helped celebrate “Armistice Day” at 
Grand Haven. This ended a most en- 
joyable hunt, for we started home the 
next morning with a bag consisting of 
2 canvas backs, 2 mallards, a teal, yel- 
low leg, king rail, 3 woodcock, a rabbit 
and a fine bunch of “jacks.”

but he only laughed, “buck-fever,” he 
said. 
Curt turned the boat up through the 
narrows and we had gone about a hun- 
dred yards when I heard him whistle 
low. At the same time he shook the 
boat, the old signal that he had seen a 
deer and for me to keep quiet. I looked 
ahead and there was the same buck 
four hundred yards: up the marsh, with 
his head down, apparently feeding. His 
white tail, instead of being down close 
to his rump, was straight up in the 
air, and Curt whispered to me that he 
was following a doe. I got my gun 
half way up to my shoulder and Curt 
started pushing the canoe ahead so fast 
that I could feel it quiver at the end of 
each stroke of the paddle. 
Beyond the buck, the forest looked

sighed softly through the tall marsh 
grass and moaned away through the

water. I shivered once or twice, and 
wondered if I could ever hold the gun 
steady enough to get that prize head. 
The buck raised his head and looked 
straight at us. Curt at once stopped 
paddling and I sat as still as I could 
though breathing hard with excitement. 
We were still a hundred and seventy 
yards away, too far to shoot with the 
wind rocking the boat as it was. The 
buck was on a runway following a doe 
and this is the only reason I can give 
for his not running away. Once more 
he put down his head and moved along 
the runway. At the same instant Curt 
buried the paddle deep in the water and 
pushed the canoe ahead. Then the 
buck raised his head again. He was 
trying to make us out, but as we sat 
perfectly still he could see no pressing 
danger. He put down his head again, 
and finding the doe’s trail a little
