HABITS, HAUNTS, AND ANECDOTES 



More frequently the animal is driven to 

 the water by the guides and woods- 

 men, or attracted to such localities by 

 calling. 



In Northern Maine and in the Cana- 

 dian Provinces, the moose is often hunted 

 during early winter by pursuing him on 

 snow-shoes. Jacking is often effectively 

 followed in mid-summer, along the lakes 

 and rivers. This method is considered 

 unsportsmanlike by those who possess 

 the requisite skill and endurance to adopt 

 the style of still hunting. 



In size and weight he exceeds that 

 of the horse, specimens having been 

 shot that weighed over twelve hundred 

 pounds and stood seven and one-half 

 feet to the shoulder. 



In the summer he is to be seen feed.
