PROFESSIONAL SKUNK HUNTING.
Scott Burnham OF Manchester. Is Easily the
Leader in This Section.

Probably the only professional skunk
hunter in the vicinity of Augusta who
does business on a large scale, is Scott
Burnham. who lives on the road from
Manchester Forks over to the outlet
Of Lake Cobbosseecontee. Mr.. Burn
( ham has been in the business for some
time. and conducts it on scientific prin-
ciples, so that each season his efforts
in that line yield quite a respectable
revenue.
In the capture of these animals Mr..
Burnham depends largely on his dog.
which is trained for the purpose The
season begins late in the fall, and the
hunting is done either by moonlight or
by the light of lantern. The best
time for the work is from O'Clock I'M
til midnight. as during the early hours
of the evening the skunks are not apt
to get SO far away from their dens
| but that they can easily dodge in if
alarmed. Later, however, they wander
off. and then. with the aid of a good
dog, their capture is easily effected.
skunk will. in travelling through
grass which is wet with dew. leave
scent which a dog can easily follow,
and a dog that has been properly train
cd will, in following up the trail of
skunk. work in precisely the same
manner as does a hound when running
fox. except that the dog does not
give tongue until he comes up with the
game.
Skunks are generally disposed of
with a charge of shot, but Mr.. Burn
! ham has different method of pro-
| ccdure. He uses no gun. and is thus
! enablcd to secure the skin without the
possibility of having it punctured with
! shot holes. When the hour arrives he
whistles to the dog. and then, armed
only with a long pole, sallics forth to
! the hunting grounds. While the dog
! cruises around the fields and pastures.
Mr.. Burnham seats himself on a con-
vcnient stump or stone wall. lights his
pipe. and, like Mr. Micawber. waits
for something to turn up" Pretty soon
| the dog strikes a trail. and following
it up. brings the game to Il standSt;n.
| at the amc time giving a series of
barks which say as plainly as words:
| Come on; I've found him"
This is the beginning of the end.
Guided by the barking of the dog, the
hunter soon comes up to the scene Of
| the encounter. and while the skunk S
attention is held by the dog, a well di-
rected blow from the club breaks the
i skunk's back, and the dog does the
| rest.
| In this way several skunks are often
secured in a night. Last fall proved a
very successful season. and Mr.. Burn
! ham secured an even hundred skins.
/ The skins are stretched over a board.
and when sufficiently dried find ready
sale to fur dealers.
