. Frank Forester's field sports of the United States, and British provinces, of North America. . e, find a place ; though, in truth, the deer-hunt-ing is so idle and contemptible, now-a-days, in that part of theStates, as to be hardly worthy of notice ; while the pursuit ofthe Moose and Cariboo, although really a grand field sport, anda very noble exercise, requiring pluck, power, wind, sinew, speed, and endurance, is so rare and difficult of attainment, asto present little attraction to the general run of sportsmen.
