S04 WILD FOWL SHOOTING, 
The descriptions given here of the manner of hunt- 
ing geese apply to all species found throughout the 
Northwest. I have confined this sketch to the shoot- 
ing of Canada geese, because they are the largest and 
most desirable to hunt. With them, throughout 
Nebraska and Dakota will be found associated all 
other varieties, such as Hutchin’s, Snow or Laughing 
goose, and Brant. In the long narrative given of their 
habits and resorts I have explained fully how to find 
them, and after haying found them, how to hunt them 
according to the most approved method. If I have 
succeeded in this, then my object has been accomplished ; 
and the reader can rest assured, that should he be 
blessed with the opportunity of finding the flight of 
these birds, which can only be done at the right season 
and place, and will then try toremember the result of 
my own practical experiences as set forth by me, and 
bearing them always in mind, faithfully follow them 
he cannot fail of success, and will feel more than re- 
paid for his patience in carefully reading this chapter, 
for in it is shown how to find and kill wild geese under 
all circumstances.
