Barton's enthusiastic aggregation of deer 

 hunters, consisting of Harry Anderson, B. 

 Swazie, W. House, A. Parmenter, E. An- 

 derson, J. Blume, W. Hildreth, C. Mc- 

 Ardle, and H. Land have returned from 

 the Black river district, Muskoka, where 

 they had good sport for 3 weeks. They 

 brought home with them 10 deer which 

 were distributed among their friends. — 

 Spectator, Hamilton, Ont. 



Roast the game hogs brown. It is the 

 only salvation for our birds, fish and game.

Here are some of my experiences in the 

 matter of heart shots. In the past few 

 years I have shot one doe through the 

 heart, killed at once; one doe through 

 heart, ran 60 feet; one doe through back 

 bone, killed instantly; one buck through 

 head, killed instantly; one buck through 

 heart, ran 10 rods. All were shot with a 

 .38-40. I think a running deer if shot in the 

 heart will continue to run, while one stand- 

 ing will drop. It is more a question of how 

 far the muscles acted upon by reflex energy 

 from the spinal cord, will carry the animal, 

 than which particular shot is most suddenly 

 fatal.

Don't think for a moment that Razor 

 back Webber can harm the good work you 

 are doing for game protection. I am sorry 

 to learn that such a porker gets his living 

 out of the government. 



Keep a sharp eye on Charles Bennett, of 

 Raquette lake, next season. He deserves
