With Camera and Jack-Light in the Tree Line

“A strong light, so screened as to leave the holder in complete shadow behind it, has long been known to enable a hunter, if absolutely silent, to approach very closely at night to various kinds of animals. Deer and moose, snowshoe rabbits, lynxes, bullfrogs, and other creatures stand fascinated when the white glare approaches them out of the darkness...The law now punishes the use of a 'jack-light' by hunters with a gun. For the camera hunter, however, there is no closed season.” -Henry R. Carey
