"I believe you are right, and if so we may get a shot," answered
Giant.
"Yes, a shot---but not until after we have used our cameras,"
answered the doctor's son. "Don't forget the first object of this
outing---to get some good pictures."
"Right you are, Shep; I forgot. But we must shoot the deer---after
we have our photos."
"Better sight the game first," came from Snap.
With the thoughts of bringing down one or more deer filling their
minds, the boy hunters did not care so much about making a camp for
the night. If necessary, they knew they could erect their tent
anywhere, and take it down again in the morning. Even the prospect
of rain did not daunt them.
"Let us hurry," said Shep. "If we reach the deer we want to do it
while it is light enough to take some pictures."
With their cameras and guns ready for use, they went on, Tommy
cautioning the dog to be silent. Wags seemed to understand and
even acted as if he might lead them to the game. But he was not
trained, so they took no chances on this.
Deep in a hollow they came upon the unmistakable hoofmarks of three
deer.
