A NEW BRUNSWICK HUNT 



THE Province of New Brunswick, in the 

 neighborhood of the Tobique River, 

 was once noted as a favorite resort for cari- 

 bou, but for some reason this fickle, migratory 

 animal has become somewhat scarce in that 

 locality. The moose has become more abun- 

 dant. Various reasons are given for the 

 diminishing number of caribou and the in- 

 crease of moose, but I do not undertake to 

 explain the cause of the change. There are 

 certainly quite a number of moose in the 

 country, and if one is not too eager to shoot 

 the first chance he gets, and will wait till he 

 sees a good head, a hunt of several weeks 

 ought to secure satisfactory results. The law 

 allows a sportsman only one moose, and that 

 fact should make him careful about bagging 

 anything which comes in sight.
