which have been bent over or “ridden 
down,” where the tender bark has been 
stripped off. If, finding these, one starts 
in early in the day and hunts carefully, 
always having due regard for the direc- 
tion of the wind, the chances are that, 
sooner or later, his efforts will be re- 
warded by his coming up with the 
game. 
Moose are much more local in their 
habits than the widely wandering cari- 
bou and, unless unduly hunted and pur- 
sued, will hang pretty closely to a given 
locality, within which their plentiful- 
ness or the reverse, in certain more 
limited areas, will be largely governed 
by the matter of feed most favored by 
them. 
To me it seems that some are apt to 
lend too much importance to actual 
numbers of points or inches of span. 
In big-game hunting the final killing of 
the game is only the successful conclu- 
sion of moments, hours or perhaps days 
of painstaking endeavor, each, how- 
ever, filled with interest and keen ap- 
preciation to the sportsman and lover 
of nature, and if the trophy be a fair 
one, no real hunter should repine if it 
be not of record-breaking dimensions. 
RAYMOND’S REPLY 
(Continued from page 141) 
deftly twisted his big red handkerchief 
about his face as a shade, while I stuck 
a piece of adhesive tape over my nose 
and lips to avoid sunburn. 
Suddenly out spun my line, my boat- 
man gave a shout, and, up from the 
water, forty feet away, shot a six-foot 
streak of silver, rainbowed in the sun- 
light, and plunged again into the sea. 
My reel whirred and a hundred feet 
away, again the fish rose and, savagely 
shaking his head, hurled the mullet bait 
thirty feet through the air; but the 
hook still held. Out to sea he went, 150, 
200, 250 feet, twice skyrocketing en 
route, then changed his plan of cam- 
paign and headed straight at us. Never 
have I reeled in so fast. “Look out,” 
shouted Brundy, “he’s going to jump.” 
But he did not; his back glistened above 
the surface as he continued his mad 
career. Still reeling, I leaned back to 
let the line slip under if he circled the 
boat, but no need. “Look out,” again 
shouted Brundy, and up came silver- 
sides in a gigantic leap right at our 
prow, showering us with water from 
his flipping tail, and plunged back to 
begin a long submarine battle. For 
fifteen minutes I “pumped” him as hard 
as I dared, finally worrying him out of 
‘the bottom and sending him on a 220- 
yard dash from which I slowly, wearily, 
tediously, brought him back only to 
have him take on fresh energy time 
after time and scurry away to seaward.
