for consultation, or either of the others 
may do this by swinging into the track 
and signalling. It is customary to re- 
lieve the trailer frequently, to prevent 
him from getting the obsession that were 
he a flanker, the deer would have been 
venison long ago. 
When the leader signals assembly near 
noontime, he swings into the track, 
chooses a site and builds a fire while the 
others are coming in. This is usually 
done just after the deer has been jumped, 
as that gives the deer a chance to get 
over his panic while lunch is being eaten. 
The assembly is nearly always made on 
the deer’s track, as the flankers always 
want to see and study it. If one of the 
flankers strikes the track running at 
nearly right angles to what it was, he 
calls the others in right away to make 
a fresh start. In assembling on a flank 
call, the other flanker and the trailer so 
conduct their movements that they may 
be sure that the track is the same and 
not ene made by another deer. 
T HE first day Bill Copeland hunted 
with us, we found a good morning’s 
track leading into a swamp ; couldn’t 
be a better layout. Corey took the trail- 
ing end, gave Bill the leeward edge of the 
swamp to travel to near the windward 
side, and I took the other side. Bill and 
I started. Corey waited twenty minutes 
and then followed the trail. He jumped 
the deer in the swamp and took him out 
right through where Bill should have 
been standing. Bill had found a nice 
fresh track leading out of the swamp 
about half way round, followed it about 
half a mile over a hill to the edge of an- 
other Bwamp, and sat down to wait for 
us to up. By the time that he woke 
up t® the fact that there was more than 
one deer is New Hampshire, Corey and 
I were «ver a hill a mile away and we 
didn’t see Bill until almost night. After 
listesiag and waiting and blowing his 
horn ns some, Bill circled his 
swamp, which was small, and found that 
the «teer was still in it. Then he went 
looking S®r us. In the meantime, Bill’s 
side «f ear route was the only feasible 
one, ntkie being on the windward side 
most ef the time. About the only chance 
1 had was for Bill to scare that deer in 
to me, and that proved to be a pretty 
siim *feasee that day. Had Bill called 
us immediately he found the flank tracK, 
Corey and I should have filtered through 
the iiramp, closing right in on that first 
deer, and, Fad we missed him, the other 
offered an even better chance. In any 
event, we should have kept our team 
working together. 
When first jumped, the deer will usu- 
ally ran but a short way, less than half 
a mile, and will then resume feeding or 
lie down, but after about the third time, 
he realizes that he is being followed and 
he does a good run, a mile or so, in an 
effort t® shake off his pursuers, and he 
scrutinizes the country he has passed 
pretty thoroughly before he again feels 
at ease and goes about his business. 
Each time he is jumped after that, he 
make® a run of about the same length 
until he begins to feel tired or hungry 
or contemptuous of his pursuers, when 
each run becomes shorter than the one 
before, until, if he has been chased all
