HABITS, HAUNTS, AND ANECDOTES 



It is a country of hill and dale, cedar 

 swamps, hardwood ridges, and barrens, 

 where the blueberry, the hackmatack, 

 and here and there stunted tamaracks 

 break the general sweep of waste coun- 

 try. Along these barrens the moose 

 loves to roam. Here he finds the moss 

 of which he is so fond, and here, too, he 

 gets the young shoots of various shrubs 

 on which he feeds. He can also keep 

 a weather eye on the approach of danger, 

 and as he feeds, he occasionally throws 

 his massive head in the air, and takes a 

 sudden and piercing glance around the 

 landscape. If satisfied, he gives a short 

 grunt of evident pleasure and proceeds 

 with his feeding. 



The best horns are secured in the 

 months of late October, November, and
