begun to hunt these with regular old- 
fashioned treeing-dogs. They report 
great sport. It is no mean feat to locate 
in the crest of a yellow pine one of these 
fine squirrels, and to bring him down re- 
quires good aim and a very hard-hitting 
gun. A fox-squirrel will often climb to 
the topmost spindle of a big pine, and 
there hang motionless “for the longest.” 
A .22 long with a good eye behind it is 
the language that he hears best at that 
height. 
I think you had better bring a rifle of 
some kind down with you. Some of the 
boys down the road have been going after 
deer late in the evening, when they come 
out in the open hollows, and several large 
bucks have been killed by rifle at long 
range. 
HUNTING THE BIG 
BROWN BEAR 
{Continued from page 107) 
We had not been seated long before 
Nick said in excited tones, "I see two 
bears !” The spell of the chase was on 
again. We knew that the old fellow we 
had been following all morning had 
passed down the canyon and joined his 
mate on the open flats below. I had now 
become used to Nick’s reserve and calm- 
ness when game was within sight and I 
waited more patiently for him to roll 
the customary cigarette. We watched 
the two objects for a few minutes to see 
what they would do. Then after noting 
'^he exact spot from where I intended to 
:Shoot, we started off down the rocks and 
soon entered a sloping gulch well hidden 
from the game. 
Our object was to pass down a little 
ravine and then climb its left bank to 
see if our quarry was near enough to 
ishoot. As we peeped over the grassy 
ridge, there they were unconscious of 
bur presence, a light gray bear and a big 
brown one. I might have shot from 
•this point but decided to get closer, so 
we went back into the ravine, crept low, 
and emerging again had another look. 
“Better get a little closer yet,” Nick sug- 
gested, so I crawled ahead on all fours 
to a grassy clump of sod and rested the 
gun over this projection. The big bear 
was lying down. I sighted carefully, let 
go and heard the bullet strike its mark. 
He rose slowly to his feet, staggered 
and started to run. I snapped on an 
empty cartridge as Nick fired. Whether 
his shot struck him or not I do not 
know. All I remember is that the guide 
said excitedly, “Shoot the big fellow 
again. He is getting away!” I fired 
:once more and the shot knocked him 
down and he rolled over wjth all four 
feet pointed skyward. 
By this time the female had made up 
her mind to escape. She paused just a 
'moment and looked in our direction and 
I gave her a shot in the ribs. This 
tumbled her over but she revived in a 
moment and was off. Another shot at 
250 yards broke her hind leg but it did 
not seem to retard her speed very much. 
My next shot, which was over three hun- 
dred yards, broke her front leg and 
bowled her completely over. She was
