Arrows for Big Game
Alan evidently has ceased to fear wild animals. Eleven parties have arranged for hunting licenses in Alaska for the late summer their •weapons the primitive bow and arrow. A few years ago even hardened trappers would not think of entering these wilds unless armed, fearing grizzly, black and brown bears, moose an,4 wolves.
Last year one bow and arrow hunter killed a huge moose; another, two great Kodiak bears, while others got black boars, all with steel-pointed arrows. Ono advantage of arrow shooters claim is that the discharge of the missile from the bow is noiseless, and does not frighten game out of the vicinity, while the firing of heavy rifles is heard for many miles.
