HUNTING NOTES

"A Bath citizen was I'D among the
White mountains on business during
the big storm of last week Tuesday
when 1t was proposed by one Of the
party TO go out after a deer. There
were plenty of oil skins for the four in
the party and these were donned and
the party set out with their rifles. The
guide suggested that the deer were
unusually wild and for one couple to
Jake a certain stand and the other
two remain where they were until the
couple going on, reached their posi-
ton. Then by signals given both par
ties were to advance and one or the
other couple would drive the deer
within shot of the others. 1t was a
good plan but failed to work for the
reason that the buck trumpeted the
alarm and the two does with him
went at right angles to the trail thus
mapped out. while he went in the op-
posite direction. fine hunters could
hear the buck and his family trum-
peting to each other from distant
woods, but they had to go back to
camp without obtaining a glimpse OF
the deer. The same herd had done
this trick 100 times before the past
fall. the Bath man says.
One Bath hunter was met returning
Saturday afternoon from a days yis-
1t In Arrowsic. He had found tracks
but they were old ones and failed to
see deer. He thinks that while there
have been many deer, on Arrowsic
the past Fall, the hunters there have
driven them Off the island to, the
mainland.-Bath Times.
One of the luckiest hunters In Port
land Is Edgar H. Merrill, who within
three hours brought down two hand
some buck deer. one an almost pure
albino. Merrill's success was not all
due to luck. however, for he is one Of
the keenest shots who ever looked
oyer rifle barrel. A couple of weeks
ago the Portland marksmen made a
trip to the Moosehead lake region.
Starting out early in the morning.
Merrill brought down his aibino at
o'clock. and bagged the second buck
about 10 o'clock the same forenoon.
The albino weighed TIA pounds. Both
deer carried 10 point antlers OF un-
usual symmetry.
