. The sportsman's paradise, or, The lake lands of Canada [microform]. Hunting; Fishing; Chasse; Pêche sportive. ,ii;j 166 THE SPORTSMAN'S PARADISE; time intervening between the return of the photographer anil the 15th of October, was spent, very pleasantly, in deer- hunting, partridge-shooting, trout-fishing, and the taking of negatives. On the 12th of October occurred a very un- expected and memorable event in the life of the author,— his first meeting with a large bull moose face to face. It is feared though that this incident will lack pathos for our readers, as it did not result tragically for either the man or the moose. The morning of this eventful day was spent by our party in deer-hunting and fishing. Mid-day found us, however, back in our camp. Both the captain and myself remained in cami^ itil about four o'clock, when I started out for a tram^, utcing with me two bird-dogs and a shot-gun. The first part of this tramp was entirely un- eventful, and the meeting which I now report did not occur until about half-past five o'clock. I was at this time walking quite rapidly down a ravine rhich was bounded on either side by low hills. The dogs were running a few rods ahead of me, when I was suddenly startled by a noise in the bushes, and instantly beheld, standing before me, a large bull moose within less than six rods of the muzzle of my gun. \i.
