CHAPTER VIII
GAMES AND ATHLETIC STANDARDS THE GAMES
By Ernest Thompson Seton, Chief Scout
Deer Hunting
The deer hunt has proved one of our most successful games.
The deer is a dummy, best made with a wire frame, on which soft hay is wrapped till it is of proper size and shape, then all is covered with open burlap. A few touches of white and black make it very realistic.
If time does not admit of a well-finished deer, one can be made of a sack stuffed with hay, decorated at one end with a smaller sack for head and neck, and set on four thin sticks.
The side of the deer is marked with a large oval, and over the heart is a smaller one.
