MISSOURI AND ARKANSAS, 



THE PARADISE OF THE 



HUNTER ^ FISHERMAN 



As the season approaches when the h)ver of the gun 

 and rod anxiously consults the calendar which will once 

 more legitimize this favorite sport, he asks himself with 

 perplexity: Where shall I go this year? Where can I 

 tind a place which will fit my time, my pocket and my 

 inclination ? 



To enable either the deciple of Nimrod or Sir Isaac 

 VValton to choose a place where he can regale himself 

 with the pleasure of hunting and fishing to his heart's 

 delight, we have completed accurate information as to 

 the different resorts in Missouri and Arkansas, Avhere 

 good hotel and camiiing accommodations can be found 

 with the character of the game and fish incident to such 

 locality and means of reaching the same from St. Louis. 



MISSOURI is still furnisiiing a very large propor- 

 tion of the game for the markets of all the larger cities 

 o-f the United States. From October 15th to February 

 *Jlst of every year, there is not an express car arriving 

 in St. Louis which does not bring large consignments ot 

 game. Deer are numerous in the thinly settled moun- 

 tainous districts, and also in the swampy districts of the 

 southeastern part of the State. These lands and the 

 Ozark mountains consititute the gi'eat deer park and 

 game preserve. Game in the Ozarks, of all kinds, is most 

 plentiful . It is joy to the Sportsman on arriving in this 

 country to see the skins of deer and wild cats, foxes and 

 minks, hanging on the posts in front of country stores,
