The Mystery Deer 
By Dr. JOHN W. SOWLES 

S EEING the story in your magazine 
about catching a deer by the tail, 
I thought I would tell about the ex- 
perience a friend of mine had about 
four or five years ago. It was the 
fall that the snow came in great quan- 
tities in the early part of November, 
piling up to your waist anywhere you 
stepped. 
There were several of us in a lumber 
camp, back on Riches Mountain. One 
morning Jim was walking up the path 
which the lumber men used every day 
going back and forth to work. The 
path was packed down hard, but the 
soft snow on either side rose above his 
waist. He was just going through 
some small spruces when he saw a 
small deer walking down the path 
toward him. He immediately shot at 
the deer without raising the gun to 
his shoulder; as the deer did not fall 
he shot the rifle again from his hip, 
this time the deer was only a few steps 
from him. So he stepped up into the 
soft snow. This brought him above 
the level of the path and as the deer 
was opposite him he stepped on its 
neck and pushed the deer down into 
the snow. 
As he thought that he had hit the 
deer he stepped off and the deer got 
up and ran off, this time he fired twice 
from his shoulder at it but was unable 
to hit it either time. 
We fellows at camp would not believe 
the story until he took us up and 
showed us the track in the snow. It 
is the most peculiar experience I ever 
had deer hunting.

VERY time you shoot a crow you save 
between two and three game birds— 
for more sport later on. 
One scientist estimates that 3,600,000 less 
crows would mean 10,000,000 more game 
birds. The crow is an outlaw. He’s the 
enemy of the sportsman and of the farmer, 
too. He destroys the eggs and young of all 
kinds of birds as well as growing crop. Hunt 
him down. It’s alwaysopenseason on crows. 
Get the farmers in your neighborhood to 
let you shoot crows on theirland. Establish 
friendly relations that will be of benefit to 
you during the hunting season this fall.
