250 Where to Hunt 



quail shooting may be secured. In Montague county 

 quail are said to be very abundant. Near Galveston 

 there are many quail, and a great many are shot annu- 

 ally; snipe shooting is also good through the winter; 

 and the pinnated grouse or prairie-hen are still found in 

 good numbers. Very large bags of quail have been 

 secured in Weimar in Colorado county, and it is still an 

 excellent place for these birds. 



Texas is the winter home of wild fowl of all kinds, 

 and sportsmen have enjoyed the best of that kind of 

 shooting on the Texas coast. 



Duck shooting may be found near Galveston, Rock- 

 port, and other Texas coast cities. Port Lavaca, in 

 Calhoun county, is a place where there is generally fine 

 duck shooting in the season. Near Rockport, in 

 Aransas county, there is good wild-fowl shooting in the 

 season. Gregory, in San Patricio county, is also good 

 for duck shooting, Nueces bay being the resort of many 

 wild fowl.
