A MIGHTY GOOD SPORT. 
(Continued from page 611.) 
ing and slipping, checking his fall, till, with a 
sudden thump he lands among the leaping dogs. 
There is a snarl of rage from Mage, a yelp 
from Bing and all are dashing through the un¬ 
derbrush. A dozen yards and the coon scram¬ 
bles up a sapling and glares down at his pur¬ 
suers. His eyes, now two gleaming balls of fire, 
furnish an excellent target and a charge of buck¬ 
shot brings him senseless to the ground. 
The party gathers around the fire. Pipes are 
lighted and conversation flows freely. From the 
cavernous recesses of his hunting coat John 
Stanton fishes a bit of food and feeds the dogs. 
Some one consults his watch. Why it is only 
ten o’clock. It is too early to go home, suppose 
we try the gap over by Table Rock. The fire is 
quenched and the party starts forth, hopeful of 
repeating the experience before the first glim¬ 
mer of coming day sends Mr. Coon scampering 
for his home in some far off hollow tree. 
And that is about all there is to coon hunt¬ 
ing, yet, there are a thousand little things you 
will remember throughout the twilight years 
when you catch a whiff of dead leaves on murkey 
fall nights and there is a tinge of frost in the 
wind, to keep alive the spirit that made coon 
hunting such an unalloyed joy through good and 
bad luck alike, when you and I were boys. 
GROUSE PROSPECTS. 
“Plump and healthy, strong and bonnie!” In 
these words an Argyllshire proprietor describes 
the state of birds on his moors, and reports 
written in somewhat similar terms are received 
from other parts of the West Highlands. Ex¬ 
cellent accounts are obtained of the moors in 
Arran, Mull, Rum and Lewis, the birds being- 
spoken of as very plentiful and very vigorous. 
As the result of careful and intelligent manage¬ 
ment these islands have developed, within the 
last few years, into splendid grouse preserves. 
Hoy, Orkney, is another insular domain that 
is gaining in favor with the red bird; and at 
present its pretty stretches of nice crisp heather 
carry a goodly head of game. Last year a 
number of Caithnes moors were rather serious¬ 
ly decimented by disease, 'but it is pleasant to 
learn that they have made a satisfactory recov¬ 
ery. A recent survey has shown that this sea¬ 
son finds them carrying quite a normal stock. 
In Banff and Aberdeen the outlook was seldom 
rosier, and in all parts of Inverness-shire good 
sport is positively assured. The Perthshire hill¬ 
sides make a brave display of birds. Despite 
the setback experienced last year by many Bor¬ 
der moors, this season finds them all well plen- 
ished with fine, healthy game. No trace of 
disease has been detected anywhere in Scotland, 
and the desiructive heather beetle seems to be 
much less in evidence than it was las.t year. 
Our Biggest Game Bird. 
The capercailzie is fairly abundant on all the 
best-wooded Highland estates, and its range is 
ever extending. For its home' it favors woods 
that are not too old and afford ample food in 
the shape of seeds and green, succulent leaves. 
On being flushed in its sylvan retreat it offers 
anything but an easy shot. The best way to 
carry out a “capper” shoot is to have the woods 
beaten in the usual way and the guns stationed 
outside. The birds come sailing over the tops
