Old Colony Fishing and Shooting. 



145 



Between Buzzards Bay and Province- 

 town the mink, rabbit, fox and raccoon 

 are still taken. In the heavy woods of 

 lower Plymouth, Sandwich, Falmouth, 

 -and Barnstable the deer still roam in 

 considerable numbers. In the eastern 

 neighborhoods, duck, plover, yellow- 

 legs, quail, geese and "grass birds ;" in 

 Truro, quail, snipe, plover and duck ; 

 in Yarmouth and Dennis, c^uail, part- 

 ridge, yellow-legs, snipe and duck ; in 



Bourne and Falmouth, partridge, quail, 

 and sea fowl are reported as among the 

 rewards of the sportsman ; and the cor- 

 responding sections of the Cape are 

 equally desirable in this respect. 



It is safe to commend the waters of 

 the Old Colony and its neighborhoods, 

 inland and ocean, to the sojourner or 

 tourist who desires piscatorial sports as 

 a feature in his outing experiences, as also 

 for the gunner under similar conditions.
