A number of valuable but rather expensive lessons in
sportsmanship were learned by James Cook of Bend and
Lew Tillock of Bay View a few days ago but undoubted
ly the most important was—when hunting deer at night
with a spotlight make sure that you do not shoot your
own goat July 3 Mr. Tillock and Mr. Cook went into
the wilds of Upper Drift creek in Lincoln county on a
combined hunting and fishing trip. They had neither
hunting or angling licenses but the matter did not con
cern them as aid the fact that while gone they would be
without milk. To solve the latter problem they took a
milk goat, which one of them owned, tied her in the back
of one of the automobiles, went into the mountains and
established camp. When darkness came they set forth
from camp equipped with a flashlight and rifle in search
for deer. Their quest was unsuccessful and upon re
turning and nearing camp they heard a noise in the
brush. One of the hunters flashed the light and saw two
eyes in the brush. The other fired between the eyes and
the animal fell dead. The chagrin of both was great
when they found their milk goat had broken free from
its rope and became the victim of the rifle shot. Neigh
bors heard the shot and investigated. Deputy game war
den Price Hearing got on the job and arrested Tillock.
Cook escaped and made his way back to Bend where
he was later taken into custody. Cook pleaded guilty
to hunting deer at night with a flashlight and paid a
fine of $200.00 and costs. Tillock was unable to pay
his fine and went to jail. We are only too sorry that
both did not go to jail, and surely this type of human
being should never be able to secure either a hunting
or angling license within the state of Oregon.
