A NEW BRUNSWICK HUNT 



late in the season. In the early part of the 

 season, say from the first of September to the 

 25th of October, there is little or no snow, 

 and at that time it is extremely difficult to get 

 any large game by stalking, for the ground 

 is covered with dry leaves and brittle wood, 

 which make considerable noise at every step. 

 At that season one must depend largely upon 

 canoe work and calling for moose, while 

 caribou and deer are then still more difficult 

 to hunt. 



Moose frequently come down to the water, 

 of which they are very fond, and in which 

 they bathe and wallow. Caribou are less apt 

 to frequent such spots. Calling is a favorite 

 method of bringing moose within range, but 

 great care has to be exercised, for a single 

 false note and your noble quarry, instead of 

 accepting an invitation to a funeral, which he 

 is to grace, will retire to a place of safety. 



When there are a few inches of snow on 

 the ground, hunting becomes more attractive
