Henry dressed and hung the deer. Then he crossed theridge to a farm house where he engaged the farmer to haulhis deer back to camp.

Comment. This writer can find no criticism to offer. Henrydid a splendid job all the way through. He had made theproper preparations; he had reasons to believe a buck wouldbe in the buckwheat; he made the proper approach; he cor-rectly sized up the situation; he made a masterly stalk; whilehe made an error in judging the distance, his second arrowwas correctly delivered; he was correct in waiting nearly anhour; he did a good job of trailing the stricken deer; hewas correct in dressing the deer; he used his head and savedhis back by getting the farmer to haul the deer to camp.
