RECREATION. 



my destination, Colonia Juarez, by 1 130 in 

 the afternoon. There I met Mr. A. Ivins, 

 a thorough sportsman and a reader and ad- 

 mirer of Recreation, who took me out 

 for a hunt after mule deer. Mr. Ivins 

 secured a large doe and broke the leg of a 

 buck. We took the trail of the buck and 

 followed him all the forenoon, Mr. Ivins 

 finally securing him after a warm day's 

 work. 



The mountains around Colonia Juarez are 

 steep, and the trails are extremely narrow 

 and rough, making it hard to follow a deer 

 even wnen he is wounded. Mountain lions 

 abound, also bears. Back of Dry valley 

 there are plenty of whitetail deer, but they 



are small, weighing only about 60 pounds. 

 I secured 3 good heads, 2 bucks and a doe. 



When my time was rapidly drawing to a 

 close, I made tracks for Casas Grandes, 

 leaving there Saturday morning for Juarez. 

 While getting off the train with my deer 

 heads, I met a genuine game hog. He 

 stepped up to me and asked me if that was 

 all the game I had. On my saying yes, he 

 said that the year previous he, together 

 with 6 others of his kind, had killed 213 

 antelopes! He an American, too! 



I am now having my heads mounted, 

 and I hope to some day take another trip 

 in that country when I have more 

 leisure.
