' I 'HE man or boy who comes into .22 
rifle shooting these days finds a much 
higher form of sport than he would have found 
no farther back than five years. 
There is less shooting for the fun of making a noise 
— keener competition—more science and finesse. 
So Remington UMC .22 caliber arms and ammuni¬ 
tion com t fully into their own. The tendency was never 
so strong for Remington UMC as it is today. 
The Autoloading .22, the Slide Action Repeater, the 
Single Shot rifles; the .22 short, .22 long, .22 long 
rifle and .22 special cartridges—you will find in the 
stores of leading dealers everywhere.

fast lower your anchor stone about three 
feet; this will reduce the speed and steady 
the boat. When you come to a good place 
anchor your boat and fish all round, not 
fearing to cast three or four times over the 
same water. 
The best places to fish are the rocky 
bars, any wall or disused pier. On a hot 
day cast around trees that overhang the 
water or near a boat that has not been used 
for some time. Do not pass any lily pads 
or the roots of sunken trees without casting 
over them. Above all, if there is a solitary 
post that sticks up out of the water, cast 
round it every time you go that way. You 
will often get some good fish there. 
E ARLY in the season do not hesitate to 
fish in a foot of water if it is on a quiet 
and rocky part of the shore. I have sel¬ 
dom had much success in water over twelve 
feet deep, though flies can be trolled over al¬ 
most any depth of water, and at times with 
great success. In casting the flies it is best to 
let them sink two or three inches and retrieve 
them slowly. A gentle ripple on the water 
is very helpful, but it must not approach 
roughness. I have never had any success in 
a high wind, with rough water, on a lake. 
The best time with the flies is from about 
3 o’clock in the afternoon till an hour after 
sundown, though some of my friends have 
done well fishing in the moonlight; but then 
you need the larger flies. The best time 
of all is the afternoon, before the break 
comes after a spell of dry hot weather. Then 
bass will take flies as trout take worms 
when there is a freshet in the brook. If 
you are not a good weather prophet always 
take your flyrod with you and try a few 
casts every day. 
If you have never had a healthy two- 
pound bass on a flyrod with seventy feet of 
line out there is something owing you that I 
trust will be paid before this season closes. 
' DEER IN WISCONSIN 
Editor Forest and Stream : 
In reply to your inquiry as to the number 
of licenses to kill deer in Wisconsin: In 
round numbers the state sold approximately 
140,000 resident hunting licenses; these 
licenses included the killing of deer. You 
will, therefore, readily understand that it is 
impossible for us to say how many of these 
hunters used their licenses in deer hunting. 
We sold 173 non-resident deer hunting 
licenses. 
In 1916, 3,647 buck deer were shipped. 
This, of course, is only a small portion of 
the deer that were actually killed but never 
transported, the same having been taken 
home in automobiles and wagons and con¬ 
sumed locally. We feel safe in saying that 
15,000 deer were killed in Wisconsin the 
fall of 1916. 
We have but one official record of an ac¬ 
cidental death during the deer hunting sea¬ 
son, the circumstances being as follows: 
A deer hunter was sitting on a stump of 
an old logging road. His hunting partner 
was sitting near him, and suddenly hearing 
the report of a gun, he turned in time to> 
see his partner falling off the stump shot 
through the chest. R. S. Scheibel,
