must shoot deadly accurate at such a 
time or I would be cut to pieces by 
razor edged hoofs and antlers. I was 
also told that I should never carry a 
lantern along a bush trail or portage 
road at night or a buck deer would be 
sure to attack me. 
Finally the opportunity to hunt in 
the ajacent forested country came and 
I entered the woods with the feeling 
that I would encounter moose, deer and 
bear behind every tree. Of course I 
was shortly disillusioned and after two 
weeks returned with nothing but ex- 
perience, 
During the winter months I was sent 
into the lumber camps as a timber 
sealer and mingled with real woods- 
men and trappers, who related their 
actual experiences with big game. Only 
upon the rarest of occasions did I ever 
hear a man say that he had been treed 
by a moose and then he admitted that 
he believed that the moose had become 
bewildered by the shooting and had 
just hapened to come his way. 
Fourteen years have slipped along 
and during that time I have had in- 
numerable experiences with the great 
sagacious beasts. On each and every 
time I have found them quick to retreat 
at the sight or scent of man. Writers 
paint a picture, in words, of the stately 
monarch fearing nothing. Two weeks 
ago on the majestic Nipigon my wife 
and I spotted one approaching the 
water for a drink. Silently we paddled 
to within a hundred feet before he 
raised his gigantic head adorned with 
a sixty-inch spread and slowly sur- 
veyed the encroachers. Despite his 
great bulk and the fact that he was in 
a burned over section, stealthily he 
picked his way over decayed and 
burned timber until his back and head 
were entirely concealed and then he 
rambled through that bush as though 
the devil was after him. 
However, this is just a short note to 
you and to Old Henry Braithwaite, 
expressing appreciation for his ac- 
curate accounts of moose habits and 
traits. Like Stewart Edward White I 
am satisfied that all wild animals fear 
man more than anything else.

Thinks the 20 Bore is Gun Enough 
DEAR FOREST AND STREAM: 
pee letters in your magazine rela- 
tive to the small bore shot guns 
are very interesting. “Possibilities of 
the .410 Bore Shotgun” by Dr. James 
Vance makes me wish I had a good 
.410 to try on quail this fall. 
I have owned an Ithaca 20 gauge 
about a year and would not exchange it 
for any 12 gauge I know of. 
When I first thought of buying a 20 
I was a little skeptical, but after read- 





to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. 
ing all the dope I could get and writing 
to several of the leading gun companies 
I made up my mind to get one and try 
it out. Then came the question of 
length of barrels and chambers. I set- 
tled on the 28 inch barrels and 2% 
inch chambers with the right barrel 
modified and the left full choked. 
I have killed ducks, crows, hawks, 
squirrels and quail with this gun and 
find I get much more pleasure in using 
it than I did with the larger gauges and 
about as much if not quite as much 
game. One has to hold a little closer, 
but the light weight of the gun enables 
one to get in position a little quicker. 
I think the best proof I have of the 
killing power of the 20 is a shot I made 
last winter. I was hunting along a 
small creek, for ducks, but had given 
up hopes of finding any when suddenly 
a mallard rose from under a high bank 
and started up the creek. I was taken 
completely off my guard and in no posi- 
tion to shoot, but got ready as quickly 
as possible. However, as I did so, the 
duck flew behind a stooping tree and I 
had to wait until he came out into the 
open. As I pressed the trigger he 
crumpled up and came down dead. I 
stepped the distance and found it to be 
about 45 yards. I had shot the right 
barrel and the shell was an Xpert 
loaded with 2% drams of powder and 
% of an ounce of 7% chilled shot. I 
was astonished to see this duck killed 
instantly with this size shot at that 
distance. 
I killed several ducks last winter and 
although I had a Pump gun, 12 gauge, 
I preferred to use the Ithaca 20. I 
found it so much lighter and the recoil 
was hardly noticable. 
The loading companies are loading 
2% drams Du Pont Oval powder and 
one ounce shot in the 2% inch cases. 
This eliminates the necessity of 2% 
inch chambers if one wishes to shoot 
the ounce load, and makes a shell with 
power enough to kill most any game 
hunted with a shot gun. I am anxious 
to try this shell on ducks. I believe 
this is one of the best shells on the 
market, and being a 2% inch shell, will 
be welcomed by shooters of the 20. 
I think in a few years we will find 
the 12 gauge used mostly at the traps 
and for long range duck shooting, very 
few using it for upland game
