saranac Lake, n. " Aug. Is (speciaD-The legal
deer season opened to-day. There are enough rifles
and ball cartridges In the woods to stock arsenal
II the deer were hit by very small fraction OF the
bullets prepared for them, there wouldn't be an ami
NAL left for 1892. But 10 isn't so easy 10 hit deer rs
IL looks. Warren Flanders and Card slaoney, two
Of the best handsomest and most muscular guides in
the Adirondacks, offer interesting testimony con-
corning deer and deer-huntIng. Warren is an excel
lent shot One day fine buck dashed across
clearing. Warren aimed at the animals fore shoulder
but when the ball reached the deer ii cut of tho hind
legs Some hunters always aim Just ahead Of run
ming deer. The spot to shoot at however. is the
shoulder. Though II you don't have time 10 get
bead The shoulder, the fifth rib Will do, or the
hind leg. The point is 10 shoot. Frequently young
hunters watch deer TIL II has passed By. Then they
begin to think of their os II they shoot at ALL they
do so tremblngly, under the influence Of the we'll
known "buck fever The for this is TO put the
victim astride bent saplng and let the tree spring
up hurting the "buck fever" patient among the high
pine boughs IL is said TO effect cure every time
and TO be Just enough tonic for the betterment Of
trembling nerves. Slash" shooting is the sportsman
like way to kill deer. Runways leading to burnt
cearinGs offer positions for the hunters, and the
hounds force the deer to cross the clearing, there Is
excellent opportunity to shoot Shooting on runways
is the only decent way to seek deer. Butchers and
pothunters shoot deer in the water, where the ami
mean way to seek deer search light lantern in tho
bow Of the boat or adjusted to tho hunters head
throws light in the eyes Of the deer as 1t feeds on the
lake shore. The eyes glisten like balls Of fire.
Curiosity impels the deer to stand. The hunter
shoots at the deer's eyes, As rule the deer mas no
chance for his life when thus approached The Tea-
son why deer sinks while in the red coat when shot
in the water is a conundrum. When the deer has
short or long blue coat OF hair 1t floats. Guides say
that the red hair Is solid. Blue hair they caim Is
hollow and buoyant. Whetber the hair Is blue or ren'
the safest thing to do 70 make cure OF swimming Ven-
son Is TO have stout rope around its neck Oeiore
shooting The quality OF deer meat Is at It's oeSt IN
October. The average deer weighs 100 pounds nan
Of the animal is edible. The 300 pound deer which
rouno hunters talk about are scarce" So are
blaoktailed deer deer's age Is determined some
what by the grayness OF its complexion The guides
do not know exact signs to determine the age Inc
law allows hunting deer with hounds in FranRln
County after September 1. In st. Lawrence County
hounds are not allowed at any time
