Thursday, November 10, 1910, INTERESTING NOTES OF | AN OLD-TIME HUNTER TAKEN FROM THE DIARY OF AARON WILLIAMS, WHEN GAME WAS PLENTIFUL Some Experiences Which Our Pres- ent Day Hunters Can Read With Envy—~Many Familiar Names Re- called. (Continued from last week.) In 1888, December 1, George Wood ring, John T. Kinney, Joe Jauman, Jacob Smith, John Q. Miles, Martin Cowher and I went to Davton camp, We got some pheasants, some rabbits and one deer--which we started near Buck horn lick. We had been teasing Bauman because he had not killed a deer and told him we would drive one into the old stable near camp so that he could shoot it; the deer ran out ‘at the crossing near Bauman and he shot at it and missed it; it then ran down off the hill and to the run within about twenty or thirty vards of the stable, and Kinney, who was standing at the corner of the stable shot the deer down in the road. We had chases after two bears but did not ®et either; M, Cowher shot at one and missed It LJ LJ * In 1880, Henry Beck, J. C. Harper, John H. Orvis, Adam Yearick, Nel- son Lucas and the writer, went to David McCloskey's, on Beech creek. The writer was watching at the creek with John Shank, of Howard town- ship when 1 saw a deer coming down the creek towards us, but it did not know anything f us. Shank had leaned his gun against tree, and was gathe BON vood to put on the fire wie made, the weather be- ing quite cold; I called to him to gel ready to shoot as the deer was com- Ing. He took his gun and we wait- ed till it was near enough, and we both fired-—his ball passing through the deer near the shoulder, and my buckshot breaking its neck: I waded Into the creek and brought the deer out; it was shot so dead that ft scarcely moved after it fell » November 16 889, Joe Bauman, J) Kinney.
