182 Where to Hunt 



The bays and marshes of New Jersey will always 

 furnish good marsh-bird and duck shooting. Snipe 

 come to the marshes in the spring and autumn. The 

 water-fowl will forever be found in greater or less 

 numbers in spring and autumn. These latter birds 

 consist of the shoal-water and sea-duck, geese, and 

 brant. Almost every variety of migratory marsh-birds 

 is to be found in the state. 



Barnegat bay has long been known as a resort for 

 wild fowl. Good shooting is still to be had there in the 

 season. There is good marsh-bird and wild fowl 

 shooting in Atlantic county. The Hackensack mead- 

 ows in Bergen county are the tarrying place for snipe, 

 and a great many birds are annually killed there. 

 In Cape May county there are to be found both upland 

 and aquatic bird shooting. 



Stillwater in Sussex county is mentioned as a place 

 where small game is abundant, the woodchuck being 

 very plentiful. 



Tremley, considering that it is only about forty min- 

 utes' ride from New York, is a good place for marsh- 

 birds. Yellowlegs are generally found in the adjacent 

 marshes in the season. 



In the neighborhood of Perth Amboy fair quail and 

 rabbit shooting is generally found ; there are flights of 

 woodcock there in the season, and at the right time 

 good wild fowl shooting may be had on Raritan bay.
