He calls his hounds together and returns homeward, and afterwards sends men to cut the buck up and bring the flesh.

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.

The run is much slower; he runs down this ravine and up that, never going straight away, and he generally comes to bay after a run of ten minutes' duration.
A boar always chooses the very thickest part of the jungle as his position for a bay, and from this he makes continual rushes at the hounds.
The huntsman approaches the scene of the combat, breaking his way with difficulty through the tangled jungle, until within about twenty yards of the bay.

He now cheers the hounds on to the attack, and if they are worthy of their name, they instantly rush in to the boar regardless of wounds.
