Chicken Hunting Better This Year. 



Reports received by the daily papers from their correspond- 

 ents all over the state indicate that the chicken and partridge 

 shooting will be about 25 per cent better than it was a year 

 ago. Chicken hunters have already attested to this fact. 

 The duck hunting, say these sportsmen, is about the same as 

 it was last year. There will be about as much quail in the 

 creek bottoms as there was a year ago, they say. 



Chicken in the North. 



The prairies adjacent to the Red river are holding their own 

 as the best chicken country in the state. However, the 

 chicken have come east and in the cleared lands in the cut- 

 over regions many sharp-tailed grouse are to be found. The 

 chickens have also reappeared in the southern portions of the 

 state. Such are found in all parts of the state. 



Daily newspapers have been kept informed by their cor- 

 respondents relative to the prospects in the various towns. 

 The following conditions were reported, to one of the daily 

 papers. This list is not complete. What there is of it, how- 

 ever, was furnished by reputable correspondents. It is ap- 

 pended hereto with the hope that it may help some Nimrod 

 who is planning to get out into the open and "bag some game."
