“No,” 1 said, “I did not go out fishing, 
but let me show you something.” I went 
and got the two wolf hides and showed 
them to him. “Great Scott, where did 
you get them?” he asked. Then I told 
him all about it. When I finished he 
said: “Well, you did pretty well, but I 
can beat you; I killed three bear and a 
cougar.” It was my turn now to be 
surprised and I wanted to know all about 
it, so he told me how he had been follow- 
ing along the trail, over towards the Lake 
of the Woods and came into a big flat 
country where there were lots of huckle- 
berries, and a small pond or lake. He 
went off down that way and found that 
the water was muddy and upon further 
examination he found where a bear had 
gone out on the other side, and the dogs 
went to work on the track and soon had 
it going, Temp followed up for about two 
miles and heard them barking up a tree. 
When he got to the tree where he expect- 
ed to see one bear, to his great astonish- 
ment there were three, an old one and 
two cubs — big ones at that. Temp knew 
his failing, that he was very excitable 
and nervous, so he waited and calmed 
himself and took a rest along side of a 
tree and killed the old one dead, the first 
shot. This done, the balance was easy, 
and, while the dogs were shaking the old 
one, he proceeded to shoot the two cubs 
out. He dressed and hung the cubs in a 
tree and went on over toward the Lake 
of the Woods, although there were lots of 
huckleberries, he saw nothing more worth 
while to shoot at except grouse, and he 
turned and went along up towards Mt. 
Pitt. Finally he came out into a big 
opening and found where a deer had been 
killed by a cougar, and it had been feed- 
ing on it. The dogs went to work on the 
track, which was cold, and after follow- 
ing it for perhaps an hour, rousted it out 
of its bed, and soon had it up a tree. 
Temp went to the tree and as good luck 
would have it made another good shot, 
and it fell to the ground dead. Temp 
was happy now— this was his first cougar, 
and it was a big one. 
The next morning, Temp took the 
horses and went after his game; and I 
started out from camp and went straight 
north up old Mt. Pitt to a prairie on a 
big bench where there were lots of grass 
and water, and where I had seen elk signs 
once before when I was in that locality. 
When I got up near the prairie I made 
my way up to the edge of the timber as 
noiselessly as possible and right out near 
the middle of the opening there lay a big 
cow elk and not another one in sight. 
She was lying broadside, with her head 
laid out on the ground. I took a bead 
behind the shoulders and. fired. She 
sprang up, attempted to go forward, stag- 
gered around and went down. I now had 
a job on my hands, sure enough. It took 
a long time to get the entrails out and get 
it straightened around so that the blood 
would drain out well. Then I took my 
gun and hiked for camp and got back be- 
fore noon. Temp had not arrived yet, so 
I built a fire and took a bucket and went 
to the lake, which was only about fifty 
yards away, to get some water. When I 
reached it, I happened to look out across 
the ■ lake and I saw an old buck coming 
across the prairie towards the lake. He

It takes the hard work out of water trips. With 
an Evinrude the fisherman can move quickly
