After years of being left at home on opening day of deer season, Lena finally persuaded Ole to take her along, and they set off into the North Woods together.
"I'll put you in this tree, and you can shoot the deer when it comes by", Ole explained. "But be careful; there are a lot of unscrupulous hunters in these parts, and they'll snatch the deer from you if they get a chance, especially when they see you're a woman. So if you do bag yourself a deer, fire three quick shots in the air, and I'll come to you right away."
So Ole goes off on his own, and, sure enough, a while later he hears a couple of shots from Lena's direction followed by three more quick shots. He heads off towards Lena when his worst fears are realized: another shot rings out. He rushes on to find Lena holding her rifle on a terrified man.
"This guy tried to steal my animal, he did", cried Lena.
"Please, mister", said the tremulous man, his frightened eyes staring down Lena's rifle barrel, "tell her she can keep the animal. I'd just like to get my saddle back."
