Eventually he sets off with the bare necessi- ties of the trip, mizius most of the paraphernalia he in- tended Lo take, but one thing he will not leave behind —his camera. It may get in hia way sometimes, but as a rule he finds it indispensable. Without it he knows that he will be unable, probably, to support his claims as to big moose shot or ferocious game encountered. with a camera than with a rifle, the chase 1s even more exciting and the end, without entailing any slaughter, produces quite as much thrill, This will be readily acknowledged by the true sportsman, Reproduced above are some the closing seascn’s most interesting shots, The doe was got within range after three days hunt out of Ste.
