He saw two saplings growing about three feet apart aroundwhich grew a cluster of honeysuckle, but these bushes wereonly about waist high. He lashed a branch from one saplingto the other and another branch to a bush in the rear. Hedraped his slicker over this framework and covered it withbrush. He walked up and down the trail and looked it over;it looked natural enough. This gave him shelter as well asconcealment. After making some final adjustments so that hehad an opening through which he could watch and shoot, hegot in a position to wait.
