MOOSE HUNTING IN CANADA 
(continued from page 568 ) 
and all four must be combined at one and 
the same time to ensure success. 
H AVING once determined to go out, 
preparations do not take long. You 
have only to roll up a blanket and 
overcoat, take some tea, sugar, salt and bis¬ 
cuit, a kettle, two tin pannikins, and a small 
ax, with, I need scarcely say, rifle and 
ammunition. The oufit is simple, but the 
hunter should look to everything himself, 
for an Indian would leave his head behind 
if it were loose. A good thick blanket is 
very necessary, for moose calling involves 
more hardship and more suffering from 
cold than any other branch of the noble 
science of hunting with which I am ac¬ 
quainted. It is true that the weather is- 
not especially cold at that time of year, 
but there are sharp frosts occasionally at 
night, and the moose caller cannot make a 
fire by which to warm himself, for the 
smell of smoke is carried a long way by 
the slightest current of air. Neither dare 
he run about to warm his feet, or flap his 
hands against his sides, or keep up the cir¬ 
culation by taking exercise of any kind, 
for fear of making a noise. He is sure to 
have got wet through with perspiration on 
his way to the calling place, which of 
course makes him mo-re sensitive to cold 
So I and the Indian shouldered oui 
packs, and started for the barren, follow¬ 
ing an old logging road. Perhaps I ought 
to explain a little what is meant by a "log¬ 
ging road” and a “barren.” A logging 
road is a path cut through the forest in 
winter, when the snow is on the groimd 
and the lakes are frozen, along which the 
trunks of trees or logs are hauled by horse 
or oxen to the water. A logging road is a 
most pernicious thing. Never follow one 
if you are lost in the woods, for one end 
is sure to lead to a lake or a river, which 
is decidedly inconvenient until the ice has 
formed; and in the other direction it will 
seduce you deep into the inner recesses of 
the forest, and then come to a sudden 
termination at some moss-covered, decayed 
pine stump which is discouraging. A 
“barren,” as the term indicates, is a piece 
of waste land; but, as all hunting grounds 
are waste, that definition would scarcely be 
sufficient to describe what a “barren” is. It 
means, in Nova Scotia and New Bruns¬ 
wick, an open marshy space in the forest, 
sometimes so soft as to be almost impas¬ 
sable ; at times composed of good solid hard 
peat or again rough and tussocky. 
I N Newfoundland, there are barrens of 
many miles in extent, high, and, com¬ 
paratively speaking, dry plateaus; but the 
barrens in the provinces I am speaking of 
vary from a little open space of a few 
acres to a plain or five or six miles in 
length or breadth. There has been a good 
deal of discussion as to the origin of these 
barrens. It appears to me that they must 
have been originally lakes, which have be¬ 
come dry by the gradual processes by which 
shallow waters become choked up and filled 
with vegetable debris. They have all the 
appearance of dry lakes. They are about 
the size of the numerous sheets of water 
that are so frequent in the country. The 
forest surrounds them completely, precisely 
in the same way as it does a lake, following 
all the lines and curvatures of the bays
