WINTER HUNTING GROUNDS

WIN IN IiOIN tlNS 0IASS SiNDS
The most accessible and attractive
hunting grounds in the United States
are the Coteaus of North Dakota.
The Coteaus are a range of hills. or
rather a region of hills, occupying a
strip of country as large as the state
of Massachusetts, on the east side of
the Missouri river. The settlement
there is scant, owing to the hilly ma
ture of the territory.
There are innumerable small lakes
and meadows and patches of timber.
1t is a safe feeding ground for deer
and the most desirable kind of resting
place for duck and geese. The wheat
fields of Dickey, La Moure, Kidder and
Wells counties. extend to the foot of
the Coteaus, and afford convenient
food for the myriads of prairie chick
ems which fatten there.
When the Coteaus are first entered
a scene of desolation forces itself upon
the vision, but this is soon relieved by
a magnificent perspective of water and
landscape
Small game of various kinds is al
most constantly in sight. The hunter
can travel for miles without detecting
the first sign of civilization. The
name Coteau. or Coteaux means the
hills of the Dakotas or of the Sioux
Indians.
Deer, antelope, coyotes, badgers and
foxes disport by the waters of those
mountain lakes and offer excellent
sport to the Nimrods who seek for it in
that direction. There are still great
many beaver on the creeks which flow
from the hills into the Missouri or
James.
In the Missouri bottoms, north of
Bismarck, there is big game, and the
hunting there is carried on success
fully in the winer months. There is
less chance of getting lost along the
Missouri than in the Coteaus and Bad
Lands.
The river country is timbered, and
on that account is made the winter
quarters of large game. While the
stalking is comparatively safe, it is
hard to work in that region. and is
not followed to any great extent by
visiting sportsmen after the stormy
season comes on.
Farmers living along the Missouri
get a good many deer every winter,
but hunters can do better along in Oc-
tober and November. Rattlesnakes are
thick in the river bottoms during the
warm weather, but after the sharp
frosts of October have set in they are
seldom seen and do little harm.
One of the most interesting places on
earth, as well as fine hunting ground
for large game is the Bad Lands. For
wild and weird scenery, for curious
formations, and for opportunities to
get lost, the Bad Lands beat the world.
1t is Incompatible, so far as the
northern frontier is concerned, for a
wild outdoor life. There are some buf-
falo, but more bear. Deer are COM
mon. There are some mountain sheep,
an occasional wildcat, any number of
wolves and a variety of feathered
game.
There are the widest kind of can
yons to traverse and the steepest kind
of hills to climb. No man can pass
a week in the Bad Lands without hav-
ing adventures to relate. Hunting in
that region is rough and wild enough
to satisfy the most romantic mind.
