Dempsey hunts the way he fights.
| have just been on a hunting TRIP
with the champion up through north
ern Maine and the back woods of New
Brunswick. Must say I never went
hunting with a better companion. Jack
packs his share of the camp stuff, and

in the heart of the woods. owned by
Sheriff Blakely of Havelock. who was
waiting for us with the best cook IL
the lumber camps.
There two New Brunswick guides
Len and Ainsley Kierstead, Joined the
forces. And that night we were all out
in the woods by moonlight, listening
while the guides Initiated the call OF
the COW moose. Next morning tracks
were found, establishing the fact thai
| there were moose around somewhere
but another dag passed without STIR
ring up anything bigger than a part
ridge.
Here Walter Kinds came back tc
camp after Il long days r~econnals'

living out in the rain, rolled Ii oal
| blankets, through the night beside
| swamp only two miles away. we
| STAYED in camp for a day OF rest.
