110 HOOFED ANIMALS 
In the autumn months the northeastern Moose hunter 
sometimes makes a horn of birch bark, conceals himself at 
nightfall beside a pond and imitates the call of the cow Moose 
until a bull is actually attracted within shooting distance. 
The cry of this animal is a prolonged, resonant bawl, ending 
in three or four hoarse grunts. 
The map on page 113 shows that the Moose is yet 
found in northern Maine, New Brunswick, Canada, Mani- 
toba, northern Minnesota, northwestern Wyoming, Idaho, 
British Columbia, Alberta, Athabasca, Yukon and Alaska. 
It shows only localities known to have been inhabited recently. 
In none of these, however, are Moose so abundant as in 
Alaska, around Cook Inlet. The southern limit of the Moose 
in North America is the head of Green River, Wyoming, 
latitude 43°, longitude 110° W., corresponding to the latitude 
of Albany, New York. 
Below Alaska the favorite hunting-grounds for Moose 
are Maine, New Brunswick, the upper Ottawa River country 
of Canada and northwestern Manitoba. In view of the 
great number of hunters—estimated at ten thousand—who 
annually hunt and fish in Maine, of whom a large proportion 
hold licenses that permit the killing of one bull, the per- 
sistence of the Moose in Maine is really wonderful. At the 
close of the past century the number of Moose transported 
by the railways of Maine was as follows:
