AMERICAN FORESTRY 



A BULL MOOSE FEEDING IN THE STUART RIVER 



This picture, taken with an ordinary camera near Lac la Croix, 

 shows that hunting with a camera is no myth. Just as bad a case 

 of buck fever can be developed while hunting this way as with a rifle. 



age, camp to be made at point near this carry to Loon 

 Lake. This is the farthest point out on this trip. 



Sixth Day. Loon Lake Portage to mainland oppo- 

 site Coleman's Island. If one prefers a very pleasant 

 camping place may be found on one of the many small 

 islands that dot the lake surface at this point. 



Seventh Day. To camp near Forest Service Boat- 

 house at inlet to Lac La Croix. This camping place is 

 an ideal spot from which to take several trips each of 

 one day's duration into the bays of and lakes near 

 La Criox. 



Eighth Day. To camp on Crooked Lake about two- 

 thirds of the distance from Curtain Falls to the Lower 

 Basswood Falls. Several large bays reach into the 

 land on the south side of this lake and offer interesting 

 cruises for the less hurried trip. 



Ninth Day. To upper Basswood Falls. The camp 

 that was occupied previously can be reached on this day's 

 trip and the same good fishing grounds can offer the 

 chance to secure a fresh pike steak caught from the 

 International waters. 



Tenth Day. From upper Basswood Falls to the finish 

 at the town of Winton on Fall Lake. Ely can be reached 

 by auto or train from this town, it being only a short dis- 



Lake. Several short portages 

 are encountered and the Pipe- 

 stone Falls are on the route. 

 Camp on Basswood Lake, 

 near the upper falls. An ex- 

 tra day here will afford time 

 to cruise around Basswood 

 Lake and return to the same 

 camp that night. 



Second Day. To Crooked 

 Lake and the lower Basswood 

 Falls. Several short portages 

 are needed to get around the 

 upper and Lower Falls. Be- 

 low each is a good place for 

 wall-eyed Pike and the larger 

 Northern Pike. 



Third Day. Down Crook- 

 ed Lake to Curtain Falls. A 

 good easy day's paddling with- 

 out portages except around 

 Curtain Falls. Pike fishing is 

 very good below this falls. 



Fourth Day. To Cole- 

 man's Island in Lac La Croix. 

 The Indian village is opposite 

 this island on the Canadian 

 side. If one plans to visit this 

 place a few tokens of friend- 

 ship should be taken along. 

 Gun. and tobacco do very 

 nicely for this. 



Fifth Day. Coleman's Is- 

 land to the Loon Lake port-
