In writing to advertisers mention Forcst and Stream, 
NCE while crossing a lake in my 
canoe, I saw a moose just ahead 
of me. As he was a long way from 
home, I thought I would have some 
fun with him. After a hard paddle 
I overtook him and ran the canoe up 
his back between the antlers. He gave 
his head a twist, nearly throwing me 
out and partly filling the canoe with 
water. He got the bes: of the joke 
and taught me a lesson I never forgot. 
An English clergyman came here 
one winter to go moose hunting with 
me. He was very anxious to kill a 
moose and we were in need of meat so 
we set out. I started a moose and 
soon overtook it as the snow shoeing 
was good. The moose showed fight 
when I got close to him. Whenever 
he started to go away I followed him 
and he would wheel and face me. Fi- 
nally he made up his mind not to run 
at all. In a short time my sky pilot 
came up, and as he had a very fine 
express rifle I was anxious to see it 
work, as it was something new to me. 
He fired seven shots at the moose at 
twenty-five or thirty yards and man- 
aged to cut a little hair off the back 
of the animal’s neck with the last shot. 
When he stopped firing he stood and 
looked at me. I asked him why he 
didn’t keep on. He informed me in a 
mournful tone that he had no more 
cartridges, so it looked very much as 
though we would have to go without 
meat. 
E possessed a large claspknife and 
I asked if he had it with him. He 
it to me and I cut a small 
pole twelve or fifteen feet long, cut a 
notch in the small end and lashed the 
knife to it. I intended trying to cut the 
moose’s jugular vein. I worked up on 
one side of the moose and when he got 
uneasy I asked the minister to work 
up on the other side and distract his 
attention. J picked out my spot and 
took a step ahead to strike; as I did 
so, the moose took a step ahead and in- 
stead of striking where I had aimed, 
I struck behind the fore shoulder, mid- 
way down.’ He fell almost instantly, 
blood spouting from the wound. Upon 
opening him I found I had almost cut 
his heart in two. 
T skinned and dressed the moose and 
we prepared to start for camp in a 
blinding snowstorm. It was coming 
on dark and the camp was on a lake 
two miles away, but I thought I could 
find it. I tried to use my compass, but 
the snow was so thick that I couldn’t 
see the needle and the wind blew out 
matches as fast as we could light them. 
If there is anything that will make a 
man quickly lose himsel’, it is a bad 
storm in the night. ! wandered on as 
best I could by the lay of the land, but 
soon found that I had lost the run of 
that. I was about to give up and was 
trying to find a dry stump or some- 
thing to start a fire in, when I saw a 
dark object just ahead. 
it, I found it was a fisher hanging up 
in one of the steel traps. I knew then 
I was on my trapping line, and by 
carefully feeling for snow shoe tracks 
I came to the lake, then by follow- 
ing the shoe track I found the camp. 
That is the only time I ever got lost 
in the woods.

caught when they are young. 
I caught three when they were nine or 
ten months old for different parks. It 
was easy to catch therm in the deep 
snow and I had no trouble leading

them out of the woods after the first 
day. I remember of once catching a 
calf moose two or three weeks old in 
an otter trap. The mother was with it 
and she faced me as soon as I came 
near the trap. I was surprised and 
didn’t know what she meant until I 
saw the calf in the stream trying to 
get out of the trap. J had an Indian 
with me and IT called to him to come 
and help me get the calf, but instead of 
coming he made off the other way. 
It was a very open place with ne 
large trees and I started hollering at 
the cow moose trying to drive her away 
and at last she moved off. I got hold 
of the pole the trap was fastened to 
and began hauling it ashore. The calf 
began to bleat and the moose charged 
again. I ran around some bushes and 
yelled at the top of my voice and finally 
scared her away. Then I waded out 
into the stream, got the calf by the 
ears and rubbed and petted it to keep 
it quiet and managed tc get the trap 
ashore and reset it. To my surprise 
the calf followed me to the bank. I 
dodged around some bushes and ran 
away from it; no doubt the mother re- 
turned and picked it up. 
A woods one winter to get pictures 
of live moose for the magazine he rep- 
resented. We went out one day to try 
our luck. The snow wasn’t very deep 
_and it was hard to run a moose and 
get it to stop, and when I did finally 
succeed in getting one stopped, the 
photographer and camera were so far 
behind that the moose got tired of 
waiting. The next day I ran one down 
and he was prepared to fight, but when |

and warned the photographer to be 
ready to run if I gave the word and 
told him the direction to go. He had 
just gotten the camera placed to his 
satisfaction when I saw that the moose 
was going to charge. I gave the word 
to retreat in disorder as quickly as pos- 
sible. The photographer ran in the
