A DEER STORY
BY An or Timer


An old time resident of Pierce
county, who lives near Spring Valley,
writes The Journal that he is especi-
ally interested in the development OF
the Glen Park zoo as it recalls to MS
mind the days of real sport, when
deer, bear and trout were pientiiui
throughout this vicinity.
The Journals item concerning the
Rod & Gun Clubs purchase OF
deer for the Glen Park zoo reminds
our pioneer correspondent OF the
manner in which George VAIL used
to bag his winter supply OF venison
in the old days.
There was large swamp, and IN
its center prominent strip OF
ground upon which the deer would
congregate. But when anyone ap-
preached they would circle the
point, always out of range.
George finally conceived a plan
which thereafter always brought
home the venison." In circling the
point the deer followed well-worn
trail, SO George hung his coat on a
bush along the path and when the
deer, fleeing from George, came up
on the coat, they scattered out into
the more open portion Of the swamp
and at least one would be exposed to
his unerring craftsmanship.
The Journals "Old Timer" cor
respondent has many other stories OF
fishing and hunting in the pioneer
days of Pierce and Bayfield, counties,
which will appear in later issues OF
this paper.
'sOl' Timer" will have some more
stories in The Journal in the near
furture. There are other journal
readers who could, if they would, send
in some interesting stories OF the
pioneer days, and we would like to
get them and publish them. Let's
hear from more Of you Of timers.
