Plenty of Moose in Maine.


IFrOm the New York Sun.
The fall hunting season in Maine for
big game will open one week from Mon
day, and there are already hundreds of
hunters in the woods waiting for it to
begin Some Of them vent into the
hunting regions as early as August to
find their game and be on the spot when
it came time to shoot it. The only big
game that nonresident hunter can
kill in Maine now is the moose and bear.
and both are plentiful Wardens and
land explorers arriving in Bangor this
week report that they never saw moose
so plenty before They say that large
animals with fine specimens of antlerS
are scarce. but young bulls are almost
as plenty as deer One man on a trip
of a week through the northern country
said that he saw and counted l. 200 deer
and 400 moose.
The recent heavy forest fires in the
hunting country tended to drive all Of
the game to the water, and campers had
the privilege of seeing more game in
two or three days than most hunters,
who make annual trips into the woods
in October, would see in a. lifetime. The
fish and game commissioners declared
the sale of September licenses off when
the forest fires began, but as soon as
there was a. days rain the agents began
to sell the licenses again, and timber
land owners were 50 put out at the idea
that the September law will probably
be repealed at this winters session of
the legislature. This matter will be the
principal fight in the game legislation.
Reports come to this city almost daily
of exciting experiences which visiting
campers are having in the region around
the west branch and MOOsehead lake,
but none has been more interesting than
that which befeH Max Busch and Hora-
ito Atkins, Of New York city, at Moose

river for several weeks and were on
their way down the river to kineO- The

Busch was padding the canoe with At

went along. They turned a little point
in the river and had moved along about
one hundred yards when a big moose
bounded out of the woods and into the
canoe He struck with both forefeet in
as suddenly as if the campers had run
up against q stone wall. Both Of the
men were thrown sky-high and Busch
landed on his back on a sharp rock

when he came to the surface again he

himself together and was making for
