SHOOTING WILD HOGS

any one, and who has many friends in San Diego, has been having an inn mense amount of fun with the wild hogs in the Verde Colorado country, below Yuma, says the San Diego Union. In a letter to friend he writes:
 'Those who want their deer can have them. For me, will take the hogs. They are the gamest things and afford the finest sport of any ami mals I have ever hunted, and during my life have taken day with nearly all of them.
 "The place where we had our fun is just on the international line, across from the Imperial settlements, and on the Yuma side of the river. As near as I can find out, the hogs were turned loose originally. They are much larger than the Mexican peccaries, some of the boars that we killed during our stay weighing nearly 400 pounds. l have some tushes that are large enough for walking stick handles.
 'These hogs travel in fair-sized droves, not usually as many as the peccaries, but they are every bit as fierce, and if they come after you there is but one thing to do, and that is to kill off every one of them or run. There are no trees in that country, and the sport is as exciting as any one cares to have.
 ''The method of hunting them in the lower Colorado country is an orig inal one, and 1 believe it is not pur- sued elsewhere. The hogs run into the jules and lie there all day. There is only one good way to rout them out, and that is to send in muzzled dogs. These will turn out drove of pigs in short order.
 ''You may wonder why the dogs are muzzled. It is a necessary precaution for the muzzles keep them from catch jaw free they would hold the drove in the jules, and there would be a desper- ate fight there that would end in our losing the dogs and getting no hogs. Hounds would be no good for this kind of hunting, because they have not the grit to keep OH rooting at a pig and worrying him as the bull dogs do. A hound will do we'll enough for trailing purposes, but we never have any diff culty in locating drove of hogs, be- cause the motion of the jules shows where they are.
 "The method of procedure is to get OH rise of land above the tule beds and look bout until we see signs of pigs. Usually 1t is no great distance we have to go after them. When the proper place is reached my partner and I run for the high ground, and send in the muzzled bull dogs. There is a big roar for a while, and then the drove is sure to break cover for the high ground and there is where we will get our shooting.
 ''I use 3O-30 rifle and find it just the gun for the work. If the dogs are just behind the pigs, roofing and wor- rying them so they keep turning and snapping all the time, our work is easier, and the hogs do not spoil so much pork. If they have time, the band will stop and kill every wounded one, and that cannibalistic peculiarity

 not believe pound of the fifty odd pigs we killed was wasted.
 "The meat is excellent. I think it is quite as fine as the best domestic pig ever tasted. The hogs live on tule roots and similar food, taking enough exercise to keep their flesh firm and in good condition.
 "Our trip did not cost us anything worth mentioning. The hogs paid for our rifles, for our ammunition and for our camp expenses. 1 cannot imagine all outing that would appeal to sportsman more than this one, but most people cannot appreciate the amount of sport to be had in that little under stood country.
 During the trip had several close calls. one in particular that will not soon forget. It was one of the times when Mark Garnett and had become separated by rise of land and the dogs turned out big drove of pigs. If there had been two of us would have had no trouble, for my partner could have turned on them. But, alone as was, the dogs could not keep the at tention of all the hogs, and the free ones swerved the drove at me. I opened fire on them at about hundred yards, and when my rifle was empty banged away with my revolver until l had crammed a few more cartridges into the magazine of the Winchester. Then 1 took that up and blazed away. 1 shot pretty wild, too, but the principal thing that was in my mind at that time was to turn that drove of pigs and count the dead ones afterwards. I wanted to do my shooting into them with the animals headed the other way. There were too many long tushes confronting me to make it bling two or three, and while the rest were tearing the hurt ones to pieces, made my escape; but when l came back found eleven pigs lying around WnSIc l Hdt DtSll.
 "Garnett made suggestion that day which is better than one would think unless he was acquainted with the country. The scheme was to bring in a lot of four by four poles with cross pieces in them and set them up in the hog country. There are no trees to climb, and the poles would be great convenience, though 1 do not doubt that the hogs would soon have them cut in two.
 "Another time the hogs killed a horse under me. l forget how many of them got while they were ripping the poor brute's legs mp, but it was a good many. The horse finally fell, and managed to get out without in- jury, though the experience was too narrow a shave to be pleasant.
 Hogs often get burro from the miners, and they usually eat it, too, though hardly thing they kill it for that purpose. Usually they get mad at it. They do not eat each other ex cept in times when they are crazed with anger. A hog when he is mad is the maddest thing l ever saw. His hair all turns the wrong way, he curls his lips back and shows those nasty long tushes, and is the very incarna-
