Show HAD AN' OBJECT IN POSING j. Moose Didn't Stand for Her Photo, graph Just to Accomodate the Camera Holder. A moose out In the wilds does not stop to pose for her picture. There is generally a reason for the peculiar actions of wild things. In the current issue of the Hunter-Trader-Trapper, published in Columbus, O., hunters write of their experience. "We had an early start Thursday and Sam soon proclaimed that his iipe foretold moose. The first bend was rounded and knee-deep in the water stood a fat sleek cow. Our canoe advanced toward her, the camera set for an exposure. Sum called softly and she advanced a hundred hun-dred feet toward us, ears erect, with a curious 'what are you' manner. "At 75 feet she stopped and posed for the picture, and then waited until we were 50 feet away before she turned Into the woods.At the top of the bank she waited for us to pass before be-fore crashing into the timber. "Her action was explained when we turned the bend and at the water's edge saw her calf, a fine four or five months' old fellow, which climbed the bank and was away after her at once." |
