HUNTING ELK EXCITING SPORT.


Hunting young elk is regarded as exciting
sport and many are the stories told about its
adventures when the DAVIS work is done and all
are gathered before the camofire. 1t has a
flavor of danger. but it is not exciting as
hunting bears.
Indeed. bears are common in the park that
more of snem have been captured for the Zoo
than OF any other animals. There were five
arrivals a month or two ago-twc Old ones and
three cubs. which are leading contcnted life

captured easily in traps properly built and

one sees them feeding in the hoilows running
away inso the underground.
There are three hInds in the Yellowstone
black. S-izziiss and cinnamon specimens
of all tLese have been taken from time to time
and sent TO Washington. OF these tine black
bears have the least creditable record fo- valor
and ere the least to be feared in encounter.
I The plan of c.ImDaig:l which the Smi thsonian
hunter has for capturing their young takes ad-
vantage of this weakness of Mrs. Brrun. The

falls victim to her rage. The only safe way
to get them is By the back OF the neck or by

haunts and made ready for the passage to the

A few large bears have been trapped BY Mr..
Hofer fo- the Zoo, but the general policy has
been to obtain the animals while they are Yet
young This makes the work unusually dan
gerous at times, for all animals attack man
most fercely when their young are being taken
from them, bat the young are most easily do
mesticated and hive more contentedly in con-
fnenent. The old animals often injure them
selves in efforts to escape and sometimes incur
much trouble and expense in transportation.
A large grizzly which the Smithsonian hunter
formerly trapped and put aboard a freight

ride to the capital. His friends IN the city say
that he is descended from Baron Hofer. who
liberated the Swiss cautons from the yoke of
Austria a. the beginning of the century, and
that he inherits his sagacity and his strange
love Of life OF freedom among the mountains
from his distinguished ancestor.
Certain il Is that Mr.. Hofer Is wonderfully
well versed IN the art Of trapping and catching
all kinds Of wild animals and that he has done
very good work in this line for the Zoo. Dur
ing his stay he visited his captive acquaintances
now with the collections at Rock creek and.
although a very modest man. he told in his
straightforward manner many Interesting
things about the habits and the capture Of these
animals in the northern wonderland of geysers.
