stands that they are unable to procure 
food. The same is true relative to moun- 
tain sheep. 
Elk, too, have felt the hunter's rav- 
ages. It has not been so much the game 
“hog” who has brought about their scar- 
city, but the steady shooting year after 
year. Chaparral is what the Elk feeds 
on mostly, but there are none of these 
animals within miles of many noted 
chaparral districts. The long cold win- 
ters with deep snow and little available 
food have been instrumental in rapidly 
lessening their numbers. 
Elk hunting is allowed in only five 
Idaho counties. The others have no 
open season. This is a good thing for 
the sportsman of today. Sawtooth Elk 
will probably never be exterminated, but 
this might have been the case were it 
not for the very short open season. 
D EER hunting probably offers the 
best sport to the Sawtooth hunter. 
A short time in the fall comprises 
the whole open season for deer. These 
animals have never been so scarce as 
others. The winters do not seem to be 
so hard upon them as upon other ani- 
mals. Each year one feels sure a lessen- 
ing of their numbers will be evident, but 
it does not seem to be the case. The 
numerous bears in the Sawtooths prob- 
ably kill more deer than all hunters com- 
bined. Sawtooth bear hunters have fre- 
quently come across the partly devoured 
bodies of deer. Everything points to the 
bear as the marauder. 
One deer is the bag limit for the Saw- 
tooths. To hunt every animal is hard 
work, but deer have such a habit of 
running swiftly and far into the forest 
that it is one of the most arduous of 
all big game hunting pastimes. Deer 
hunting in the Sawtooths is no harder 
work than in other localities, however. 
I know of many splendid specimens of 
deer which have been shot in the Saw- 
tooths. They are fully as large as those 
af any other locality. Every year deer 
hunters from the east are coming to 
realize this more and more. A great 
many eastern sportsmen come to Ket- 
chum, the railroad terminus, outfit there 
and then hit for the back country which 
abounds with lakes and streams. 
In regard to mountain goat, there is a 
short open season in the fall. Many 
hunters try their luck hunting this crag 
dweller, but he is not so popular a game 
animal as he should be. Perhaps hunt- 
ers are getting lazy and do not wish 
to hunt this animal. One hunter who 
was hunting in the Sawtooths secured 
the best picture of a live mountain goat 
that I have ever seen. He managed to 
get within about ten feet of the animal. 
He snapped it while it was lying down 
in a most natural position. To photo- 
graph a goat at any time is very diffi- 
cult, but from a distance of about ten 
feet seems almost impossible. 
Bear hunting in the Sawtooths; is very 
popular. Doubtless the great number of 
these destructive animals makes the 
sport more popular than it otherwise 
would be. One is almost sure To get 
a bear if he hunts in the quaken asp 
thickets. _ Most Sawtooth bear hunters 
send their airedales into these thickets 
On the 
Water Route of 
Pere Marquette 
Down the long miles of inland 
waterways, where Pere Mar- 
quette’s redskins laboriously pad- 
died his birch canoe on its mis- 
sion of Christianity, countless 
small craft now speed tirelessly 
— driven by purring Evinrudes. 
Wherever navigable water flows 
you will find the Evinrude. It 
has brought fishing and hunting 
grounds within easy reach of 
sportsmen and has made water- 
ways the playground of nations. 
Magneto, built-in-flywheel type, 
and Automatic Reverse are stan- 
dard Evinrude features. 
The leading sporting goods 
or hardware stores in most 
localities sell the Evinrude.
