THE ELUSMIBOO An Animal of Mystery Is This Wilderness Wanderer. RESTLESS, FLEET AND SHY. H» It Keen of Sight, Subtle of Scent, Acute of Hearing, Strangely Inquisitive and Can Easily Travel Fifty Miles In a Single Day. To those familiar with the timbered wilds and the dwellers therein the woodland caribou is an animal of mystery, the wanderer of the wilderness, the most restless, most inquisitive memlier of the entire deer family. Like the moose, he carries an antler crown that tempts sportsmen to long, leg wearing tramps in faraway places, and except in oi>en countries, where his kind gather in immense herds to feed on the moss barrens, he is one of the most difficult of game animals to get a shot at Both the bull and the cow of the caribou tribe wear antlers, the latter’s being more delicate in beam structure and not so widely bladed as those of the bull.

Where there is lack of snow to aid the tracker in translating the this-way-and-that of a caribou trail a cunning like that exercised by Kipling's Mowgli in the story of the “King’s Ankus’’ is quite necessary for success. Being extremely restless, the caribou, even w hen eating or drinking, is not content to glean his fill from one place, no matter how abundant the food. It is a nibble here, a slip there, and so on until rods and sometimes many acres are covered in satiating a mild hunger. The natural food is a moss which is to be found on bog land from Maine to the limit of vegetation in the north, and the ash green, beardlike moss peculiar to spruce tops in the big woods. I This latter sustenance comes to them ' after logging operations or when a 1 hurricane tears through the solitudes and lays flat scores of trees. Because of his restlessness the Indians called him the wandering one, and that's what his Latin name suggests. His natural gait is a trot, a iong. swinging, tireless trot which eats distance with the sureness and steadiness of brook flow. Here today, he may be fifty miles away tomorrow and back again the day following. Unlike the deer and moose, the caribou never plans to yard up for winter. His feet are large and deeply cleft, his ankle joints flexible, aud when he walks in the snow his dewclaws touch, the whole spreading out into a kind of snowshoe. After the light, fluffy snow of a heavy storm packs and settles the caribou can go over it fast enough prevent being run down by a huu%r on snowshoes, and his winter hoof is so constructed, with updrawn frog and sharp edges, that he can make full speed on glare ice. The caribou is gregarious in his habits, not Inclined to be quarrelsome with his fellows and, besides being a wanderer, is extremely shy. When a herd bivouacs for a rest it is usually in a woody opening or on the windward side of a bog. This scheme of precaution permits of eyes to open and nose to cover, and. being both keen of sight subtle of scent and acute of bearing, nothing more tangible than a cloud shadow can approach without being seen, beard or scented. Curiosity sometimes brings serious trouble to the caribou, as, for instance, when being trailed. Long before a tracker walks to view the animal knows he is being followed and will shift his course in order to avoid his pursuer. Very often the hunter, unaware that the quarry is within gunshot, is being quietly looked over by the caribou, who has made a detour to survey bis back track from a flanking position. Once he gets his eyes on the hunter his curiosity increases, and the desire to learn more about the two legged outfit who has been following his spoor usually results in a bullet being sent in his direction. The young of the caribou are reared and schooled in remote, lonesome places in the depths of the timber. When the calves are three or four weeks old they are coaxed and butted into jumping over logs or blow downs that later in life they may know better than to hesitate when fleeing from danger. The deer is a natural jumper and will take a fallen tree or a fence for the sheer fun of jumping, whereas an untutored caribou will duck under or go around. The calves as well as the mature animals are very fleet of foot, es[>ecially when frightened into a run. That gait, however, is not natural for them, and if kept at it for any considerable time they tire. An Oldtown (Me.) Indian, once asked if caribou ever were dogged in Maine, seemed surprised and said: “Dog d' caribou? I guess no! D' ; caribou he run so blame fas’ he don't leave no scent,’’ which Is a good description of the speed with which they measure distance between themselves and danger.

I The range of the woodland caribou \ is from Maine to the great lakes, j though from Maine, where years ago many fine herds roamed through the upper wilderness of the state, they seem to have vanished. A close sea son law was enacted for a number of years to give them an opportunity to multiply, but the belief of old hunters who know caribou is that they set out for a long trek down across the New Brunswick border for virgin spruce, i moss and bog lands new. I Great herds of caribou roam the for- ’ ests of New Brunswick. Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, and there are thousands upon thousands of them in Newfoundland. A full grown bull will 1 weigh from 250 to 300 pounds.—Boston ’ Globe.
