A Deer Hunt and What Came of It
A party of four including Jim Allen and the narrator hunted in Idaho in 1888 after a deer-killing ban expired. They camped by the South Boise river near Rocky Bar, with a boiling spring at their camp. They killed three deer the first day and prepared meat, selling some locally, while two larger hides remained unsold as heat threatened spoilage.
