steam issue from his nostrils, and his
whole aspect, looming in the fog, is
vast and almost terrific, standing per-
fectly motionless, staring at the spot
from which he had heard the cry of
the supposed COW, irresolute whether
to move or not.
Meanwhile the hunter, on one knee,
gun in hand, trembles from head to
foot. Old hands are not shaky when
the final moment comes, but the first
shot of a novice is apt to go wide of
the mark. The very suddenness of so
grand a game makes the nerves tingle
and a queer pain run down the spine.
Just at the time when steady work is
required the nerves fall to pieces in a
bungling mess. The ball has missed
even SO big target, and while the
loud thump of the retreating animal is
heard no words can describe what is
said.
But the case is different with vet

spot where it will surely tell, he lets
go. With loud snort and savage
roar the moose rears in the air, then
falls to it's knees. Raising itself once
more, it makes for the forest. Anoth-

calling up the male. Then there is

lowing in its tracks in soft leather
moccasins, stealthily tracking the an

the forest. This method is most diff
1cult feat, as it is nard to get close
enough for a shot. Another mode of
hunting is to run the moose down on
snowshoes: This requires immense
endurance on the part OF the hunter,
but is not considered as legitimate as
calling, because if the snow lies deep
the moose is soon exhausted and it's
killing matter of no effort. 4

Fortunately, no two moose appear
to have the same voice, but make all
kinds of strange and diabolical noises.
The real difficulty is when the bull
is close by, suspicious and listening
with every fiber of its Intensely accur-
ate ear to detect any sound that may
reveal the true nature of the being he
is approaching. The slightest wrong
vibration, the least unnatural sound,
will send him tramping away. Or it
may be that the most accomplished
caller fails to induce the suspicious an
imal to show himself. The more ig-
noble passion of jealousy must then
be aroused. The guide will grunt like
