40 of the antlers. The Indians called beefsteak, "French moose-meat." Due to their killing being governed now by restrictive laws, moose are still plentiful in their original habitat.

Only one moose may be shot by one person in Nova Scotia, and in New Brunswick only one bull moose, one bull caribou and two red deer, in a season. The non-resident's license fee for big and little game is $30 in the first-named province, and $50 in the last-named. A Nova Scotia small game license (rabbit, mink, otter, woodcock, snipe, duck, goose, plover, grouse, partridge, etc.) costs $15.

The moose of New Brunswick are said to be more numerous and somewhat larger than those of Nova Scotia. The size of the body does not necessarily gauge the proportions of the antlers. The moss bogs of Nova Scotia are more accessible than those of the sister province, and guides and license fees cost less. Camping accommodations in New Brunswick are more luxurious and appeal to those who like to do their hunting, as well as everything else, on a rather grand scale. As indicated in Note Two, the railways which serve principal game regions issue well-devised literature for the aid of visiting sportsmen.
