turing half a hundred antelope kids, 
tendered their services with their fleet- 
est horses, but smiled. They predicted 
that perhaps a dozen animals might be 
caught, but it was likely a number of 
those would be injured. 
4h HE waicher, who for two weeks had 
followed the herd with his glasses, 
hiding here and there, knew that in a 
few days the does would begin dropping 
kids in Jarge numbers and twelve men 
were called and stationed at points 
along the feeding grounds where the 
animals assembled annually to bring 
forth their young. 
A truck skirted the edge of the desert 
and the driver distributed small crates 
to points a few miles apart and near 
these, men were stationed to watch the 
herd day and night. 
Two days after the virgil was estab- 
lished the first capture was made. Com- 
ing out from the ranks, a doe heavy in 
fold approached within a few hundred 
yards of two men on watch. So close 
did she resemble the desert that only 
keen eyes could perceive her. She 
dropped a kid, nosed the animal a mo- 
ment and there in the hot sun he 
stretched out, resembling a tiny sand 
mound. As the mother went to another 
point to drop a second kid several hun- 
dred yards away, the hunters stole 
from their hiding place and keeping 
their eyes glued closely on the tiny sand 
mound soon caught and carried off the 
kid and placed him in a crate. 
Later in the day hunters on the other 
side of the desert made a similar cap- 
ture. It was done noiselessly and with- 
out incident and only one kid was taken 
from each mother. 
Day by day for two weeks the hunters 
worked, capturing sometimes two and 
sometimes three a day or more and 
sending them to a ranch house to be 
fed on a bottle. 
I? was a novel system but it worked. 
Only two kids were hurt while thirty- 
eight were captured. One _ stronger 
than the rest got up and started to run 
as the hunters, working in pairs, closed 
in upon it. He was chased a short dis- 
tance and stepped in a hole and fell, 
breaking a leg just as he was grabbed. 
Another was caught by the leg and fell, 
suffering an injury which lamed him 
for some weeks. 
It was hot, hard work. It required 
constant vigil and cautious movements 
on the part of the hunters not to dis- 
turb and scatter the herd. Occasionally 
a doe maddened by the loss of her kid 
would run for some distance back and 
forth over the sands before going to the 
other kid which she always found and 
then seemed quiet and contented. On 
the ranch the antelope kids thrived and 
grew tame. It required lots of work to 
feed thirty-eight baby antelope from 
Dependable recoil means 
confidence in shooting 
For confidence in shooting: 
1. Uniform Velocity 
2. Even Patterns 
3. Dependable Recoil 
T is one of the first laws of nature that “‘to every 
action there is an equal and contrary reaction.’’ 
This explains why recoil depends largely on velocity. 
A powder that has an abnormally “‘light’’ recoil lacks 
velocity, penetration and killing power. The elements 
of recoil are: 
Weight of gun 
Muzzle Velocity 
Weight of shot charge 
Weight of wads 
Weight of powder charge 
There are two kinds of recoil — dependable and 
regular, and variable or irregular. 
As recoil depends largely on velocity—if the velocity 
is uniform, the recoil is sure to be uniform and 
dependable. 
Du Pont bulk smokeless powder excels all other bulk 
powders in uniformity of velocity, because it is a 
hard grain powder and thus resists moisture better 
. and is less affected by climatic changes. 
Du Pont gives the lowest breech pressures for stand- 
ard and uniform velocities, resulting in the highest 
percentage patterns as well as the most even and 
effective. 
Shoot du Pont year after year in your favorite shell 
and you get the same uniform, hard hitting velocity 
and the same dependable recoil. Du Pont Smokeless 
is the only hard grain bulk powder on the market. 
This means confidence and satisfaction for YOU.
