"On the day after my arrival, we set forth in search of them, each armed with a hunting-knife and a heavy deer-gun. We went afoot; we could not go otherwise, as the snow lay to the depth of a yard, and a horse would have plunged through it with difficulty. It was an old snow, moreover, thickly crusted, and would have maimed our horses in a few minutes.
The simplest and most common is that which is termed "still" hunting. In this, the hunter is armed with his rifle or deer-gun a heavy fowling-piece and steals forward upon the deer, as he would upon any other game. "Cover" is not so necessary as silence in such a hunt.
"Deadly indeed when the smoke blew aside, nearly half of the herd were seen lying quiet or kicking on the plain. "The rest remained as before! another ring of the long rifle, and another fell another double detonation of the heavy deer-gun, and several came to the ground; and so continued the alternate fire of bullets and shot, until the whole herd were strewn dead and dying upon the ground!
