Mr. DUGMORE has imparted the affection that be himself entertains for his chosen beast.  Although he shoots with no more formidable a weapon than a camera, the dangers and risks that he has run would appal many of the sportsmen whose aim is to destroy and not to study the lives of animals.  He has, however, no contempt for hunters, provided that they will play the game and give a fair chance to their quarry.  Another point in his favour, which appeals mightily to me, is that after nine consecutive seasons in Newfoundland he confesses that his knowledge of the caribou is still incomplete.  This means that, when he does make an absolute statement, you may be pretty certain that it is true.  If I ever have to argue about the habits of caribous, there is one shot that will remain in my locker until the very end of the argument, and it will be, “Well, DUGMORE says so.”
