FOREST AND STREAM, (SS) IeTvSk.’;-! 
Finally we came near to the spot where 
we knew the ram had laid down. We 
moved with the utmost caution. Sud- 
denly Ned pulled at my sleeve, and in 
a whisper said: “There’s the ram, look- 
ing at us, about 70 yards away, just 
beyond a shelf in the side of the moun- 
tain.” I looked, and could only see the 
head, the rest of the body being hidden 
by the projecting shelf and intervening 
bushes. 
Ned told me to hurry and shoot so I 
quickly aimed and fired. The sheep 
turned and ran at a terrific break-neck 
speed down the mountain side hitting 
trees, rocks and logs as it went. Ned 
shot at it, and missed; I shot again, 
with no visible result. Ned made ready 
to shoot a second time, but stumbled 
and fell. By this time the animal had 
fallen, about 125 yards distant down in 
the canyon. He told me to shoot once 
more at the white spot on the rump, 
but to be careful not to hit the hoMis. 
I did so and we then laboriously picked 
our way down, and there we found our 
magnificent ram, dead. My first shot 
had broken a fore shoulder and carried 
away a part of the lungs. The animal 
had been running on three legs and could 
not guide itself. My second shot had 
creased one of the horns, and my last, 
had struck near the back bone, and gone 
through the body. So far as we could 
tell, Ned’s shot had missed. 
As nearly as we could judge that 
animal weighed, possibly 250 lbs. or more 
gross. We tied it on the horse and 
packed it about five miles into camp, 
and I was proud of my trophy. My son 
also secured a sheep on the same hunt, 
and later an elk and deer were added 
to our trophies before we turned home- 
ward. 
ANGLING FOR THE 
STRIPED BASS 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 405) 
I T is June, the month of roses and bass, 
the hour three A. M., when we see 
our properly equipped angler step 
from his home and direct his steps to- 
ward the beach. The morning stars are 
yet shining He is a man of experience 
and care. His canvas fishing suit and 
well-fitting rubber boots reaching to the 
thighs, witness that fact. A leather rest 
for his rod butt is around his waist and 
a well oiled, carefully kept 2-0 or maybe 
3-0 reel is on a perfectly balanced green- 
heart or split bamboo surf rod, agate 
mounted throughout. That he is a man 
of experience may be knowm by the way 
his eye ranges up and do\Am the beach. 
The deep water slues do not hold his 
attention. His mind is on the adjacent 
flat where the water of the now rising 
tide comes tumbling over to meet the 
deep waters in the basin, for well he 
knows that if a bass is to be taken it 
is at the point where the troubled waters 
are washing out the Crustacea of the sea. 
That he is methodical may be known 
from the manner in which he prepares. 
First, six or eight feet of line is stripped 
from the reel and carefully tested as 
to strength, as the ends of lines chafe 
rapidly in surf fishing. Satisfied as to 
its condition the four-ply gut leader, 
with its brass swivel attached, is well
