Chapter XVII
THE RIVAL CAMPERS It was no light matter to get the three deer down to the lake shore. The old hunter showed the boys how to lash the game to long poles, resting the poles on their shoulders as they walked along. "I believe I'll take the buck to town," said Jed Sanborn. "I can get a good price for him there." "Will you take one of the deer home for us?" asked Snap, after consulting with his fellow-members of the gun club.
