THE LAST BUFFALO HUNT. ‘THE PURSUIT OF THE PRONGHORN ‘The True Inwardness of an Exploit— & Bucking Broncho and a Dead Wuck —The Extirmimation of the Antelope. BY WILLIAM T. HORNADAY. Author of “Two Years in the Jungle.” Copyright, 1887, All rights reserved. if you will promise not to betray me, I will tell you how I began my carver as an antelope hunter. Up to this moment not a living soul besides myselt knows the true inwardness of that exploit, and I Wouldn't have the boys find it out for the world. ‘So mum's the word, now. On our way to the buffalo country we saw no antelope until two days’ travel from Miles City, which shows how fast they are being exterm!- nated. When the frst bunch was sighted, of course we were all eagerness to get some fresh meat out of it, and It fell to me totake the shot. I stalked the bunch very cleverly, I must admit, with the rear sight of my Winchester elevated to 300 yards, as being the supposed distance from my chosen firing point to the herd. Well, when I finally looked over the brow of the hill, I found I was within 100 yaras of my game.’ In my eagerness to get a pair of ‘Savory antelope hams, as well as to let the men ‘see that I , even though all hands were gaping at n forgot the elevation I had given my ‘& beautiful chanee, for Whe antelope perfectiy still and looked absorbedly at the Wagon, away off tomy right. I drew up carefully, aimed for the finest buck and Danged away. I Suppose my bullet flew about a f90t above hisshoulders, possibly two, and away Went our intenued ham’ ‘There was no secret about that tn all consetence. Iewas a palpable, disgusting, humiliating tallure, ad all the boys Saw it. It was in the retrieving ‘of my reputation that there hangs a tale. ‘We camped that night at the Ked Buttes, the only water for fifteen miles around, and therefore g00d place for antelope. As we pulled out the Next morning, and headed straight for the buttes, saw the soidier who was riding in advance sud- denly dismount from his mule and beckon wildly Yor me to come on. Putting my horse at a gallop soon reached him, and then he told me ‘there Were two antelope dn the other side of the butte. ‘Tninklng more of retrieving my reputation than of meat I quickly dismounted, left my horse and utole up the steep, rocky side of the butte Private Moran indicated. '“No more nonsense with ele- ‘vated sights now, if you please!” I said to myself severely. To fail this time would be disaster. 1 reached the top and cautiously over the Dut saw no antelope. I looked west: no antelope. I looked gums! there they were, in full the level top of & butte as high looking straight at me, and only a hun ay. One of them stood a beautiful mark, and in an my shoulder and pointing heart region, just behin ra he upon the avis Private Moran from below. the air of a conqueror I went to antelope, which was a young buck, and a few gloats over him. “Now,” Pye done it. That was a neat piece of makes up for yesterday's affair.” Pres- urred to me to look aud see if my ne squarely through the heart. The pped very sudden to be shot through it seemed tome. ‘There was no bul iid the fore leg at all! Norhad Istruck the anywhere—nor even theneck. My bullet ck the buck just one wich behind the eye, squarely through the brain! Oh, degra It was a clean miss of two feet from what tried to hit, It actually made me feel sick at the stomach to think of it, “If there uad been any ‘Umber in that country 1 would have sneaked of and got into it, out of sight. In a few minutes the wagons came up, and all the boys fell to saying pieasant and compli- mentary things, to show that yesterday's score ‘Was wiped out.” And some one said: “That was adead shot, sure. Do you always aim for the brain?” “Well, no,—that 1s, not exactly always. But I ranted to ‘kill this’ fellow so dead he couldn't ‘The boys never once ted me; and I sat Gown on a stone and felt as if I had stolen a sheep. Itis only fair to say that I also killed the mate to this antelope first shot.

Had it not been for his foolish curtosity he would not have come to grief, but Thanks to that, and my good luck, we had ‘fresh Meat enough tr three whole days, ‘Were it not that the antelop2 are disappearing So fast, the pursuit of the pronghorn in October and November would be very fine sport, Its suc- ‘cessful prosecution calis for adroltness in stalking and skill in lonc-range shooting under very try- Ang circumstances. But where is the true sports- man or naturalist who can bring down a prong- horn pow without a pang of regret, and the feeling that he ts heiping to “Kill off tle species? Not here, at all events. It ts alas! only too true that the ‘nimble-iooted prairie rover, whose graceful torm is even yet the gladdest sightthat meets the eye of the piainsman, isonly a tew days behind@the Duffalo on the road ‘to extermination. And low @oubly desolate will those bicak prairies seem without Lim. ‘Take away from those vast soli- ‘ades the few antelope that still enliven it a little, and What desolation will remain. The buffalo, ny gPEEREepees aie Su fets it hung under his body, and then he got satisfac- tion ont of it, He Kickéd It until 1 Was not worth While to kick It any more, and then we untied the Topes and took It away from him, It looked as if haa been run turougi a thresbing-machine. It Was a total wreck, unfit foranything except hash, ‘and not first-class for that. From first to last we killed about thirty ante- lope, every one of which we made use of, ei @ spechnen, or as food, or both. We could have Killed double that number of head very easily, Scaree though they were, but we never took oné unless we wanted 1t for some specific purpose. From spring until December the bands are broken ub into pairs or larger parties up a dozen in Duin ber. With the Degianthg of winter, or about De- cember Ist, they gather in large sometimes of 300 head of more, and remain so'during the winter. Where there were herds of 200 head a few years ago we saw none larger than thirty or forty, and they grow smaller every year. When there is snow on the ground it ts almost impossible to see a herd unless ‘It is in motion, or outlined against the horizon, and the hunter nis skill {axed to the utmost to win success. When there 13 no snow, however, the snow-white rump of @ Pronghorn is conspichous a mile distant. ‘Thanks to the eternal weariness of the antel and his keenness of vision, combined with the speed and staying powers of his limbs, he has out lived his comrades of the plains, the buffalo, elk and deer. He will last a number of years yet, but his days are numbered just the same. ‘The bréech- loaders will exterminate him also unless some- thing decided 1s done at once for his preservation. Had his hide been worth a dollar there would be only one alive where there are now twenty. But his flesh ts the greatest dainty the prairie affords, 855, 0% the forest either, for that matter, and It Year round.
