RECREATION. 



xliii 



Small game is scarce here. A few squir- 

 rels, an occasional rabbit, and now and 

 then a quail, constitute the whole list. 

 Everybody hunts quails, and many are 

 killed in close season. 



Last Christmas a friend and I arranged 

 for a turkey hunt at a point 15 miles from 

 here, where my friend had been told a few 

 might be found. We reached our destina- 

 tion at nightfall, went early to bed, and 

 woke to find the ground covered with 

 freshly fallen snow. 



By daylight we were in the woods, where 

 I soon struck the track of a big gobbler 

 hot and fresh. My friend presently joined 

 me, and for Y\ of a mile we followed, 

 trailing him at last to cover in a windfall. 

 When he broke, my friend knocked a 

 feather bed out of him with No. 6 shot, and 

 I sent 3 invitations after him with my 38 

 Winchester, but we didn't get him. 



Rabbits made up our bags, I 4, my 

 friend 6.
