Parker s Prairie. There is abundance of grouse on the uplands, ducks and 

 geese on the ponds, ruffed grouse in the thickets, with good woodcock shooting. 

 There is only one objection to Parker's Prairie as a resort for sportsmen ; it is so 

 far from the railroad that one cannot dispose of the game he kills, neither can it

 the grouse and ducks he can consume ; consequently the killing of game' there as 

 a sport degenerates into needless butchery. As a place to break young dogs and 

 spend a few days in lu.xurious idleness among the hospitable settlers at a mod- 

 erate cost, we know not its equal in the State. Parker's Prairie is reached via 

 wagon road from Wadena (which see). Fine duck, goose, woodcock and other 

 shooting can be found on the route.
