W HEN we got away from the haunts 
of man evidence of moose began to 
appear. Now and then a meadow 
lovered with lush grass would show where 
I they had fed during the early morning 
hours. Altogether we saw seven. On one 
occasion we surprised a cow and calf as 
we turned a point of land. If we had had 
j firearms it would have been like shooting a 
| Durham steer in a pasture. - But we were 
quite as surprised as was the mother and 
her calf. We had hoped to be able to get 
soma pictures of moose swimming the lake. 
As our canoes were entering the Seine River 
from Fox Lake the head canoe started a 
good sized bull. He trotted around the 
back side of a small wooded island and 
made across the river just behind our third 
boat. If our flotilla had been a little more 
separated doubtless he would have taken to 
the lake rather than to cross between the 
boats, but we missed our chance to drive 
him to deep water and get a picture of Mack 
or Lawrence jumping from the canoe to 
take a ride on the back of his majesty as 
•the guides do on the Nepigon. 
A big bull moose, however, has a weapon 
in his broad palmated horns that you want 
to keep out of reach of. The guide some¬ 
times mounts a swimming moose, landing 
just back of his neck, where the animal can¬ 
not strike the rider with his horns. But our 
quarry turned our flank and we missed the 
chance for a fine photograph. 
I One morning as Tork and I were getting 
breakfast a big bull came out on a nearby 
point, walking deliberately out into the lily 
pads to feed. His magnificent spread of 
antlers was silhouetted with startling dear¬ 
ness against the mirrored surface of the 
lake. We watched him for some minutes 
through the glass before he caught sight of 
us. While we were eating breakfast that 
morning Ben discovered a big dun colored 
buck limned sharply against the green foli¬ 
age of the forest. Two of the fellows made 
through the woods to intercept a retreat and 
if possible to drive him into the lake while 
another pair took to the canoe with camera, 
but before the rear guard arrived he van¬ 
ished into the forest. 
S OME of the bays have narrow meadow 
lands covered with luxuriant grass. 
Wherever these occur, evidence of 
moose is abundant. Often these bogs are 
so cut up with tracks that one would think 
a herd of cattle had been pasturing over the 
meadow. If one were to while away a few 
(lays at such feeding grounds, with flashlight 
equipment and patience, good night pictures 
could be secured of the feeding animals. 
We were in the wilderness where the hand 
of man was scarcely evident except on the 
trail itself until we reached Steep Rock 
Lake. The drear and desolated shores of 
burnt and ravished forests heralded our ap¬ 
proach to civilization. As we rounded the 
last lap of the ZigZag on Steep Rock Lake 
we heard the yelp of a bunch of curs. The 
dogs were lined up on a narrow spit of land 
barking and yelping like mad. As we drew 
nearer we saw they were hobbled, each of 
them having a front paw tied up in a sling 
so they couldn’t run away. The next turn 
disclosed an Indian tepee, the silent squaws 
sitting in the entrance way; in a few min¬ 
utes more the chug of the exhaust of a 
motor boat told us that our communion with 
Nature in all the sanctity of her undefiled 
temples was at an end.
