Légende

Moose-hunting in Canada - the Encampment, 1858. Hunters in autumn. 'The favourite months for hunting the moose are March and September, although numbers of them are killed during all the autumnal and winter months...The shores of Moosehead Lake, in the State of Maine, has for many years been one of their favourite haunts, and it is asserted that within the past winter no less than six hundred of their carcases have been left on the shores of that lake by the hunters, who had slaughtered them for their skins alone. This was certainly a great waste of the bounties of Heaven, but it was undoubtedly impossible to convey the venison to market'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
