One of the biggest game hags
ever to be taken out of the Cana-
dian Rockies has fallen to the gun
of Angus Hodgson, of Montreal,
who bas been hunting in the Koot-
enay Valley. It includes two deer,
two Rocky Mountain goats onemoose,
moose, one elk, and one black bear.
At the end of his trip he spent six
days tracking a monster grizzly
and with one bighorn ram he
would have had the limit of every
animal possible to get which the
law allows him.
Comprising the largest one -day

Riding moose across New Bruns-
wick lakes and rivers is beginning
to rate as the coming new craze,
says Major McGeehan, noted New
York sport and magazine writer,
who .has been spending a Fall out-
ing in the Miramichi and Cain's
River districts. Up to the pres-
ent the moose ridden have been
cowmoose but Rev. Thomas Travis,
of Montclair, N.J., appears to be the
first who has ridden a bull moose
which was done in the Key Hole of
Grand Lake, about 85 miles from
Fredericton. Now other sports-
men are taking up the pastime un-
til it begins to look as though
sportsmen in New Brunswick will
be getting the habit of crossing
lakes and rivers on mooseback.
