JDcer Licks.—A safe and sure method of hunting deer is to make what are known as deer licks. The well known appetite of the icer for salt famishes an opportunity for this sport. A stump or fallen log is chosen near where deer paths cross or are abundant, and in a somewhat open place, such as a windfall, where fallen trees and roots furnish a good blind, to screen the hunter. The blind is chosen on the windward side of the lick, so as to prevent the game from scenting the hunter. The deer frequent the licks in the early morning and about sun-down. At these times the hunter is at his stand prepared for work, and he is generally re- warded by a successful sliot for his patient waiting. The engrav- ing on page 277 represents the usual manner of hunting by means of a "lick,".
