He was the largest moose I have ever seen and yet, by leaning slightly toward him, I could have spanked him with my paddle! One such experience with a great, wild animal, is more adventuresome, more thrilling and more satisfactory, than the shooting of a hundred such creatures. It is more than the sport of kings it is the sport of men of common sense.
A moment later the whole pack, their famine still unsatisfied, swept off again upon the trail of the moose. The carcajou came down, sniffed angrily at the clean bones which had been cracked for their marrow, then hurried off on the track of the wolves.
'And the way was long, the cold bitter, and there was little grub. The Pellys had found no moose, and had robbed my cache. And so had the three white men, but they lay thin and dead in their cabins as I passed. After that I do not remember, till I came here, and found food and fire much fire. As he finished, he crouched closely, even jealously, over the stove.
From Winnipeg to the Pacific Ocean there are a few places that might attain to the dignity of an oasis at Brandon, Portage la Prairie, etc. but it is generally what I should call worthless; 100 miles to wood and 100 feet to water was the general experience west of the Moose jaw, and the months of June, July, and August are the only three in the year that it is safe to bet you will not have sleighing.
His nap had rested him much more than his broken sleep of the night under the rocks, and the word "moose" had an inspiration all its own. "I've cut the fire-wood. You get poles for the tent. I'll get things ready for supper." Adrian laid his hand dramatically upon his stomach. "I've an inner conviction already that dinner precedes supper." "Cut, can't you?" "Cut, it is."
The reader should compare the Nycteribia with the young six-footed moose tick figured farther on. The Chionea, according to Harris, lives in its early, stages in the ground like many other gnats, and is found early in the spring, sometimes crawling over the snow.
The hunter now, with the assistance of his new pupil in the craft, proceeded to dressing the moose, the process of which, bleeding, disemboweling, and partially skinning, was soon completed; when, cutting some stout green skids with the hatchet he ever carried in his belt, and inserting the ends under the bulky carcass, the two contrived to raise it, by means of old logs rolled up for the purpose, several feet from the ground, so as to insure a free circulation of air beneath it.
Nat followed him, with the gun which he had hastily primed. Both horse and moose were now thrashing amidst the alder clumps. "Shoot him, shoot him!" Jonathan shouted. "Why don't you fire? Oh, let me have that gun!" It is not as easy as an onlooker often thinks to shoot an animal, even a large one, in rapid motion, particularly among trees and brush; something constantly gets in the way.
At the same time while he decried and resented their outspoken valuation of material considerations he found himself constantly subject to those material factors of daily living. The first of these was food. When Mr. Thompson outfitted himself for that spiritual invasion of Lone Moose he brought in four months' supplies.
My patience was by this time nearly exhausted, for the continual rain was very depressing, and detracted much from the pleasure of being in such a grand game country. About noon I was sitting before the fire when Lawroshka went to the lake, only some ten steps away, for a pail of water. Here he saw a bull moose standing on the other side.
