HUNTING GROUNDS OF FLORIDA.

 should go farther South 

 into a more unsettled 

 country .

 throughout Florida. The 

 best quail shooting which 

 I have ever enjoyed I 

 had at what is known as 

 Dago Prairie, about fif-

 prise, on the St. John's 

 River. Enterprise at one

time was noted for its 



quail-shooting. On one occasion, using three dogs, I found fourteen 

 coveys, and killed eighty-two birds with a twenty-gauge gun, reach- 

 ing the hotel before dark. This occurred several years ago, and 

 probably better sport may now be had in the flat woods west of Lake 

 Worth or south of Tampa. I merely mention Lake Worth and Tampa 

 as there are good hotels at both places, but as far as the quail shoot- 

 ing is concerned it may be had almost everywhere in South Florida.
