game in order to steer clear of the colonel.
Just now when the night crust forms is a
good time to get the slain deer out of the
woods on sledges and it will be a big busi-

also that in week or two the snow will have
settled sufficiently to allow the game to es-
cape from the yards and then it will not be
so much of a picnic to hunt the game.
