RECREATION.

A TOUGHSILVERTIP. 



A friend and I took a trip last fall to Lit- 

 tle Black Thunder basin, where deer, ante- 

 lope, bear and small game are plentiful. 

 We camped for the first night on Mule 

 creek, and after a hasty meal, went to a 

 small patch of timber near to try to get 

 a grouse for breakfast. We jumped 4 

 mountain grouse and got them all with a 

 22 Stevens rifle. We had our 30's with us, 

 that we might be ready for larger game if 

 the chance came. While sitting talking at 

 a spring 2 black tailed bucks came within 

 range. I took steady aim and fired, think- 

 ing I could kill both of them with one shot, 

 but I never touched either. Then my part- 

 ner's gun spoke and one fell dead. On in- 

 vestigation I found my sight was at the 

 400 yard notch. We dressed our game and, 

 leaving it hanging in a small sapling to 

 cool, returned to camp. 



We were up at 4 o'clock in the morning, 

 and Will went after the deer while I got 

 breakfast. I saw him go into the grove, 

 and a minute later there was a racket like 

 the charge of a band of Indians. The shoot- 

 ing had hardly stopped when Will's saddle 

 horse came out of the woods at a mile a 

 minute gait, snorting at every jump. I 

 knew something was wrong, and, heading 

 off the horse, I started back on him to see 

 what the matter was. I found my partner 

 standing with one foot on the largest silver- 

 tip bear I ever saw. The bear had eaten 

 half of our deer, and to get even we took 

 84^ pounds of oil out of him. When we 

 skinned him we counted 9 bullet holes in his 

 pelt. 



The next day we went on and arrived at 

 our hunting ground about noon. That af- 

 ternoon we saw an antelope about 700 

 yards away. Will wanted to try my new 

 gun, so I got the field glasses to see where 

 the bullet struck. The buck gave one 

 mighty bound and fell dead. We stepped 

 the distance and found it was just 803 

 paces. We stayed 4 days and got 3 ante- 

 lope, 3 deer, a bear and some small game.
