Leaving camp on the way to the salt-lick. (From motion-picture film) HUNTING DEER IN THE ADIRONDACKS By Roy Chapman Andrews FOR eight miles through the Brand- reth Preserve in the Adiron- dacks, Shingle Shanty stream follows a winding, twisting course, at last losing itself in Lake Lila. Everywhere the stream is beautiful, its dark water, as a perfect mirror, reflecting the balsams, pines and feathery tamaracks of the virgin forest. Dark green alders form a thick curtain on either bank, some- times giving place to small, grassy meadows but clos- ing in again as the stream narrows, to lock hands across the water. During midsum- mer when the blaz- ing sun has dried the woods and the air is fragrant with the scent of balsam, deer wade into the stream to feed upon the succulent lily pads and grass which choke its course. 1 Through the courtesy of Colonel Franklin Brandretli and Mr. Frederick Potter, the Museum was granted the privilege of securing on their preserve at Brandreth Lake the specimens and accessories for a group of Virginia Deer. The Museum is also indebted to Mr. Courtenay Brandreth for the background study, a photo- graph of which is here reproduced.
