In writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. It will identify you. 
not hear the rustling of leaves under¬ 
foot as you approach, or one on the 
trail of a doe may prove oblivious to 
sights and sounds that would ordinarily 
frighten him into instant flight. The 
golden rule to follow if you wish to 
Dag a good trophy is to keep going 
every day and hunt faithfully whatever 
the weather conditions may be. 
The very best time for still-hunting 
is after a rain or prolonged shower. 
Deer are always moving around and 
Ceding at such a time, and you can 
walk soundlessly with the material 
assistance of the drip from leaves and 
undergrowth. Moreover, you will know 
just about where you will be likely to 
find them. In all probability they will 
be in the vicinity of low ground, or feed¬ 
ing on the lower slopes of the ridges. 
Wet weather, therefore, is always a joy 
to the heart of a still-hunter for it 
means seeing deer where otherwise you 
would only be witness to vanishing 
tails. 
In the early chill of an autumn morn¬ 
ing, bucks are frequently found feeding 
on high ground or near the edge of old 
burnings and fallows. Bear in mind 
that wet weather conditions make them 
hang to the swamps, and clear frosty 
days to higher prices where feed is 
plentiful. From considerable observa¬ 
tion in the matter, I have found that 
between the hours of nine and twelve 
in the morning, deer are usually lying 
down. There are, of course, exceptions 
to this rule, but it holds good in most 
cases. If you happen to come across 
a knoll during the middle of the day, 
always approach it with the utmost 
caution. Bucks have a predilection for 
such a place, and use it as a sort of 
lookout when they are ruminating. 
Windy weather invariably makes 
deer wild and nervous. They seem to 
appreciate the danger attached to the 
uproar which so effectually shuts out 
other suspicious sounds. If I had my 
choice of two evils I think I would pre¬ 
fer a dry, still day to one with a gale 
blowing. 
A fascinating but less difficult method 
of still-hunting is practiced in Novem¬ 
ber, sometimes as early as the latter 
part of October, with the arrival of 
several inches of snow. The pleasur¬ 
able excitement of following a fresh 
track cannot be overestimated. Some¬ 
times you will sight your deer fifteen 
or twenty minutes after str.king his 
trail. Then, again you may have to 
follow him for hours, and if he hap¬ 
pens to have too good a head start you 
may not come up with him at all. When 
hunting on the snow, however, you al¬ 
ways have the satisfaction of knowing 
that you are on the trail of an animal 
that is worth while. There at your 
feet are the tell-tale hoof prints, and 
unless they greatly belie their owner’s 
size, you know you will not be disap-
