I have just returned from Wyoming, 

 While there I went hunting. One day we 

 tracked a bunch of deer. When we got a 

 shot at them, they scattered and some ran 

 right toward us. Two passed within 50 

 yards, a doe in the lead and a buck about 50 

 yards behind. The buck I shot. Later the 

 same day we shot at a bunch of 7. They 

 ran up a hill where we could see them 

 plainly; the does were in the lead with 2 

 bucks in the rear, one behind the other. 



If anyone going hunting in the Big Horn 

 mountains wants a good guide I can tell 

 him of one. He is a good camp cook and 

 a jolly fellow.

GAME IN LUZON. 



The Laguna de Bay, a large lake in 

 Southern Luzon, P. I., is the breeding place 

 and feeding ground of countless ducks, 

 plover, snipe and many kinds of cranes and 

 herons. Except the ducks, all are found 

 there on the shores the year round in great 

 abundance. The plover and snipe are ex- 

 tremely tame, not having been hunted to 

 any extent. 



There are 4 varieties of duck ; the most 

 abundant being a small black and gray bird 

 the size of the American teal. They are 

 tame and unsuspicious. The larger ducks 

 are wild and prefer the outer reefs and 

 rough water. These ducks remain from 

 November until March, and go elsewhere 

 during the rainy months, I have not a 

 sufficient knowledge of ornithology to name 

 these different varieties. 



Last March, while running a telephone 

 line through some rice country, I was for- 

 tunate enough to see a pheasant feeding in 

 a rice field. Have not seen any since, 

 though I am still on the lookout. There 

 are numerous woodcock in the valleys and 

 along wooded streams ; I have scared up as 

 many as 50 in a morning's work. This 

 part of the island is well stocked with 

 feathered game.

I received the Harrington & Richardson 

 revolver and am well pleased with it. Also 

 the book, "Hunting in the Great West," 

 which is extremely interesting.

I received the Syracuse gun O. K. and 

 like it very well. It is a strong shooting 

 gun and better than I expected in every 

 way. W. F. Chambers, Redfield, S. D.
