as he reared up and snorted and 
champed his teeth I let drive right into 
his open mouth. The bullet passed 
through the brain and out between his 
ears and he went over backwards as 
though he had been hit in the head with 
a sledge hammer. He lay with his feet 
stuck straight up in the air for a few 
moments trembling and then rolled over 
on his side, dead. 
T HE whole racket had only lasted 
about two hours, but it seemed 
to me that I had been up the tree 
for two days, and I made up my mind 
that the next bear that put me up a 
tree would have to go some; but I took 
good care to look after my cartridges 
after that. 
I had quite a job dressing him and 
straightening him around, but I got 
it done after awhile and Trailor and 
I started for the horses. I had had 
enough hunting for one day and really 
did not care whether I saw any more 
game or not. Riley was there with the 
horses when I got back and was a lit- 
tle bit out of patience and wanted to 
know what had kept me so long, but 
when I told him the reason he seemed 
to understand. I told him I didn’t 
want him to wound any more deer for 
Ranger to catch either, for if I had 
had Ranger the two dogs might have 
kept the grizzly so busy that I would 
have had time to fix my gun. 
It was so late now that we only 
had time to get the four bucks in before 
dark, and the next day we had a big 
job packing in the two bears. 
CARRIER FOR 
ARTIFICIAL BAITS 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 403) 
of a width corresponding to the cover 
to bottom dimension of the bag, four 
strips corresponding in length to the 
inside length of the bag, and four strips 
corresponding to the inside width of 
the bag. These strips were cut, in the 
manner of egg crate partitions, with a 
series of cross cuts, each cut being 
as wide as the thickness of the strip 
and going to the mid line of the strip, 
there being four cuts on each one of 
the longer strips and four cuts on each 
one of the shorter strips. Be sure and 
have the strips wide enough to com- 
pletely fill the depth of the bag from 
cover to bottom, otherwise there will be 
trouble. These strips were interlocked 
within the bag, forming a series of re- 
ceptacles 1 2-5 x 2 1-5 inches by 4 3-4 
inches in depth, each suitable for the 
reception of an average-sized casting 
bait resting on end. One or more larger 
receptacles can be made by cutting one 
or two of the strips completely across 
at one of the cross cut points. The fit- 
ting must be careful and strips of thin 
tin or sheet aluminum will make a more 
durable and satisfactory job. 
This outfit can be conveniently slung 
under the arm and will easily pro- 
vide a sufficient variety of baits for a 
day’s fishing.

HAWK AND 
WOODCOCK 
(CONTINUED from page 401) 
sportsman who laid claim to be well 
read in natural history. I described 
this particular hawk very true to shape 
at the time, and he said it was a falcon 
and begged me not to shoot it if I saw 
it again, as he said he thought they 
were extinct in Ireland. 
I was under the impression that fal- 
cons and hawks are more or less the 
same family. However, I give you my 
experience just as it happened. This 
bird’s systematic hunting actions were 
so thorough and so rare that it was 
most interesting. In fact I was, as I 
said before, brought up there as a boy, 
in the same district, but never saw a 
hawk so large or a hawk hunting in the 
same manner before. 
Timothy Murphy, New York. 
R EFERRING to the question whether 
hawks eat woodcock, permit me to 
quote from my journal an instance 
where, to my mind, a hawk was de- 
liberately and intentionally hunting that 
species. This observation was made 
on August 7, 1920, in Suffolk County, 
N. Y. 
A favorite place for woodcock is 
about puddles that often form in a 
wheel-rut in a familiar wood road. 
One can generally find woodcock bor- 
ings here in the mud at a puddle’s 
edge. 
In the latter part of the afternoon 
(about 4:45 Standard time) I found 
a woodcock there, sitting motionless 
facing a puddle and the road beyond, 
its long bill slanting down across its 
breast. 
About three minutes by the watch 
I observed it. Then a shadow dropped 
down, and a flutter resolved itself 
into a medium-sized bird hawk ( Accipi - 
ter) which had missed, turning up- 
ward with dark-barred tail broadly 
spread, to disappear in the arching 
branches and foliage above; and the 
twitter of the woodcock slanting up 
and away through the trees in a direc- 
tion opposite to that it had been facing. 
The woodcock’s twitter was less shrill 
and loud than often, but more rapid 
and sustained, contrasting in quality 
with that sound ordinarily, something 
as the whirr of a rattlesnake with the 
chirping of grasshoppers or crickets. 
I did not glimpse the woodcock from 
the moment it was attacked; it must 
have been very quick. I thought the 
hawk might have alighted nearby after 
its miss, but could not find that it 
had done so.
