Travels With Charley Day 6

Steinbeck continues his journey through Maine after his stay at Deer Isle.  He leaves Deer Isle and is reminded how large and how far north America goes up into Canada in Maine.  He is now traveling during the hunting season and is constantly reminded how dangerous it is.  Charley, who looks like a doe or buck, is outfitted with red tissue on his tail to keep from being shot at, to no avail.  Steinbeck is exaggerating quite a bit when talking about hunting because I went hunting with my grandpa once and everyone was very careful.  No one shot at anything they couldn't kill and they weren't sure was a deer.
