DOGS FOR BIO GAME. 



CALDWELL, Kansas, Aug. 11. — Editor Forest and 

 Stream: Being a complete cripple from a recent attack 

 of articular rheumatism, 1 take great pleasure in reading 

 your paper from end to end, including every advertisement 

 in it. Your republication of ''Leatherhead's'' article on 

 what he thought would make the dog for big game afforded 

 me much amusement. It showed me very plainly that he 

 was not a practical sportsman after big game, such as we 

 have in the great West. I years ago advocated through the 

 Forest aud Stream what I and every old hunter knows to 

 be a fact, that there are but two breeds of dogs in the world 

 that can and will cat ch and kill a coyote, a gray wolf or a 

 black wolf. These two breeds are. the English greyhound 

 and the Scotch deerhound. A great many greyhounds are 

 too timid to fight and stay to the death, but when they are 

 bred and worked right they are the gatnest dogs on earth. 

 A Scotch deerhound bred from tried and broken stock never 

 flinches in the hottest flght, It takes a dog of extraordinary 

 speed and staying powers to catch a gray wolf before the 

 fight begins. The moment you breed any other blood into 

 these two breeds you loose speed and your dogs can't catch 

 their game; and unless thev can first catch it they certainly 

 cau't kill it; and hence have no use for their bulldog or 

 boarhound cross. I have eight dogs in my hunting pack for 

 this fall (rheumatism being willing); five of them have never 

 seen any game. I have a bet now standing that they kill the 

 first gray wolf thev see. Four of them are greyhounds and 

 four deerhounds. The best dog in my pack and the best one 

 I ever saw is as fine a greyhound as ever lived. He is extra 

 fast and dead game, always goes to the game first, and 

 amuses it until the rest of his companions get in. 



Mr. Victor M. Haldeman in his article in your issue of 

 Aug. 1 is right in his inference as to my selling the pack of 

 dogs to the Sun River Range Association of Montana. I 

 sold them seven dogs and one bitch, and hired a huntsman 

 to them to work the dogs on the cattle range for six months 

 after coyotes and gray wolves. Although none of these dogs 

 had ever seen a gray wolf, I guaranteed them to kill the 

 first one they saw. I hail seen them kill coyotes, and the 

 w ay they did that work satisfied me that they would kill 

 any animal they could handle. The first wolf they wan t ed 

 these dogs to kill on their arrival was one that had killed 

 cattle attd sheep in one locality for four years. Mi-. I. W. 

 Porter, the huntsman, wrote me that he was afraid of his 

 job, as the people told him the wolf was much larger than 

 any dog he had, and it was only fun for him to kill two or 

 three cur dogs at once, The second day the wolf came to 

 the corral early in the morning and killed four sheep; and 

 after daybreak Mr. Porter with five dogs gave chase, two of 

 them only ten-months-old puppies. The wolf was wily and 

 cunning, dodgma' into brush aud behind rocks so that he 

 was not caugiit short of ten miles work, and then the fierc- 

 est fight ever witnessed was fought and the wolf killed. He 

 was estimated to weigh over 100 lbs. One of the dogs weighs 

 82 lbs., and this wolf was much larger every way. 



The next letter received from Mr. Porter he stated that 

 they were doing valiant service for the cattle associa- 

 tion ; that he had that day got on to a band of fifteen gray 

 wolves and killed twelve of them with only six dogs, includ- 

 ing the two eleven-months old puppies; but that in this light 

 some of the doas were badly used up. He also stated that 

 he was told that these gray wolves often went in bands of 

 fifty. I answered him that whenever he got on to a band of 

 that sort I would bet on the wolves. The cattlemen on the 

 Cherokee Strip are offering 820 bounty for every wolf killed. 

 Iu many parts they have, become so destructive of cattle, not 

 calves, "but three 'and four-year-old steers, that cattlemen 

 have been compelled to leave their ranges and drive closer 

 to settlements. This has happened within twenty miles of 

 here, and as soon as it gets cool enough to run dogs I expect 

 to have some genuine sport, and should be much pleased to 

 show Mr. Haldeman, and as many more Eastern dog lovers 

 as may choose to come, what are the best breeds of dogs for 

 the. killing of big game. We have plenty of deer, wildcats, 

 turkeys, chickens and quail nearby.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.— The eighth marksman's badge match 

 was shot at Creedmoor on Saturday, Aug. 13. The weather was 

 cool and pleasant, and a light northerly breeze made the condi- 

 tions very favorable for shooting; the scores made were very good. 

 The attendance was large, and following are the scores of 43 and 

 over, those marked * being the winners. The gold marksman's 

 badge was again won by a new man, which makes eight who have 

 a mortgage on it, and causes a little rivalry as to who will be the 



finalWmner: 200yds. 500yds. Total.
