Handles right— functions right

October, 1922 
at once, for if \vc made any further kill- 
ings the team would be unable to haul 
the load. Roy and I decided that Vealla 
should keep the moose meat that we had 
worked so hard to bring into camp for 
his own personal use, whereupon Vealla 
smilingly thanked us gratefully, and 
turning to me said: “That mooch, she 
make a plenty corn beef for the summer, 
alright.” 
V'ith Vealla on his way, not to return 
until the fourth day, we were soon 
headed for the outlying ridges, but re- 
turned in the early afternoon, the day 
being a fizzle, with nothing sighted, al- 
though we saw fresh tracks everywhere. 
The next day Frank and I were hunt- 
ing about a mile from camp when a two- 
point buck jumped up about fifty yards 
from us. He did not make the second 
jump before Frank fired. 
I have heard of deer running some 
distance after being shot through the 
heart, but this was the first’ and only 
one that I actually saw do so. This buck 
ran almost 1,000 yards with a bullet hole 
through the small end of his heart. We 
soon had him dressed and strung on a 
pole, and then we headed for home. We 
found that Roy had beaten us in and 
had had no luck. 
As we rolled in that night the dark 
clouds were hanging low, and when we 
awoke in the early morning we found 
the ground covered with a white blanket 
of snow six inches deep. Frank was 
jubilant. This was just what he had 
wished for, and it wasn’t long before we 
hit the timber, with Frank leading. By 
, noon we had hunted two choice spots, 
« and although we came across several 
fresh tracks we sighted no game. 
After eating a dry lunch, Frank led 
us to a bog with a small deadwater to 
one side of it at the edge of a large bar- 
ren. We made our way through the 
j woods as noiselessly as possible to where 
I we could get a good view of the dead- 
I water. Here Frank left us sitting in a 
windfall and he cautiously made his way 
around to the other side of the barren 
to a trail which the game used in coming 
out of the deadwater. We waited anx- 
iously for fully a half an hour before 
anything stirred, then a monstrous moose 
shot out of the timber near where Frank 
had designated the trail to be and started 
across the barren to a narrow point. 
Roy and I raised our rifles, but noticing 
that the moose was headed partly to- 
wards us we dropped our guns, waiting 
for a closer and surer shot. 
Suddenly a shot rang out from Frank’s 
direction and the noble beast stopped 
angrily as he went to his knees for the 
instant, only to regain his footing the 
next second and tear his way towards the 
deadwater, on the edge of which he fell 
headlong a few moments later. 
Personally I was too interested in the 
animal’s actions to shoot, while Roy and 
■■^Frank later confessed that they failed 
to shoot further because they knew the 
one shot had done the work. We ran 
to where the wonderful creature had 
fallen, with his 52-inch spread of antlers, 
and made all possible haste in skinning 
and dressing the animal, as we were 
more than a mile from camp and it was 
Savage hi-power design and sturdy 
shooting qualities built into the 
Savage repeating shotgun. 
Here’s a shotgun that fills the 
bag and smashes the blue rocks 
with the same sureness and pre- 
cision that your Savage hi- 
power rifle knocks over the big 
game. 
Strength and an enduring ac- 
curacy are birthrights of the 
Savage shotgun. Just notice 
that the barrel is made of the 
same high-pressure steel used 
for Savage hi-power rifles — a 
barrel that will retain its original 
accuracy almost indefinitely. 
Notice, too, the Savage ham- 
merless solid breech, solid top, 
and side ejection, with all mov- 
ing parts enclosed. No ugly or 
useless protruding parts — the 
gun has the clean, graceful 
strength of a thoroughbred. 
Swing it up to your shoulder 
as you would at a rising covey; 
you find it comes up with speed 
and precision and just fits. The 
Savage shotgun handles right. 
And you can always depend 
upon the action to function 
smoothly without a hitch. 
A sweeter handling, harder hitting 
shotgun does not exist. Manufactured 
in standard, trap, tournament and 
riot grades. 
Ask at your dealer’s, or write for the 
interesting catalog describing the Sav- 
age repeating shotgun. Savage hi- 
power rifles, .22 rifles, and automatic 
pistols.
