. The big game of North America. Its habits, habitats, haunts, and characteristics; how, when, and where to hunt it .. . n pursued by hounds; but a single one of these animalswill often kill several valuable dogs before himself yieldingto the combined attacks of the pack; and though the Pec-cary is not nearly so large or so powerful, and though notarmed with the great tusks of the Boar, yet he is equallyferocious, and when congregated in such great numbers, they wage a most bitter and bloody war on any foe bywhom they may be attacked. Hunting the Peccary in Old Mexico is certainly excit-ing enough for the average hunter. In the fall of 1880, Ileft Hermosilla, the ca^^ital of the State of Sonora, with aMexican guide, to prospect in the Sierra Madre Mountains.We had two pack-animals, two saddle-horses, and enoughj)rovisions to last forty days, except meat. Our route laydirectly across the mountains. We were well armed, myguide carrying a Long Tom, or Needle-gun, and a pair ofColts revolvers, wdiile I had a pair of 44 Colts and a 33-40Marlin repeater (which rifle, by the way, is my favorit^e forsmall game).. AT BAY. THE PECCAKY. 893 The first night out I was lucky enough to kill a largeMule Deer, but it proved to be i^oor. The next day weonly traveled about twenty-seven miles, and camped at asmall spring, well up in the mountains. We saw numbersof doves, and after we got our horses staked out I shot theheads off several of them, and we had a Spanish stew, which was very fine. Near the spring, we noticed well-beaten trails made by the Peccaries coming there for water.My guide insisted on goingup the mountain to capture oneof them, but I Avould not listen to it, knowing the dangerthere is in attacking a drove of them on their way to water. Early the next morning, we packed, and started Just asthe .sun was showing over the mountains. We had trav-eled about five miles, when my guide pointed to the oppo-site side of the canon we were traveling in, and aboutthree hundred yards
