then the zebra and then the small gazel1es The
hunter follows them and the same thing occurs He
may fire and wound them, but they manage to get
away with the rest of the herd. He sometimes fol-
lows herd the plain for hours without shooting
any.
The hunter usually goes up the ridge in the
morning to hunt far away from camp Bv 8
o'clock the is rather hot and he takes off his
khaki jacket and rolls up his sleeves The first gun
bearer goes ahead with the light, rife then comes
the hunter and the second gun bearer behind with the
heavy express rife. Personally | always carry my
rife. The gun bearer has very keen sight He
sees the game first and says. "Oh, master, master
there therep The hunter then looks in the direction
mentioned and finally sees the animal
When game is seen the plan of action varies ac-
cording to the variety. In case it be a dangerous
animal the gun bearer hands the hunter the express
rife, loaded with hard nosed cartridges. All game
is approached from the leeward side, SO that they
may not catch the wind scent. Stalking is great
feature of the shooting, elsewhere; crawling along
the ground creeping stealthy from bush to bush or
from tree to tree, from hill to hill until
within range. HI must be especially careful in ap-
preaching the rhnoceros the elephant to allow
them to get the wind (scent) for although they can
not see we'll their of smell is very acute.
The buffalo not only has keen scent but also has
good eyesight, has the lion. All wild animals,
however, try avoid the hunter and run away when
they detect his presence The rhinoceros is the animal
that is the most likely to charge, and when in
rhnoceros country the hunter be the lookout,
the animal may rush at hem from any point if he
happen to catch his scent. He often charges
van rushing through it and fighting the porters who
throw down their loads and helter skelter one
side or the other. The rhnoceros charges with ter
rife speed and.after passing through the line he con-
tnues some distance, when he finds that he has lost
the scent and he usually not find the hunter.
When rhinoceros suddenly charges hunter and
rushes toward him the hunter must either jump to
side or else obquely toward and away from
him. For instance if the hunter be in the posi-
ton the rhinoceros the at the bat is the
pitcher in game Of baseball and imagine the
pitcher charging him, he in turn must in direc-
ton corresponding to first base and having. reached
first base he must then continue around to second.

there is dry river bed, zebra pasture and not
far from the water. He starts out at night a
hunt and usually kills either zebra or buck after
feeding he goes to stream to drink and then
lies down a rock in the for while, after
which he goes into some quiet shady place and sleeps
during tFA day. Very often kill is seen-that is, the
body of an animal killed and partly the night
before. The lion often goes back toward evening
after having had good and feed again,
thus afording good opportunity for the hunter to
bag him.
Sometimes lions are baited by putting out live
animal tethered, or one that has been killed, and
shooting the lion from blind when he begins to
eat it.
The percentage of lions that charge is rather small
One who has killed 20 lions told me that he had
seen lion charge but once. The percentage
of persons that maued is also small One firm of
outhtters for hunting expeditions reported that be-
tween 200 and 800 lions had been killed by the hunters
that it had sent during the last without
having Suffered the slightest injury.
There is considerable luck in lion shooting. Some
have lived in lion countries for years and have
done much trekkng without having single lion,
whereas others have seen and killed almost i'm
mediatey after their arrival. One man IA to-
gether and retired without shooting. Another was
talking with his hancee one day and when she said.
"Oh, Jack, j wish you would kill lion "All right"
said Jack, and he sailed forth. He went to nearby
river and eight lions the other side He raised
his rifle and fired, one dropped and the others went
away. He fired again, but the animalSdid not stir.
He finally concluded that it must be dead, crossed
the river with some natives, skinned the lion and
returned with the trophy. In another case, one Of
the porters told friend of mine that there was
lion in the river bed They beat the river bed and
seven out, FIVE of which he shot know another
man who was nine months in Africa shooting and
always in country where, he was surrounded by
game. The presence of lions constantly reported
to him, and yet he never lion, although his
desire was to shoot
The San Francisco call., 1909-08-22

The hunter dsmounts when about 200 800 yards
from him and opens FIRE.
If the lion starts to away the hunter again
mounts his horse and follows him until he stops
when he again dsmounts and opens fire. If the
lion again runs and is not injured the hunter again
rides him down and fires. If, the other hand, the
lion charges the hunter continues to FIRE until the
lion is about 200 yards away, when he mounts ms
horse and runs away The lion follows, but usually
stops and the hunter dsmouns and starts hring
again. If the lion is wounded and neither run
away charge, then the hunter continues to shoot
and advance slowly until he has killed the animal
1t is rarely necessary to fire many times from the
range of from 20Osto 800 yards before the hon IS
either killed or badly wounded that he IS easily
disposed of.
Most cases of mauing by lions are due to follow
ing wounded animals into the tall grass or bushes
The lion is usually found in rocky country or where

The hunter will then be in position behind the rhi
noceros who will probably have lost the scent As
the rhino is running in one direction, however and
the hunter in the other the latter has chance to
fire one of two shots at him behind the shoulder and
if we'll directed, through his heart which is the size
of mans head, or through his lungs. After he has
been struck in the heart he go but short dis
while if shot through the lungs he will go far
ther but will usually slow down from loss of blood
and interfered respiration.
The hunter usually sends the porter to run after
him until he falls stops and has another native
climb tree, if there any to watch the direc
ton in which he has gone. This having been deter
mined, the hunter then follows and when near him
approaches from the 1eeward side and shoots him in
the heart or brain. Generally, however, the rhino
does not charge, the hunter sees him feeding or
resting creeps up in his lee until within easy range
and fires fatal shot.

THE MORNING HUNT

Animals in Africa usually shot at $50 yards,
sometimes more, but oftener less. When hunter
starts out to shoot, however, of the clear
ness of the air it is impossible for him to tell the
range and he often thinks that he is shooting an
animal at $50 yards, while in reality he is 500 or
more yards away The animals, however, can judge
the distance to nicely, and when the hunter ap-
proaches too near they gradually walk away else
they off for a distance. First the hartebeest,

easy to shoot antelope in few minutes but such
is not the for in the first place one does not
want to shoot does bucks with small horns and in
the second place it is hard to know the range.
The San Francisco call., 1909-08-22
HUNTING THE LION

The lion is the most dangerous of all African ami
mails although he usually away, and as his
are more acute than those of man he will probably
detect him when in the bush and disappear without
having been seen. On the plain he can be seen run
ming away, but he not be overtaken unless the
hunter is on horseback When wounded he will run
to the tall grass the bush he but if wounded
and there IS he will stand charge "A
hunter must be very careful in approaching wound
ed lion, and fire straight and go too near for
if he does not get the lion the lion is very apt to
get him.
The hunter must also be careful not to follow him
into the bush, he never knows where the animal is
until perhaps he is near, and the lion will have
the advantage and may spring on him The lion is
twice as heavy man and twice as strong, and in
tusse has the advantage i'll close quarters. In the
open however, the hunter has the advantage, if at
tackled, ds he has the rife and can fire number of
times while the animal is charging him.
In shooting lions nowadays ponies very vau-
able For distance under 200 yards lion can run
faster than pony, but for longer distance the
pony is faster When lion is driven out of the brush
or out OF river bed plain by the porters and
away if not killed badly wounded he will probably
escape; but hunter follows on horse ande he will
soon run the animal down, the lion becomes
winded and stops after running quarter of mile
