a pile of windfalls landing snowshoes 
up, while your humble servant disap- 
peared behind two trees. The moose 
came to the camera where he expected 
to find his enemy. Looking around 
and seeing he had missed his mark he 
swung his head around and knocked 
over the camera; then he retreated to 
his fighting place where he had hard 
ground. 
The photographer got up, put his 
snow shoes on right and returned. He 
picked up the camera, which was none 
the worse, as it had fallen in the light 
snow. I wandered round carelessly, 
not too close to the moose, pretending 
I didn’t see him till I got him quieted 
down. We then succeeded in getting 
several good pictures from different 
sides, for the longer the moose stood, 
the sorer he got from the run he had 
in the snow. 
The Old Fashioned ’Coon 
Hunt

his feet and nail him. Two or three 
times she had the dog down and was 
on top of him, chewing his neck and 
ears. 
We told the farmer that if he would 
catch his dog we would turn our dogs 
loose and show him how quick a regu- 
lar ’coon dog could kill a ’coon, but he 
said, no, his dog would soon get mad 
and finish it. 
E were having the time of our 
lives watching the fight, but it 
didn’t seem right to have the poor Col- 
lie cut to pieces by that scrapping she- 
devil. The fight went on and on until 
the dog got so tired that the ’coon was 
getting the best of him. I will never 
forget the look on that farmer’s face 
when his dog gave up the fight and 
turned tail. 
The dog ran out through the woods 
howling, with the ’coon snapping at his 
heels every jump. 
We turned Bibby loose and she pinned 
the ’coon to the ground, and had her 
throat and ribs crushed in less than 
three minutes. The farmer could not 
understand how a medium-sized hound 
could kill a ’coon which his big Collie 
could not even come close to killing. 
We explained to him that it was all in 
knowing how. 
Anyone that has hunted ’coon has had 
experience with their dogs trailing mink 
in swamps. In one particular swamp 
our dogs had trailed what we thought 
was a mink every night that we were 
in that territory. One night the swamp 
was under water, because it had rained 
heavily ever since early in the morn- 
ing. We decided to make one more 
effort to catch that mink, knowing the 
swamp was flooded, and the mink would 
be out on open ground where the dogs
