OF THE MOOSE. 



The endurance of the animal is such 

 that only the hardiest of hunters can 

 hope to overtake him in a stern chase 

 when he has once become alarmed. 

 The broad, palmate antlers are a distin- 

 guishing feature, and happy is the hunter 

 who can boast the possession of a head 

 as a trophy taken from an animal killed 

 by himself. While few are successful 

 in this respect the greater majority must 

 be content with perhaps a view of his 

 lordship at a distance. 



Still hunting, or stalking the moose 

 in his native wilds, is a branch of sport 

 successfully followed by none except the 

 skilled woodsmen and hardy hunter. 

 The fatigue and countless obstacles to 

 be met with are such that comparatively 

 few amateur sportsmen attempt it.
