were still twelve posts below us and 
standing there with their heads high in 
the air—one of the party had ventured 
to take a look to see just how we were 
coming out and the geese had seen him. 
It was too late for a second attempt, for 
when a goose catches one glimpse of an 
approaching hunter, it is good-bye goose, 
farewell hunter. 
We did not shoot. The geese began 
to honk and started to fly some hundred 
yards below us. We were all too dis¬ 
appointed to take a chance shot when 
we saw really how easily we could have 
come within twenty-five yards of that 
flock had our marking been correct. 
After it was all over and considerable 
brokenheartedness had been freely ex¬ 
pressed, we saw that there was a curve 
in the bank exactly twelve posts above 
us. This we had not noticed because of 
the iced-over condition of everything, 
until the geese were gone—together with 
the greatest chance I have ever had of 
bagging a whole flock of Canadas. 
From this curve in the bank the fence 
ran in a direct line, from my point of 
observation, back in the brush to a clump 
of bushes backed up by high trees, so 
that from the position 400 yards down 
the river one could not tell that more 
than twelve posts intervened. 
At all events, the place we wanted to 
reach was just twelve posts below us, 
and fifteen yards out from the hank be¬ 
yond this post was the place where the 
flock had been resting on the ice. 
I am not sure but that Dame Nature 
plays a strong hand in matters such as 
this. Had it not been cold the river 
would have been open; had it been clear 
I would have correctly marked the ap¬ 
proach; had it not been such a day the 
geese would never have been so close to 
the bank; so I believe that Nature takes

SHOOTING COLDS 
Dear Forest and Stream : 
R ECENTLY I awoke with a regular 
old grippy cold; one of those con¬ 
tagious colds which most of us pick up 
once in a while. My first thought was 
to stay in the house and send for a phy¬ 
sician, but what I really did was to put 
a pair of big, husky fox hounds and a 
shotgun in a car and run up country 
a half dozen miles. There the dogs 
jumped a big red fox and ran him for 
about four hours through a few miles 
of soft, melting snow until Reynard de¬ 
cided to call it a day and ran in a hole. 
My part of the game was to tramp from 
ridge to ridge trying to head off Mr. 
Fox, never being in just the right place 
at just the right time, but always ex¬ 
pecting to out-general my sly opponent 
next time. 
How did this hard cross-country hike 
help a cold? It’s this way; the strenu¬ 
ous exercise caused profuse perspiration, 
that’s good for a cold; then the deep 
breathing of fresh air helped a lot, and 
the cheerful frame of mind I achieved 
was another great help. When, I got 
home I took a real hot bath, drank as 
much water as I could, rolled up in a
