The Goheens were puzzled by this action and decided to take up the chase themselves. Coming in n leaning;r cedar tree they found dozz trarks all around it. Turning their eyes to the treetop, imagine their surprise to see a fox sitting in a crou- ('hmi (-ondition about 40 feet from the ground. The tree was quite steep and no branches on it. for about ten feet. The animal was a ‘sitting duck" so to speak for the hunters. Sam says he has hunted foxes for 35 years but this is a new experience for him. He has known them to go into a hole in the ground or a hollow log, but never be- fore had he knownlone to go up a tree.
