Quotations
1866
Moose hunting lasts throughout autumn and winter, and there are several different methods of pursuing the sport, as "calling," "driving," "creeping," and "tracking," or hunting on snow-shoes, sometimes called "crusting."
1892
This [the exhaustion of the pursued moose] occurs all the sooner if the snow be covered with a thin icy crust, which breaks beneath the weight of the animal, and lacerates his legs. . . . This method [of hunting] is called "crusting."
