us up the Mountain to hunt deere it was snowing hard, we
travelled up the mountain some 2 Miles and started up a
herd of about 20 deer, but they ran over the Hills to far to shuit
at them. we soon saw six others standing on the side of the
Hill abot a quarter of a Mile from ^us^ they stood & looked at us
some 20 Minuts, there was a large gulf between us which
was difficult to cross which detained me so long that
they left before I could get a shot at them. We saw
another one standing in a grove of small underwood but
to far to shoot. It was thought that if we had gone half a
mile further onto the top we would have found a good many
Deer, but it was snowing so hard that it was thought best to
return. in going down the Mountain it was so steep that
I cam near falling over the Horses head several times
But we got down in safety & dined with Owen Smith then
crossed the Bottuom to Br Irons distance of the day 25 M[iles]
