Today we received three different itemized sheets from the north country and all of them claimed there were leas moose and deer in their parts of the country than there should be if they were to have good hunting another year.

Just as actually seeing an animal or bird before the actual shooting will key some hunters to the bursting point, so following the tracks will put an additional thrill into what otherwise might be a routine day of hunting..
