Rolf glanced at the sight, took steady aim, fired, and down went the buck behind a log.

Skookum whined and leaped high in his eagerness to see.
Rolf restrained his impatience to rush forward, at once reloaded, then all three went quickly to the place.

Before they were within fifty yards, the deer leaped up and bounded off.

At seventy-five yards, it stood for a moment to gaze.

Rolf fired again; again the buck fell down, but jumped to its feet and bounded away.
They went to the two places, but found no blood.
