just above the shoulder and was quite 
dead. Hurriedly cleaning him, I went 
back and got the ponies. The gray 
vigorously objected to having the buck 
packed on him, and snorted, kicked and 
bucked. But taking off my vest I effec- 
tively blindfolded him by throwing it 
over his head and buttoning it under- 
neath. Then, after more murmurings 
and snorts on the part of the gray, I 
got the buck securely tied on behind 
my saddle and climbing on we again 
set out for home, arriving there hun- 
gry, but happy, about an hour after 
dark.

under my observation: 
In a party that hunted together 
through seven seasons and killed much 
big game there were .30-.40s, two Krags 
and a Winchester Model 795, with 28- 
inch barrel and two ’95 Model Win- 
chester with 24-inch barrel chambered 
for the .30 caliber Model 1903 cartridge 
wtih 220 grain bullet. We found by 
repeated tests that the .30-.40 invaria- 
bly had better penetration than the 
.20 ’03 on game that was shot under 
i150 yards, and, of course, this took in 
a large share of the bag. Between 150 
and 200 ‘yards the .30-.40 often gave 
better penetration than the .30 ’03 under 
similar circumstances, but over 200 
yards the .30 ’03 gave the better pene- 
tration. At first we naturally supposed 
that the .30 ’03 shooting a bullet of the 
same weight and diameter at a higher 
velocity than the .30-.40 would give bet- 
ter penetration, but after repeated in- 
stances came to our attention where it 
would not give as much penetration as 
the .30-.40 at short range, we checked 
up on it carefully. The .30 ’03 was 
surely a killer. It delivered the punch 
but we would have liked it better if the 
bullet had been a little tougher. About 
2,000 foot seconds velocity seemed to be 
as much speed as this bullet could stand 
and still hang together. 
The illustrations are of .30-40-200 
bullets that have killed game. They 
show that the mushrooming effect was 
good and yet left enough of the base 
to give good driving power.

DEVIL BUG 
HAIR FLIES 
HERE has long been a demand for flies more dur- 
able than the feather fly, with some of the effect- 
iveness of DEVIL BUGS, but priced to compete 
with feather flies. Here they are—DEVIL BUG HAIR 
FLIES! 
Like the wings and tails of DEVIL BUGS those of 
DEVIL BUG HAIR FLIES are of deer’s hair, that 
instead of collapsing when they hit the water expand 
and move as if alive! 
These flies are not only remarkably effective, but 
they easily outlast feather flies, being tied with fine 
copper wire that does not rot and give way. 
Devil Bug Hair Flies come in two types of bodies: 
Silkateen and cotton, and chenille and tinsel. There 
are three sizes: Trout, Bass and Salmon. |! have used 
these flies for two years and guarantee them to be 
deadly effective. Prices are as follows:
