Pure greyhounds of great size and courage are best adapted for this sport. They cannot afford to lose speed by a cross with slower hounds. Newera Ellia The Turn-out for Elk-Hunting Elk-Hunting Elk turned to Bay The Boar. Where shall I begin? This is a momentous question, when, upon glancing back upon past years, a thousand incidents jostle each other for precedence. How shall I describe them?
Excitement of Elephant-shooting An Unexpected Visitor A Long Run with a Buck Hard Work Rewarded A Glorious Bay End of a Hard Day's Work Bee-hunters Disasters of Elk-hunting Bran Wounded 'Old Smut's' Buck Boar at Hackgalla Death of 'Old Smut' Scenery from the Perewelle Mountains Diabolical Death of 'Merriman' Scene of the Murder.
Church had led almost as varied a life as Bucky himself, his career including incidents as far apart as exploring and elk-hunting in the Olympic Mountains, cooking in a lumber-camp, and serving as doctor on an emigrant ship. Woodbury Kane was given a commission, and also Horace Devereux, of Princeton.
But in elk-hunting it is scarcely possible to assist the hounds; a dozen different animals, or even a disturbed elk, may cross the scent in parts of the jungle where the cry of the hounds is even out of hearing. Again, an elk has a constant habit of running or swimming down a river, his instinct prompting him to drown his own scent, and thus throw off his pursuers.
The few descriptions that I have given of elk-hunting should introduce a stranger thoroughly to the sport.

The foregoing description of sporting incidents closed my first visit to Ceylon.
Elk venison is very good, but is at all times more like beef than English venison. The foregoing may be considered a general description of elk-hunting, although the incidents of the sport necessarily vary considerably. The boar is our dangerous adversary, and he is easily known by the character of the run. The hounds seldom open with such a burst upon the scent as they do with an elk.
Many of my cavalry friends in the past had insisted to me that the revolver was a better weapon than the sword among them Basil Duke, the noted Confederate cavalry leader, and Captain Frank Edwards, whom I had met when elk-hunting on the head-waters of the Yellowstone and the Snake.
The pack now in the kennel is as near perfection as can be attained for elk-hunting, comprising ten couple, most of whom are nearly thoroughbred fox-hounds, with a few couple of immense seizers, a cross between bloodhound and greyhound, and a couple of large wire-haired lurchers, like the Scotch deer-hound.
New legs, new feet, new everything, in a moment! fresh as though just out of bed; here we go tearing through the jungle like a buffalo, and as happy as though we had just come in for a fortune happier, a great deal. Nevertheless, elk-hunting is not a general taste, as people have not opportunities of enjoying it constantly.
