog; I did so. It was near! v 

 sunset and the wind still a whirling and twisting the 

 trees as though it meant to take them all out by the 

 roots. When I got back to camp I found one of the 

 guides there. We each of us took a dog and led them 

 till we got where I fired at the deer. I let on 

 kept the other on the chain to lead us on the trail, but 

 we soon heard the one we let loose at bay, not thirty 

 yards distant. We let the other loose and ran to see the 

 fun ; but that buck would fight a good battle. 1 had to 

 shoot him down. He was very large and fat; much larger 

 than any one we had. I wanted to -'send him whole 

 as possible, so I only opened just enough to get out his 

 entrails. We bent down a small tree and hung him up 

 for the night. The next morning we slung him" to a pole 

 and lugged him a mile through the rough woods to the 

 lake. I thought he weighed a ton before we got there.
