"While we
were at the other camp those fellows came here and fixed things up as
you see!"
CHAPTER XIX
ANOTHER HUNT AFTER DEER
All unconscious of what was taking place during their absence, Snap
and his chums went on their way, in the direction in which Shep had
spotted the deer.
Having learned a few points from Jed Sanborn, they kept to the trail
and made sure that the wind was not blowing from them to the game
they hoped to lay low.
It was a rough and laborious climb up the mountainside, and once
they missed the trail and got into a pocket so that they could go
no further. Then, on turning back, Shep saw two magnificent wild
turkeys and was strongly tempted to bring one of them down.
"If you do, you'll scare the deer sure," said Whopper.
"I know it but if we miss the deer I'll be sorry I didn't take
this shot."
"Well, that's the gamble in hunting," put in Giant. "I saw a
rabbit awhile ago I could have had for the asking."
Having gotten out of the pocket, they went on once more, and shortly
before noon reached a knob of the mountain.
