watched us Tor q while then turned
and walked into the timber We had
gone only short distance farther
when We came onto q doe and Q fawn,
They scented us at once and whistled
and stamped q few seconds then went
into the spruce jungle.
On our return we saw another spike
buck III the same pond. When we
returned to camp We found the other
boys. who had returned to our camp
they saw plenty of game including
caribou, but no bulls. The next
morning We started before daylight
lfor Hoover Brook, taking lantern
along to see the blazing on the trees,
I'VE were determined to get our moose
there and soon; but there was nothing
doing at all. SO we started through the
timber for camp to try q new country
/ we had gone by q short distance
when we jumped q small bull, and
about half q mile farther. we put "
three deer, one being q buck, but saw
nothing that We cared to shoot. Wt
stayed in camp until about 2 p. 10,
when vel Ell for Trout Lake. where
I've found one old COW quietly eating
moss from the bottom, with A largt
supply Of mud at each mouthful. We
waited, thinking that her friend woulf
come out OF the timber, but our wal
was in vain, SO we once more return
ed to camp, seeing Two deer on g
small barren, and q COW and bull call
lin Round Rake, on our way in.

guide called, breakfast After eat
ling we started for Trout Lake and

come familiar, and the trail well
beaten. we found young buck n
the lake when We arrived, feeding on
the moss; we watched him for over
an hour from our blind as the little
fellow would reach deep IN the water
for his feed. but his ears were always
on the alert for any strange sound.
He finally scented us, however, ana
