Quail Shooting 



among sportsmen, and lie is certainly 

 out of place among quail. 



It is cause for congratulation that 

 so much has heen done for quail pro- 

 tection and preservation through the 

 enactment of laws for that purpose. 

 But neither these nor their perfunc- 

 tory enforcement will be sufficiently ef- 

 fective. There must be, in addition, an 

 active sentiment aroused in support 

 of more advanced game legislation, 

 and of willing, voluntary service in aid 

 of its enforcement; and in the mean- 

 time all belonging to the sporting 

 fraternity should teach that genuine 

 sportsmanship is based upon honor, 

 generosity, obedience to law and a 

 scrupulous willingness to perpetuate, 

 for those who come after them, the 

 recreation they themselves enjoy.
