JUMPING THE DEER.
3ne of the Most Thrilling Experi-
ences which Befali the Hunter
OF big Game.

Jumping a deer" is highly-at-
tractiys phrase, quite apt to make
tingling in the back hair of the
fenderfoot who hears it for the first
time. III is also intensely satisfac-
tory to the chap who always has r.
shave before wooing nature, says Out
ing. You may, indeed, get good
shot in this way, and it is generally
the only way to see the grandest or
all the sights of the woods-deer
running through windfall. To see
the glossy curves of fur curl over the
lofty logs that lie piled on each other
in boundless confusion is well worth
a trip to the woods, while for him
who loves the rifle as do, more for
what cannot be done with it than for
what can, there is no such target
elsewhere. But for the tyro who Is
dying to get that first deer jumping
deer" generally means out of sight
and out of hearing BOTH. For the
deer that goes off to lie down after
feeding does not go to sleep, but to
ruminate and take life easy.
Once in great while one falls into
doze, but almost always the head
Is well erect and all senses keen for
danger. And even IL one is in q doze
1t may slip away without your sus-
pecting its existence, for sleep dead
ems little Of the senses of this wary
animal. The man who wouldn't
shoot such an innocent creature as
DEER should by all-means see one
getting out of heavy windfall, while
the man who loves game that can
get away can here find the attraction
Of the woods at its climax.
