APPENDIX. 531 
Ottawa makes it difficult to establish the fact of the illegal killing. Would 
it not be well to have a convention of sportsmen agree on close seasons that 
would answer for all the provinces, and press the adoption of them in their 
respective Legislatures? Of course there are difficulties in the way, but these 
could easily be got over if sportsmen would only approach them in a candid 
and conciliatory spirit.
