BERKSHIRE'S WILD MOOSE.
Let Out of whitney Game IncIo-
sure by Hunters.

ny
From the Great Darlington Courier
Game Warden Sargood says that a
number of moose are at large in the
hills of Berkshire and for a wear or
more have been roaming at large. They
came from the Whitney game Enclosure
during the open week of last November.
when hunters cut the big ten-foot wire
fence to let out the deer and elk which
they hoped to shoot.
Since then the game wardens of the
county have been hearing reports from
various parts of the county and New
York State that moose have been seen.
but there has been more or less doubt
expressed on the subject until a big
bull moose was shot at westfieId and
thus the stories were confirmed
According to Mr.. Sargood there were
tWenty-four moose in the Whitney in
closure. but for several months past
only eighteen have been sighted Mr..
Sargood has himself seen bull and
two cow moose wild in the woods and
believes there are several others from
the missing Whitney herd AS the vi
cious season of the moose is in October
and November, timid hunters have had
some hesitancy about venturing far In
the mountains alone lest the moose as
sail them, but those who know the De-
culiarities of the moose say that they
will not attack unless wounded or Sc
riously molested. They. from habit.
keep close to pine swamps and are nat
urally shy.
Open deer week is near and as the
moose are governed by the same lay
as deer. numbers OF sporting clubs are
urging hunters to refrain from shdot-
ing at moose, as there are enough OF
them now abroad to restock Berkshire
fosests if left unmolested for a few
years
