on his knees, then bounded feebly away for some thirty yards,came to a halt and lay down. John waited for a while. Hecould see the deer through his glasses. He saw its head godown. He watched it for some time and concluded it wasdead. He stalked the stricken animal with caution until hewas within 20 feet of it. He drew an arrow to the head andwhistled. The deer did not move. He approached it closer but.with extreme caution until he could see its eyes; they had puton the glassy stare of death.
John dressed the deer and examined the wound. He foundthat his broadhead had all but cut the heart in two; it hadranged forward and completely severed the aorta. The arrowhad contacted heavy muscular and bony structure in the op-posite shoulder; it had not gone completely through.
