On this day, John had twice failed to use good strategy.While speaking of strategy, I will tell of an experience thatnetted a nice buck for an old archer friend. He was still hunt-ing one morning when he heard and then saw a group con-sisting of three doe and two bucks moving along a ridge.They were out of bow range and were traveling down wind.He knew that something was amiss as traveling downwind issomething deer very seldom do. He reasoned that the deerwould not travel far in that direction; they probably hadsome definite thing to do, such as going to water, and wouldreturn as soon as the errand was accomplished. He made hisway to the ridge as quickly and as quietly as possible andconcealed himself where he could watch the trail.
