HERE IS ONE OF WEBBER'S FRIENDS. 



I have been keeping cases on your 

 Recreation for a year or more, and can 

 say with good grace, that you make me 

 tired, everlastingly howling about your 

 game hogs, as you call them. You can call 

 me a game hog or any other kind of a hog, 

 if you like, but when I go hunting I go 

 for meat, and when I rig up a pack-outfit to 

 go into the mountains I go for what there 

 is in it. I say kill all you can, and save the 

 meat, and I practice what I preach and 

 don't forget it, and always feel as if I 

 had lost something if one elk or deer gets 

 away. We consider the man that gets the 

 most game here the most able sportsman. 

 The men that are always howling are the 

 men that couldn't kill an elk if they had it 

 corralled for them. We have them kind of 

 kickers here. I don't expect you to publish 

 this as this is a roast prepared expressly 

 for yourself and your chronic kickers. So 

 break loose somewhere else. Now you 

 know how I feel. 



E. A. Keller, Cameron, Mont. 



There is no use of my calling you a hog, 

 Ed. Everyone will do that who reads your 

 letter; at least all but Webber and one 

 or two more of his breed. — Ed. 



Wanted : Vols, i and 2 of Recrea- 

 tion, for which a liberal price will be paid. 

 Fred "E. Whipple, Black River, N. Y. 



To Exchange : A Stevens expert's

For Sale: -Two large bull elk, mounted 

 complete. One of these has an extra large 

 pair of antlers. Horns measure as follows: 

 Circumference above burr, 13 inches; ag- 

 gregate of both beams and prongs, 23^ 

 feet; height of animal at shoulder, 14 hands;

 of main beams and prongs on the other 

 animal, 22 feet. For full particulars, photo- 

 graphs, etc., address J. G. Warner, 44 

 Broadway, New York City. 



Replying to your letter: The report that 

 Mr. Stone and I caught 168 fish in one day 

 is correct. They were caught in Rutland. 

 Mass., through the ice, and we used but 

 12 tackle. 



R. W. Fiske. 



ANSWER.

 your bristles. Ed.
