MAGNA. Nov. Wnh.t is be fievod by sportsmen of this see tion to be one of the finest specimens of deer ever bronght from the west mountain range was kilKd by H. C Smith, superintendent of the Magna plant or the I'tah top-Vor top-Vor eonipany, the first day of the open season, at a point near Pishrr pass, which is but five miles from the Lincoln Lin-coln highway. The deer, when dressed, weighed 170 pounds, and the head, which was n magnificent specimen for trophy mounting, mount-ing, was topped with four-prong ant-Vrs, ant-Vrs, designating the age of the doer as four years. An" unusunl feature connected with the killing of the buck, according to Mr. Smith, who has had more than eight years ' experience at his Eie hunting, was the manner in which the accompanying doe appeared to protect her mate. This, of rourse, whs not in teutionnl, said Mr. Smith, but was B rather peculiar coincidence, for, contrary con-trary to the 0118 ton of deer, the doe was leading the buck. She was directly in line between the hunter and the male deer as they raced down the ridge, thus making B shot rrtther risky until more of the larger nninal should be exposed. It was not until the game had readied a point more than ion yards away that Mr. Smith was able t o get an open shot, which proved to bo an effective one. Mr. Smith and his two companions, D. L. Wilson, master mechanic of the Magna plant, and K. U. Tempest, con stiftt ion -engineer of the Arthur plant, selected as their hunting grounds t.. region alout five miles north of Fisher pass of the West mountain ranLTv. According to these men, this is ideal doer country, with game plentiful. This fact is attMted by Hie fact that the (three hunters left Samp at ?:)" in the morning and the first came Was ''jumped''' and killed at about 10:30, only three hours later, anil not more than five miles from camp. |
