not. Finally I did see a prong, and a} 
slow, steady raising of the gun and a 
squeeze put life into that deer. 
His first leap to the right brought 
another bullet clean through him, and 
so did the next jump, and then he 
keeled over and laid still. 
This was the deer that they were ex- 
pecting to find up on the point dead in 
his tracks, so we felt lucky at having 
been deployed as we were covering the 
retreat. 
The Habits of Trout and 
Where They Abide 
(Continued from page 267) 
and are now well distributed throughout 
the country. Those twenty-seven forms 
are divided and subdivided into allied 
groups or families, and are found native 
to or transplanted in almost every 
suitable water of the temperate zone 
of this northern continent. 
wan are slightly varied in form and 
coloration and their size increases 
according to the abundance of food and 
the water they inhabit. We angling 
tourists visiting the native trout waters 
will be told by resident fishermen that 
this particular fish is the gamiest in 
the world. In a general sense all are 
gamy under certain conditions, and 
most of them attain a weight from five 
to thirty pounds, the larger size be- 
ing found in the western and Pacific 
states. 
To give a detailed descripition of 
each would take a whole volume; it is 
only possible briefly to mention the 
names of the most popular varities, 
which in a measure is applicable to all. 
The Sierra and Rocky Mountain regions 
are rich in many fine species of trout, 
other tropical specimens being the 
cutthroat, the Yellowstone, Tahoe, 
Grande, Colorado, spotted trout of 
Washington, the rainbow, Kern River, 
McCloud, Oregon Brook trout, steel- 
head, brown trout, Loch Leven and last 
the eastern speckled fontinalis ard its 
western sister, the Dolly Varden. 
N the eastern states the most pop- 
ular and abundant trouts are the 
rainbow, brown and_ speckled brook 
trout, all of which attain to a weight 
of about eight pounds. In western 
states the rainbow is caught up to 
twenty-five pounds. The rivers and 
lakes where they abide are invariably 
cold and clear under normal conditions. 
Eastern and western trout streams are 
exactly similar with few exceptions— 
quick moving over gravel beds, winding 
in and out among mountains and val- 
leys, long successions of rapid falls and 
then deep pools or stretches of rippling 
shallows, so varied, yet perfect environ- 
ment for the species found in them.
