Moose Heads 
of exceptional size were secured in the 
PROVINCE OF QUEBEC 
in September and October, 1916, 
several of them with antlers having a 
spread of five to six feet. 
The Bull Moose which attacked 
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was 
killed by him within fifty miles of the 
city of Quebec. 
Mrs. Hi. G. Campbell, Jr., of New 
York has a record of a black bear 
and a large bull moose at Lake 
Kiskisink. 
The big bull moose of Mayor Carter 
Harrison of Chicago was killed in 
Northern Quebec. 
Caribou and Deer 
are abundant in parts of Quebec 
Province. 
THE BEST TROUT FISHING

HOW TO CARRY A GUN 
The safest way to carry a gun is over 
the right shoulder, with the muzzle point¬ 
ing well up. 
The handiest way, where game may be 
flushed, is in the hollow of the left arm. 
This is a dangerous position. And you 
must be careful to see that your friend-— 
if you are hunting with a companion— 
is at your right hand. 
Never handle a gun so that it points 
toward yourself, your friend or your dog, 
or anything that you do not wish to de¬ 
stroy. If you want the fields to afford you 
sport without danger, cultivate a self-pos¬ 
sessed manner, and never under any con¬ 
ditions—either in earnest or in fun—point 
a gun, loaded or unloaded, at anything you 
do not wish to destroy. 
Make up your mind never to carry a gun 
in a position that, if an accident does ex¬ 
plode it, it will endanger the life of any liv¬ 
ing thing. If a companion is in the field 
with you, no matter how near a flushed 
bird may be, do not shoot until you know 
just where your companion is. Remember 
that while a stray shot may not kill, it may 
easily put out an eye. 
SIGHTS FOR THE TWENTY-TWO. 
Editor Forest and Stream : 
Your article, “The Little Twenty-Two,” 
in the March issue, is of great interest to 
me, being a strong advocate of the .22 auto¬ 
matic as the most companionable gun I 
know of. 
However, I wish to ask J. J. C. what 
sights he uses on his that enables him to 
perform so accurately at long ranges, as 
mentioned. 
One of my automatics is equipped with 
standard Winchester sights; the other with 
Lyman bead front No. 3, folding leaf rear, 
set for fifty yards, similar to that of the 
Winchester express and a Lyman peep com¬ 
bination. And although I have probably 
used 25,000 cartridges between the two 
guns, T could not say truthfully that I ever 
did any very accurate work at 200 yards. 
My average at a four-inch bull at 100 
yards, shooting 500 shots in one afternoon, 
was 91 per cent.; but I find I cannot do 
very well at much longer ranges with this 
arm, while at 500 yards, Creedmore target, 
using .35 Winchester, I showed 44x50 and 
43x50. 
If J. J. C. would be kind enough to ad¬ 
vise me regarding the sights used I would 
greatly appreciate it. Joseph V. Glynn.

SUBSTITUTE FOR TALLOWING 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
An esteemed correspondent, in your 
April number, offers an ordinarily imprac¬ 
tical substitute for the tallowing of shells. 
Few hunters have both twelve and ten- 
gauge shells for his method. He evidently 
confuses ordinary fat-tissue with tallow-fat 
—as different as are lard and beeswax. 
The hard tallow-tissues will harden, after 
melting, about a shot charge so firmly as 
to burst a choked barrel. The softer fats 
have little effect. 
I have used both, for years, in emer¬ 
gency hunting, and have sent a tallowed 
black-shell charge entirely through a fawn’s 
body, upon two occasions. Fesco T. Ford.

FOUND HIM A RIFLE. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I beg to thank you for publishing my 
letter relative to my desiring a Kentucky 
rifle, and, for your interest, beg to say 
that I received seven answers to it. 
With kindest regards, I remain,

ANOTHER RELOADED SHELL. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I should like to add my experience to 
that of V. E. Strayer, Fayette, Iowa, in 
re “rebuilt shells.” My plan is very sim¬ 
ple and was used with a 12-guage 28-inch 
barrel gun. 
I drew the shot from a shell containing 
22 grains of powder, then forced an un¬ 
crimped 16-gauge shell down on to the 
wads covering the powder charge. I then 
placed 21 shot that just chambered in a 16- 
gauge shell, put one thin wad on the shot, 
and recrimped. 
While grouse shooting with a couple of 
friends, one of our dogs put up a wild 
turkey and it ran into a large hemlock tree, 
and from there to the very top of a long 
bodied poplar, fully one hundred yards 
from where I stood. I drew out one of 
my 7L2 shot cartridges and put in one of 
my rebuilt cartridges with 21 shot. In 
aiming, the turkey looked very small at the 
distance, but two of these shots passed com¬ 
pletely through the bird and killed it in¬ 
stantly. 
I should have said I cut off the 16-gauge 
shell, even with the 12-guage, before plac¬ 
ing the 21 shot and recrimping. I now use 
a 16-gauge gun, and shall load some shells 
the same way by making use of No. 20 
shells for concentrators. 
The recrimping is rather a hard job— 
that is, to make a neat job of it. I don’t 
think the crimping necessary, however, un¬ 
less one should load both barrels of his 
gun, in which case the first shot is likely 
to jar the wad loose in the other barrel. 
Tallow will prevent this, no doubt.
