Excerpt from Camping at Cherry Pond There were plenty of fish in Cherry Pond. We had caught them there many times, but at the time of which I write the season was closed for both speckled and lake trout, and, more over, we had brought no fishing tackle, so a fish diet was out of the discussion. It was early October, and the deer hunting season had opened on the first day of the month. We had come to hunt deer, but we had no thought of taking a mean advantage of the deer or of violating the game law by hunt ing him at night along the shores of the pond with a jack light. That would have been too easy, and in our opinion little short of murder. We proposed to be sporty and practice only the still hunting method. That would give the deer long odds and, so to speak, a run ning chance for his life. Under the prevailing conditions the chances were indeed about twenty to one in his favor.
