The country abounds with game, the Prairie Chicken, wild duck, and geese ; and those who prefer the hounds devote 124 CANADA IN HARVEST TIME themselves to the more exciting chase of the Coyote, or Prairie Wolf. Prairie Chicken shooting com- mences on September 15th, and huge bags of eighty or a hundred are nothing uncommon. Wild duck were already arriving in August in large numbers from more northern latitudes, and flights of them might be seen rising from the reedy margins of the thousand lake...s, great and small, which fleck the face of the country. The wolf of this region, which is smaller than the European species, bat still savage enough to offer fight when attacked, though never known itself to attack man, is hunted down with powerful hounds, a pack of which forms part of the establishment of the spirited Manitoban gentleman. It is usual to follow the hounds on horseback ; but the character of the country is illustrated by the practice in wolf-hunting of riding a "rig " drawn by a pair of swift and hardy broncos, which tear at a break-neck pace over field and fallow, brake and prairie, through creek, sleugh, and coulee, or prairie ravine, the ponies understanding and enjoying the sport.
