It is one of the few luxuries that I still have left from my boy hood—that is, when I can find the necessary “mazuma” with which to purchase the licenses—about every other luxury has become too expensive for me and I just have to day dream about them. I have spent enough money in the last fifteen years on guns, dogs and hunting equipment to buy a nice farm mule, but I don’t regret it. I know of no other way in which I could have gotten so much pleas ure—and misery—for the money spent. I have been well repaid for every penny I spent, not in mater ial things but in things that have meant much to my body, my spirit and my mind.

Just how fast he has learned will be shown by this little Incident that happened the other day. I de cided I wanted to do a little target practicing with a .22 rifle. He wanted to go along of course, and we went down to the rivershore. I loaded the rifle, took careful aim and fired at a stake out in the river. The bullet kicked up a lot of water about a yard from the stake for which it was intended. I thought nothing of it. It was about par for my shooting. I started to put the rifle to my shoulder for another shot at the elusive stake (the wind was blowing and the stake was waving about). “Just a minute,” said that young pop- squirt at my side who had observ ed my every move as well as where the bullet meant for the stake had hit the water, “It’s my shot now, you had yours.” That kinda made me feel good. He ought to know if his daddy, who had been shooting for years, couldn’t hit the stake he had very little chance of doing so. I handed him the rifle with that “holier- than-thou” expression on my face and waited. Very deliberately he raised the rifle and took aim. Pow! Pluck! I’ll be darned if he didn’t put that bul let squarely in the center of that stake. He nonchalantly handed the rifle over to me. It was my shot again. I knew he had hit the stake only by accident: I didn’t say any thing, but was doubly careful in drawing the bead that time. Again the bullet struck the water and not the stake. But I handed him the rifle for his shot. I wanted to know for himself that the first shof was an accident and that he ed feat; they’ve been hung on more than one strand of barbed wire.
