We pierced thick forests and forded many streams whose clear water was very cool. Our dogs went ahead of us. Once in a while a deer would come out of the tall talahib and would be met with a shot. That night we spent most of our time in salting the venison. The following morning, we hunted again. We bagged many more, for the place is noted for its game. When we finally went home, we had to employ six carabaos to carry our quarry.
