"During the se\-eral weeks sjient in studying and photographing moose near Skilak Lake, the network of runwa>'s throughout the poplar and birch thickets showed very plainly that this was one of the great winter feeding ranges of these animals, and that a systematic search would doubtless reveal many fine antlers. In this we were successful from the start, and nearly every afternoon, on taking the canoe for camp, one or two big or oddly shaped horns were a part of our cargo. ,\nd if the camera failed in its quest on such occasions, here were the discarded crowns of the giant moose, many of them worthy of portraiture and many of permanent preservation. By carefully noting the course of our rambles, in less than a week a square mile was pretty well covered and brought to view 26 nearly perfect antlers, aside from nearly an equal number found in the bordering spruce forests, which the porcupines had, with few exceptions, badly gnawed." 463
