MOOSE HUNTING IN CANADA 
By THE EARL OF DUNRAVEN 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 521) 
no notice of all these natural sounds; but 
if a man breaks a twig, or, treading on a 
dry stick, snaps it on the ground, the 
moose will distinguish that sound from the 
hundred voices of the storm, and be up 
and away in a second. 
W HY it is that the moose has devel¬ 
oped no peculiarity with regard to 
his feet, adapting him especially to 
the country in which he dwells, while the 
caribou that shares the woods and barrens 
with him has done so in a remarkable de¬ 
gree, I will leave philosophers to decide. 
In the caribou, the hoofs are very broad 
and round, and split up very high, so that, 
when the animal treads upon the soft sur¬ 
face of the snow, the hoofs spreading out 
form a natural kind of snow-shoe and pre¬ 
vent its sinking deep. The frog becomes 
absorbed toward winter, so that the whole 
weight of the animal rests upon the hoof, 
the edges of which are as sharp as a knife, 
and give the animals so secure a foothold 
that they can run without fear or danger 
on the slippery surface of smooth glare 
ice. Now the moose, on the contrary, is 
about as awkward on the ice as a shod 
horse, and will not venture out on the 
frozen surface of a lake if he can help it. 
His feet are rather small and pointed, and 
allow him to sink and flounder helplessly 
in the deep snows of midwinter and early 
spring. 
There are several ways in which the 
moose is hunted'; some legitimate and some 
decidedly illegitimate. First of all there is 
moose-calling, which to my mind is the 
most interesting of all woodland sports. 
It commences about the beginning of Sep¬ 
tember, and lasts for about six weeks, and 
consists in imitating the cry of the female 
moose, and thereby calling up the male. 
This may sound easy enough to do, espe¬ 
cially as the bull at this season of the year 
loses all his caution, or the greater part 
of it. But the pastime is surrounded by 
so many difficulties, that it is really the 
most precarious of all the methods of pur¬ 
suing or endeavoring to outwit the moose; 
and it is at the same time the most ex¬ 
citing. I will endeavor to describe the 
method by giving a slight sketch of the 
death of a moose in New Brunswick woods 
last year. 
T was early in October. We had pitched 
our tents—for at that season of the year 
the hunter dwells in tents—upon a beau¬ 
tiful hard-wood ridge, bright with the 
painted foliage of birch and maple. The 
weather had been bad for calling, and no 
one had gone out, though we knew there 
were moose in the neighborhood. We had 
cut a great store of firewood, gathered 
bushels of cranberries, dug a well in the 
swamp close by, and attended to the thou¬ 
sand and one little comforts that experi¬ 
ence teaches one to provide in the woods, 
and had absolutely nothing to do. The 
day was intensely warm and sultry, and 
if any one had approached the camp about 
noon he would have deemed it deserted. 
All hands had hung their blankets over the 
tents, by way of protection from the sun, 
and had gone to sleep. About one o'clock 
I woke and sauntered out of the tent to 
stretch my limbs and take a look at the 
sky. I was particularly anxious about the 
weather, for I was tired of idleness, and 
had determined to go out if the evening 
offered a tolerably fair promise of a fine 
night. To get a better view of the heavens, 
I climbed to my accustomed look-out in a 
comfortable fork near the summit of a 
neighboring pine, and noted with disgust 
certain little black shreds of cloud rising 
slowly above the horizon. To aid my in¬ 
decision I consulted my dear old friend, 
John Williams, the Indian, who, after the 
manner of his kind, stoutly refused to give 
any definite opinion on the subject. All 
that I could get out of him was “Well, 
dunno; mebbe fine, mebbe wind get up; 
guess pretty calm, perhaps, in morning 
Suppose we go and try or, p’r’aps mebbe 
wait till tomorrow.” Finally I decided to 
go out; for although, if there is the slight¬ 
est wind, it is impossible to call, yet any 
wise and prudent man, unless there are 
unmistakable signs of a storm brewing, 
will take the chance; for the calling season 
is short and soon over. 
I have said that an absolutely calm night 
is required for calling, and for this reason: 
the moose is so wary, that, in coming up to 
the call, he will invariably make a circle 
down wind in order to get scent of the 
animal which is calling him. Therefore, if 
there is a breath of wind astir, the moose 
will get scent of the man before the man 
had a chance of seeing the moose. A calm 
night is the first thing necessary. Second¬ 
ly, you must have a moonlight night. N® 
moose will come up in the daytime. You 
can begin to call about an hour before sun¬ 
set, and moose will answer up to say two 
hours after sunrise. There is very little 
time, therefore, unless there is bright 
moonlight. In the third place, I scarcely 
need to observe that to call moose success¬ 
fully you must find a place near camp 
where there are moose to call, and where 
there are not only moose, but bull moose; 
not only bull-moose, but bulls that have 
not already provided themselves with con¬ 
sorts ; for if a real cow begins calling, the 
rough imitation in the shape of a man has 
a very poor chance of success, and may 
as well give it up as a bad job. Fourthly, 
you must find a spot that is convenient, for 
calling, that is to say, a piece of dry 
ground, for no human being can lie out all 
night in the wet, particularly in the month 
of October, when it freezes hard toward 
morning. You must have dry ground, well 
sheltered with trees or shrubs of some 
kind, and a tolerably open space around it 
for some distance; open enough for you 
to see the bull coming up when he is yet a 
little distance, but not a large extent of 
open ground, for no moose will venture 
out far on an entirely bare exposed plain. 
He is disinclined to leave the friendly 
shelter of the trees. A perfect spot, there¬ 
fore, is not easily found. Such are some 
of the difficulties which attend moose-call¬ 
ing and render it a most precarious 
pastime. Four conditions are necessary,
