Deer hunt ends with a tale of ten dollar bet
Silas and his companion chase a deer at night on the Big Run Way trail to Samson's Pond. A man named Bije Slocum appears with the deer meat, recalling a prior ten dollar bet for a shot at a deer and a disputed sport. Si repeats a cautionary moral as they head home.
