FREDERICTON n. b.. Sept 21.-A small army
Of American sportsmen are how resolutely
pushing their way by pirogue or bark canoe to
the head waters OF the woodland rivers OF New
Brunswick where moose and caribou abound.
The season opened on Sept. for all kinds OF
game except the ruled grouse which has
period OF grace until Sept 20 The proper time
for calling moose with tho birchen horn is
later In the month. This Ia the method most
approved by aportsmen for capturing the
bull moose Experience has shown that
the period when moose can be success
fully called extends from about Sept 20 to
Oct. Is. Practically there are two calling sea
sons, the first before the bull has found his
mate. the second a week or two later. when the
honeymoon has waned and the 1ekle fair has
strayed away. When the bull 10 ompanied
by "A COW he will seldom respond to the simu-
lated call. Cases have occurred. however.
where an entire moose family have advanced,
as u Imp PEELED BY curiosity. to tho callers hid
ing place. 1t Is not uncommon for two, or
even three or four bulls to answer a skilful
caller at the same time their hoarse Erunts
proceeding from various points OF the compass
as they swagRer to the imaginary tryetinR
place Sometimes the bull comes up In utter
stealth and silence. More frequently he brings
the woods with him. as the guides say.
