WITH the duck and partridge season at hand and the 

 big-game shooting just ahead, where to go and how to 

 get there and what accommodations may be found 

 when the hunting ground is reached, puzzles many persons 

 who contemplate sport in Minnesota's wilds. The list printed 

 herewith, will be found accurate. The guides named are men 

 who know the haunts of game. It is an easy matter to go 

 into the woods and find game and kill it, but it's a different 

 problem to get out of the woods again and back to where 

 civilization begins and ends. The toll paid by men lost in 

 the forests is great. 



The charges made by .guides range all the way from $2.50 

 a day to $5, according to what they furnish in the way of 

 camp supplies. 



The "Best Place" Is Scattered all Over the Northern Section 

 of the State. 



No person who hunts, ever attempts to tell which is "the 

 best" place to go. All of Northern Minnesota, it may be said, 

 furnishes game abundantly. Besides the names and places 

 mentioned in the list printed herewith, it might be suggested 

 that Hunters Lodge kept by C. M. Everett at the mouth of 

 the V-ermillion river on Vermillion lake, is a pleasant place 

 to go and the rates at the hotel are $2 a day. Goodwill's, 

 kept by I. Goodwill on Vermillion lake is another. A launch 

 goes to and from it from Tower each day. Joyce's Landing 

 on Vermillion lake, is a third. Rates at the hotel there are 

 $2 a day, and the steamer "Olive" calls every second day. 



Limited accommodations are offered by Lee Chosa on Bass- 

 wood lake. Mr. Chosa has launches on both Basswood and 

 Fall lakes, which make the trip from Winton to the head of 

 Knife lake. In addition to these, there are in that imme- 

 diate vicinity numerous lumber camps where hunters and 

 tourists may obtain lodging and meals. The companies 

 usually charge about 25 cents a meal and lodging is free.
