The hunting of game animals, as the lion, tiger, leopard. etc., will be found treated under the titles by which they are described. (For the fox, see NG. ) Bears are still found through out the United `Yates. but owing to the increas ing proximity of man, and the increased employ ment of arms of precision. they have become ex ceedingly wary, and in many instances even timid. They may be found in the Catskill and Adirondack mountains in the East. the moun tains of North Carolina and West Virginia. and in South Carolina, Mississippi. Georgia. Florida, Arkansas, and the mountain-, and forests of the \Vest. They are hunted with rifles. and by the aid of dogs. Hunting the hare with beagles (q.v.) is a very popular sport in 1•ngiand. partly for the exercise it affords, and partly for its economy, in that horses are not required.
