HAUNTS Of
BIG GAME
Missionary Fields
for the Big
Bore. "

With the advent of the~big game sea
son come the usual Inquiries. Needless
to say. the great majority of Querists
are what the plaInsmen term Tender
foot e., green hands at the game.
And can't they ask questions.
Before proceeding further. let me
. frankly state to all novices this impor-
tant fact-I cannot undertake to tell you
how you may surely get" deer and larg-
er game. I can tell where 1t may be got,
but the getting of 1t mainly rests with
you. There is a deal more necessary
than the mere going to a good locality
If one intends to succeed at big game
hunting. The expert can take care OF
his own interests, but the novice must
depend upon others. Therefore he sure
ly must have a guide--and let he say
right here that a good guiue is well
worth the sum he demands for his serv-
ices.
Is 1t moose? Then the easiest reached
grounds are in Maine, say with head
quarters at one of the small stations on
the Bangor and Aroostook, or on Moose
head Lake. There are quite number
of moose, a few caribou, and plenty of
deer and grouse in the Maine woods. Inn
mediately to the north les the great
moose and bear region of New Bruins
wick, where also are fair numbers OF
caribou. Away further north is a grand
big game region-the Tamscaminque and
Abittibi country. This is practically new
ground and Is reached via 1. T. r. from
Montreal to Mattawa, thence by a new
railroad to the ground. There Is plenty
of big game there and fairly good accom-
rnodations and guides. Still further away
is the region of Winnipeg c4ty-a first
class locality for moose. Then away
across the northern plains, norl.. OF Ed
monitor, spreads a vast moose range,
which holds good plumb TO Alaska.
For caribou, the best ground I'm the
world today, undoubtedly, is Newfound-
land. After that the Barren Grounds of
the Canadian Northwest the third, the
British Columbia ranges. More accessi-
BILE, and good grounds too, he TO tho
north of Quebec city. These are reached
via the Quebec and Lake St. John Rail-
way. The north shore of Lake Superior
is no bad country, nor are New Bruins
wick and northern Maine.
For elk, one must seek our own ex-
treIne west and the foothills Of the
Rockies here also is one of the strong
holds of that grim rufiiam. the grizzly
bear.
Antelope are now uncertain quarry,
northern Assiniboia being about the best
ground. and next the Badlands.
Some of the most convenient and the
surest of deer hunting is to be had in
our own Adirondacks. Indeed, might
go SO far as to say that the Adirondacks
offer the best chance to an inexperienced
man. Deer hunting in the AdirondaclHs
has been so systematic that about all the
novice has to do is to secure a good
guide, obey instructions, and hold
straight when his chance comes. Dis
lance may lend enchantment, and one
hay hear rosy accounts of more remote
districts, yet l should advise the average
New York man to stick to his own state
for his deer hunting. The Upper PENN
suIa of Michigan, portions or Wisconsin
and of Minnesota and Maine, also con-
tain generous supply of deer. Another.
and very good ground too, lies in the
Province of Ontario-the Halliburton
country, reached by train from Toronto.
There are bear there too, and, of course.
grouse. In fact there Is good country
in Ontario as far as North BRy-E. w.
Sandys, in Outing.
