His wife and. daughter fear for his life and beg him not to indulge in such a dangerous sport. But Blink is determined to show his skill as a hunter and promises to bring home a deer's head to hang over the dining room door. Mrs. Blink receives a letter from him shortly after his departure, telling of a terrific encounter he has had with a large deer, and that he has shipped the head and antlers to her as proof of his success. In reality, Blink has a very unhappy trip. He trails a small calf which has strayed away from a neighboring farm, and finally shoots it. The farmer explains that the calf is his property and is not a deer, much to Blink's disgust, especially when he pays a handsome price for the calf. Undaunted, he renews his efforts to bag big game, and after taking several shots at his guide, who in the distance looks like a deer to Blink, he succeeds in shooting the guide's hat from his head. A fall in the lake from which he is rescued after nearly drowning, completes his experiences, and the account be gives his wife and family of his wonderful success, makes him a conquering hero in his own home.
