forest we were to hunt in. Several people 

 at the Campbell River Hotel had asked me 

 if I knew what I was " up against " in deciding 

 to try for a wapiti. Some, including my men, 

 took a brighter view, and assured me that the 

 dense undergrowth was only on the coast, 

 and that as one got inland the forest became 

 more open. Had I known what I was really 

 " up against," I think I would have turned 

 back, for never have I endured greater dis- 

 comfort.
