In writing to 


Advertisers mention Forest and Stream, 
the winter season as it was, I felt the 
wolves were not yet hungry enough to 
be very ferocious, yet, it was a very 
comfortable feeling to think of the 
self-defense equipment which I carried. 
I kept plodding along in the same 
direction through the snow which was 
about fourteen inches deep. After the 
break of day showed through the pines, 
I could see various tracks that had 
recently been made by moose, deer, 
abundance of wolves and occasionally 
a bear. I was in a country I knew 
nothing about, but as I was exploring, 
I held frequent consultation with my 
trusty compass and continued on. 
Before I left camp, I had resolved 
that I would not shoot at any game 
of lesser consequence than a _ bull 
moose, hence, deer and other smaller 
game went unchallenged. While moose 
tracks became more plentiful the 
further I went, I had not had the plea- 
sure of a thrill by coming in sight of 
one of their big, black, bulky forms. 
About noon, as I trudged along, I came 
upon fresh moose beds where some 
seven or eight of the huge animals had 
arisen and leisurely departed for their 
feeding grounds. This was a real 
thrill, for I knew I had arrived at the 
heart of the moose country. 
The day, as usual, was cloudy, and I, 
many miles from camp, was lost, except 
for what assistance my compass would 
render. As such exercise always 
brings on hunger, and noting the time 
of the day, I set fire.to a dead cedar 
which always burns like oil and sat 
down and enjoyed my one-course re- 
past much better than I would the bill 
of fare of the best hotel in the coun- 
try. As I sat there taking cognizance 
of the various big game trails, with 
hope and thought of great expectancy 
at any moment, and the pleasing view 
of the fascinating superb scenery be- 
fore me, I felt that I was in a real 
paradise for the man who enjoys the 
call of the wild. 
After lunch I followed the trail of 
the moose herd for a mile or so with- 
out coming within sight of them. Then, 
after looking at my watch, I decided 
it would be after dark before I could 
get back to camp, and as I had ac- 
quired knowledge regarding the where- 
abouts of the moose, I decided to discon- 
j tinue their pursuit until the next day. 
After consulting my compass, I de- 
'/ cided to make my homeward journey 
by a different route from that which I 
came and thereby take advantage of 
exploring another virgin’ country. 
After a hard tramp, reconnoitering 
and with more or less hot flashes and 
anxiety over thoughts of the possibil- 
ity of being compelled to sleep in a 
self-improvised evergreen wigwam over 
night, I finally reached our camp about 
8:00 P. M., which was some three hours 
after dark. 
It will identify you. 
As I enjoyed a good warm meal, I 
was glad to relate to the other boys 
the result of my day’s observation and 
to assure them that moose were plenti- 
fully farther north of the camp. The 
boys advised me that Fred Johnson, a 
member of our party, had encountered 
a bear about a mile west of camp, 
without result, and that Capt. John 
Graves and A. H. Sheets had brought 
down some deer. 
Before bed time, everyone, excepting 
the cook, had agreed to accompany me 
early next morning to the happy hunt- 
ing grounds I had chanced to discover. 
In order to get to the designated local- 
ity as early as possible, we all left 
camp the next morning some two hours 
before daylight. Without mentioning 
minor incidences, we arrived at the 
edge of the best moose country about 
10:30 A.M. As there were six of us, 
we decided, as advantage to everybody, 
to hunt in three teams of two each. 
Mr. Fleming and I took a course east 
of north; Graves and Powell flanked 
us about a mile to the west, and Sheets 
and Johnson flanked them a mile on 
the left; all hunting in a northerly 
direction. 
Fleming and I had not gone more 
than a mile when we came upon fresh 
moose beds and the tracks of six 
moose. All signs plainly told us the 
herd was only a few minutes ahead 
of us. They were feeding and travel- 
ing slowly, and we knew we were liable 
to come upon them at any time. As 
we crept slowly over a rise, we ob- 
served a large bull with head high in 
the air, apparently standing guard 
over two cows, as though he was king 
of the forest. With his mighty antlers 
on a massive head, eight feet from the 
ground, he certainly looked the part. 
The moose were fully three-hundred 
yards from us through the big tinaber. 
We caucussed in low tones and de- 
cided to take no chance shots at such 
long range. We stood motionless for 
fear they would see us, both hoping 
they would change their course and 
come in our direction. Of course, we 
wanted only the big bull with his mam- 
moth antlers, and we both had agreed 
that when the proper time came (if 
at all) we would both shoot at the 
same time and make sure of him. After 
waiting patiently for about five min- 
utes, good fortune seemed to take 
cognizance of the intense situation, as 
the bull commenced to walk slowly in 
our direction followed by the cows. 
After seconds that seemed like minutes 
had elapsed, I whispered, “I’ll count, 
one, two, three. Then we will both 
shoot.” When the moose got within 
about two hundred yards of us, they 
stopped with heads up as though they 
had scented us. This being the situa- 
tion, I gave the count, and at the sound 
of three, both guns cracked at the
