The season for Deer, Moose, Caribou, 
Sheep, etc., opens within a few days. 
Are you prepared to get the full value 
of the short season, allowed by law, for 
their killing? 
Have you selected a rifle, and, do you 
know for a certainty that it is the best 
arm made for the purpose? 
Have you gone thoroughly into the 
question of ammunition? There’s a big 
difference in charges required for vari¬ 
ous kinds of game. 
How about your sights? Have they 
been expertly selected and properly ad¬ 
justed? Deer shooters have gone wrong 
a whole season, because they didn't re¬ 
sight and adjust before starting into the 
woods. 
Do you know just what equipment is 
essential for a big-game hunt? 
Do you know the best big-game terri¬ 
tory, reached by the path of least resist¬ 
ance? Lots of shooters have come home, 
discouraged and disappointed, because 
they went to the poorest shooting coun¬ 
try by the path of greatest resistance. 
Do you know a good guide when you 
see one? Guides look pretty much alike, 
until you see them work. You can’t 
change horses in the middle of the stream, 
nor can you change guides in the middle 
of the forest. 
Adopt the ounce of prevention treat¬ 
ment and get the right guide before you 
start. 
All this brings you right back to me, 
because my department has, for thirty 
odd years, made a specialty of just such 
problems as are contained in the above 
remarks. 
Year after year our experts study shoot¬ 
ing conditions, new makes of guns and 
ammunition, changes in game laws, ad¬ 
justments in the shooting map. 
We know what arms have been suc¬ 
cessful, and under what conditions the 
same equipment has been an utter failure. 
You do not need to go to the time and 
expense of working these problems out— 
Ask us. 
We are incessant in our efforts to make 
the path of least resistance accessible to 
our readers.
