DEER HUNTING IN FLORIDA. 



Six years ago Anderson Smith and I 

 planned a 10 days' trip along the Western 

 edge of Kissiminee river valley, a section 

 abounding in deer, turkeys and bear. We se- 

 lected the week after Christmas as best 

 suited to our absence from business, and 

 did not neglect to take along old Bob, the 

 darkey, who knew so well how to "bake de 

 hoecake brown" and wake us up to drink 

 the 4 o'clock coffee. My companions were 

 tenderfeet of the purest strain and I soon 

 realized that the burden of supplying our 

 camp with venison would fall on me. One 

 day's drive took us to the game and we 

 found it fairly plentiful, but the deer were 

 on the run, and too far ahead of us. Old 

 Cuff, my faithful big, white, slow trail dog, 

 well and truly performed his duty, but the 

 first night found us jaded and without 

 venison. Deer are hunted here with slow 

 trail dogs, that is, trained to trail the deer 

 without barking and never getting more 

 than 40 yards from the hunter. The woods 

 are generally open and well adapted to rifle 

 shooting. The deer lie in low cover, such 

 as palmetto, ganberry bushes, etc. 



The second day we trailed 5 beautifuldoes, 

 but they jumped too far for my 38-40. This 

 was Smith's first shot, and he emptied his 

 16 shooter in beautiful style, but the bullets 

 all seemed to take no effect on a spot of 

 ground about 40 yards in front of him. 



Two days were gone and no deer were 

 shot. The next day I was riding into 

 camp, and when within a short distance 3 

 does jumped within 75 yards of me. I 

 stopped them all before they were out of 

 range of my faithful old rifle. 



The following night we camped on a 

 beautiful lake, surrounded by an ideal game 

 country. After supper I cut a pine pole, 

 nailed it between 2 trees and swung up 5 

 deer, 2 young bucks having been added to 

 the list during the day. Bob was present, 

 assisting in the killing of the 2 bucks, and 

 could point out his bullet holes in each one, 

 although he could not hit a barrel standing 

 40 yards away.
