112 SPORT IN NORWAY. 



venison is best in August. I would recommend any 

 one who has a fancy to try what rein venison is like to 

 write word to Mr. Bennett, of Christiania, who I 

 am sure would, with his usual afiability, execute any 

 commission. There are few things better than a 

 venison steak before it has been frozen ; but this is only 

 to be had up the country, as the Bonder wait till the 

 frost has set in before sending it to the Christiania 

 market. 



One word of advice to novices, and I have done. 

 Do not shoot a deer before the 1st of August, and don't 

 take pot-shots at fabulous distances !
