Moose-hunting in Canada - the Attack, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Moose-hunting in Canada - the Attack, 1858. View of...an attack on snow-shoes, the victims being a pair of female moose. The moose is the largest of the deer tribe, sometimes attaining the weight of one thousand pounds, and is the largest wild animal frequenting the forests of America...During the winter they resort to the dry mountain ridges...Their flesh is coarse, but well flavoured, while their lips and tongues are always considered among the luxuries of the wilderness. The favourite months for hunting the moose are March and September, although numbers of them are killed during all the autumnal and winter months...When the snow is soft...[the moose] sweep through it without difficulty, and at such times it is difficult to keep up with them...Though not all orthodox, there are five methods by which the moose is killed in the several British-American provinces: By creeping upon them in the autumn and winter; "calling" the bull moose, in the autumn, when he is wild, fierce, and roving; running them down on snow-shoes, in February and March; bringing them to bay with dogs; and by the mean practice of snaring'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
