Allalong the Height of Land from Mat-tawa north and west from Cobalt tothe Lake of the Woods section thereare a great number of moose and alsoa fair f[uanlily of caribou. During. leavy Second Growth and Lack of Trails lljitini (^jiiJitijiis the hot weather and the lly seasondozens of moose and caribou may beseen along a hundred lakes andstreams. The season does not lifthowever, until October 16th, whichis too late for this more northerngame country; moreover, the heavysecond-growth and lack of trailsthrough it—practically the only modeof ingress and egress being by canoealong the paddleways, making hunt-ing conditions hard,—tends to forcethe sportsmans choice to other moreavailable country. Personally, withthe high non-resident fee demanded,the late season and the hard goingencountered, I have refrained of latefrom sending as many sportsmennorth in Ontario for moose or caribouas formerly. I would say, however,that there are several more favoredareas available, where one gen-erally succeeds in obtaining hisgame, notably above Temagami(reached by the G. T. R.
