mountainside toward me. 1 had not been wait
ing more than 10 minutes before really
magnificent stag appeared on the skyline and
started to trot slowly down the steep slope
toward me.
He came out into the bare, open, rocky nullah
in front Of me, but little to the right covered
him and waited for him to stop, as thought
he would do; when realized that he wasn't
going to stop at all, it was too late. I took
snap shot, but missed, and away he went into
the underground on the other side Of the nullah.
For all L knew to the contrary, that was the
last chance I should have that day, and felt
very sick about it. However, the only thing to
do was to arrange another drive which, sure
enough, proved q blank.
