is BEST MOOSE SHOT
PENogScoT INDIAN OF MAINE
SURPRISES WHITE MAN.
Tieet.Footed Woodsman Follows the
Animal for Days Across the
Country Until He Tires
and Kills 1t.

While the Penobscot or Tarratine
Indian is not considered the equal OF
the expert white man as a rifle shot,
he Is the best moose shot In the
woods This sinewy, fleetfooted woods
man is fond of picking up a moose
trail just after light snow has fallen.
Then, in light marching order, he
will follow the animal across the coun-
try until he tires him out or kills
him. The process frequently takes
from three to four days. and it is
possible only to the hardest of pur-
suers.
When first started a moose Will
make of through the woods with the
speed of an express train. II it is
early in the season and there has
been but light fall of snow the
travelling Is good and it Is simple
matter to follow the trail. At length
the animal, confident Of having
thrown off his pursuers, win gradual
ly slacken its pace and stop. But 1t
is off again Immediately upon hear
Ing the first sound or upon the pres
ence of those who are following.
1t is q fact that vigorous man can
tire out moose in the long run, and
the Indian will at length approach
near enough TO get shot. he can
burden himself with but little in the
way Of camp equipage, however, and
r,F a
blanket is all that he carries besides
his rife
This method of killing moose Is re-
garded by many as being far the most
sportsmanlike. Surely 1t requires en-
durance and determination as well as
woodcraft. and the man who has pro-
cured a head in this fashion has done
something which would be impossible
for the average sportsman.
No white man, no matter how ex-
| pert, can ever quite equal an Indian
in following trail or In canoe The
| Indians seem to possess an aptitude
in the handling of these frail craft
| which has come down to them
through a long line of forebears.
However, few birch canoes are
made nowadays. Tough winter bark
is used in their construction, and
with. the entertainments OF civiliza-
tion 1t is becoming more and more ex.
| pensive each year to get it. A high
grade birch canoe Will outclass three
which are covered with canvas, and a
few are still built to order every year
on Indian Island, Me. They are much
heavier than the canvas canoes, how,
ever, and for long trips. where there
are frequent carries, most people pre-
fer the canvas covered craft.
