FOREST AND STREAM 
JUNE, 1917 
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. f 
THE BEST TROUT FISHING 
in the world is in the Province of Que¬ 
bec, and so are the best Guides both for 
fishing and hunting. Read Henry van 
Dyke’s description of some of them in 
“Little Rivers.” 
Would you like to own 
A Summer Camp 
for your family, by a forest-clad stream 
or mountain-surrounded lake? 
You can build one of your own, by leas¬ 
ing a fishing and hunting territory from 
the Government of the Province, whether 
a resident of it or not, or by joining one 
of the many fish and game clubs. 
Write for all particulars concerning fish¬ 
ing and hunting rights, fish and game laws, 
guides, etc., to

Mines and Fisheries,

BIG GAME HUNTING 
Heads guaranteed. I’ am in the best big game 
country in the Northwest. Located in the Rocky 
Mountains South of Glacier Park. I am where 
the game is. Have hunted the territory for years. 
Will guarantee bear in Spring and Elk in season. 
Have finest trout fishing in the world. Have no 
other business but hunting and guiding and will 
furnish be?t of references from people from all 
parts of the world who have been out with me.

A HANDY CARTRIDGE CASE 
Ever want another cartridge right to 
hand, quick—when your single-shot missed 
fire or the last one in the magazine “went 
dead” ? There generally isn’t time to 
rustle through your side pocket—or even 
to grab one from your belt, for you may 
have forgotten how far around they are 
used up. Wouldn’t it be handy to have 
one right there at your hand, in a pocket 
on the side of the gunstock? 
It’s easy to make such a little butt-mag¬ 
azine. The illustration shows plainly its 
construction. Any piece of good stout 
leather is suitable for the case—a piece of 
an old hunting shoe will do as well as any 
other, and two pieces can be sewed to¬ 
gether if necessary. 
The case illustrated will contain the num¬ 
ber of .22 caliber cartridges shown and fit 
conveniently on the average stock; by al¬ 
tering the height and width of the loops, 
it can be arranged for any other caliber, 
though the larger ones may require a sin¬ 
gle row instead of two. 
The eight small screws shown will hold 
the strips fast and the case securely on 
the stock. The fastener may be either an 
ordinary button securely sewed on, or a 
strong collar stud slipped through the 
leather before it is screwed tight. With 
good strong thread and careful workman¬ 
ship, such a case should resist all ordinary 
abuse and last indefinitely. 
TO CATCH STONE CATFISH 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I offer the following reply to Charles C. 
Rife’s question as to how to catch stone 
catfish, in the May Forest and Stream. 
To secure stone catfish—well' known as 
a bait for small mouth bass—arm yourself 
with a piece of gas pipe or an iron bar 
weighing about six pounds, and a piece 
of quarter-inch mesh wire about 18 inches 
square. Three sides of the wire should 
be turned up about two inches. 
Armed with these implements, visit a 
stony stream inhabited by stone catfish 
when the water is low. Wade up stream 
striking the flat stones with the end of the 
iron; this will stun the “catties,” and they 
will float out on raising the stone, and will 
float on to the wire screen—the screen, of 
course, having been placed back of the 
stone before striking with the iron. 
At first appearance the catfish seem to 
be dead, but they soon recover on being 
transferred to a pail of water. In the Big 
Bushkill creek, in Pike county, Penn., I 
have secured three dozen stone catfish in 
a morning; and then again I have spent a 
whole morning with a half dozen to show 
for my efforts. It is better for two per¬ 
sons to work this game—one to use the 
wire screen while the other strikes the 
stones. Philip Laurent.

HERE’S STILL ANOTHER WAY 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
In reply to Mr. Rife’s query in the May 
issue for a quick method of getting stone 
catties for bait, I can say that when fishing 
in the Delaware we used to go to the 
shoals at the heads of the rapids or rifts, 
and taking a small stone about the size of 
an apple, give smart blows on the top of 
the hardheads close to shore. Turning 
these over we would find one or two stone 
catfish lying beneath, stunned by the blow. 
They always recovered, and a little prac¬ 
tice showed how hard to hit the stones 
under which they lurk, so they would get 
lively almost as soon as we put them in 
our bait pails. 
A little experience teaches the “likely” 
places. They are found in water only a 
few-inches deep; one may get bait this 
way almost without getting the feet wet, 
but we preferred to take off shoes and 
stockings and paddle in the pleasant sun- 
warmed water for the fun of the thing. 
I never knew stone catties could be 
caught with hook and line.

HINTS ON A FISHING TRIP IN 
THE BIG HORN COUNTRY 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Will you kindly advise a reader of your 
publication who is contemplating a trip to 
Montana after the rainbows, as to time of 
year, weight of tackle, and kind and size 
of flies to obtain the best results; and if 
the ice is generally out of lakes by the 
latter part of May to June 1st; also, if 
heavier clothing is needed than generally 
used in Maine or the Adirondacks at that 
season of year. Also, do they have the black 
flies, as in the North Woods earlier in the 
season? 
Thanking you in .advance for your infor¬ 
mation, Harry C. Birch.
