FOREST AND STREAM. 



country for natural attractiveness. They bear a growth of 

 superb timber, and a fine sward, which makes them charming 

 for S summer drive or a summer party. 



I was iu Quincy, 111., at the time of the recent pigeon tour- 

 namptlt, which attracted brethren from many prominent hunt- 

 ing localities. Prospects of the coming grouse and quail 

 id were freely discussed, and notes compared. Con- 

 clusimis were reached that the season had favored the grouse 

 equally with the quail, and that capital sport with chickens 

 •would begin with the open season. I cannot attempt to give 

 details of what were claimed to be the best stocked grounds, 

 bftt there is no question that grounds good heretofore are 

 better now. A factor toward this was the warmth of last 

 Winter, which was prohibitory to slapping, thus saving thous- 

 ands of birds from the market hunter. Kansas, perhaps, 

 offers the greatest field for quail and grouse in the States. 

 Immigration is narrowing the bounds of the latter and increas- 

 ing them in the former. 



The settlement for the first six months of this year has 

 been equal to that of the three preceding years for the same 

 perio I. The estimate nominally is 4.0,000, and the land sales 

 of the Kansas Pacific and the Alchinson, Topeka and Santa 

 Fe mads alone reaching 3,000,000 acres. Quail follow the 

 wake of settlement, and as this extends now nearly 300 miles 

 weal of the eastern border, it can be seen what a "territory is 

 opening for their occupancy. Ttirce years ago I was through 

 Saline and McPherson counties, about the centre of the State, 

 and then well on toward the western limit of settlement. 

 The contrast now is very marked, with a minimum of prai- 

 rie and cultivated land commanding as high as $50 per acre. 

 For the past two years, in many localities hereabouts, quail 

 had beeu scarce, owing to destructive snow-storms, and the 

 hunters, by common consent, have not disturbed them The 

 birds have recovered and are again unusually plentiful. I 

 nowhere saw more of them than in these counties. Grouse, 

 too, are uncommonly plentiful. The Kansas game law of 

 '70, making it penal for any express, railroad or common car- 

 rier to transport game, has, bb far as 1 can learn, been a dead 

 letter. The hunter can scarcely go amiss for game in this 

 State the present season, and the late shooting in the southern 

 part of this State and in Southwest Missouri will be particu- 

 1 irly good. The December grouse shooting in the districts 

 s ated, and in and bordering on the Indian Territory, is far 

 a leud of the summer shooting, when the birds are enervate 

 a id sluggish of flight. There is some excitement in hunting 

 the grouse when they are fuil grown, alert and vigorous in 

 flight, and exact as much diplomacy and grouse-craft almost 

 as iu hunting wild fowl. 



Colorado on its plains bears no inducements for feathered 

 game, and the experiments that have been made to introduce 

 quail and other game birds near the mountains, as far as I 

 cm learn, have not been encouraging in their results. There 

 is line, hunting in the mountain parks for native game, and 

 the fishing is also excellent. The Denver and South Park R. 

 R.. which is extending along the South Platte River, is mak- 

 ing that fine trout stream available. Experiments with fish 

 culture have been successful, as demonstrated near Manitou 

 aud other places. I was much interested in the experiments 

 at Green Lake, a body of water covering 100 acres, a mile 

 above Georgetown and very near the snow line. It has about 

 100 000 California salmon in it, which are thriving finely, 

 and" about 40,000 of both Rocky Mountain and eastern trout, 

 the earlier hatching of which have a growth of from one to 

 three pounds. The fish are very tame, and follow and flock 

 ;vioul your boat as you cross the lake. .None of them have 

 In ten taken yet for market or other purpose. The hatching- 

 house is large and very complete, but operations have been 

 suspended for some time, owing to litigation regarding the 

 ownership of the property. 



The Atchinson, Topeka aud Santo Fe R. R. in the spring 

 talked of organizing a sportsmen's excursion to hunt on the 

 Hue of its road in Kansas and in the mountain districts of 

 Colorado the coming season, but I have not heard if the pro- 

 tect has taken any definite shape. The programme would be 

 to equip a special train with a camping outfit, and to locate. 

 at desirable points for grouse and quail, buffalo aud antelope, 

 and to close with a fish and hunt for mountain game in some 

 favored locality in the Rocky Mountains. As the object 

 would be to make better known the resources the road had to 

 offer to sportsmen, rates would be fixed at a practicable and 

 tempting figure. The scheme is feasible, aud if the road 

 undertakes it, it has that kind of enterprise that will make it 

 agreeable and satisfying to those who join it. All of the 

 Western roads have sportsmen in their management. 1 do 

 •not know of an exception, but, on the contrary, from presi- 

 dent down, could name those skilled with the gun and keen 

 in pursuit. Consequently they know the requirements of 

 sportsmen, and many of them have established rules in their 

 interest regarding tariffs, stopping-off conveniences and the 

 sbollsnifJg of dog fares. The Western roads are getting few 

 which give cause for dog-charge complaint. It would be well 

 for the Southern railroads to take this abuse in hand and re- 

 form it. Their excessive dog fares make the carrying of flogs 

 prohibitory, and thus diverts sporting travel from their clis- 



A few years ago, in company with a member of the Audubon 

 Club, ( Uuoago, who seemed to monopolize the knowledge of the 

 spot ' I had capital fishing and shooting at Hobart, forty DlUeS 

 east, of Chicago, on the Port Wayne Road, but I learn, though 

 still good, that its secret has been discovered. The number 

 of pickerel and bass that could be taken there in a troll up 

 the little reed bound stream was amazing. Hobart then was 

 a house or two, now it is a village. The extensive retd 

 marshes and the channels there about Monroe, Mich., must 

 be a field to remain rich in fish and fowl for a long period. 



Among all the roads in good case in the West, the Pitts- 

 burg Fort Wayne, and Chicago deserves mention lor the 

 superb condition of its road-bed and track— nor. in parts, but 

 in whole. I remarked this, and the smooth movement, and 

 steady cars, to a German gentleman, who, with his family, 

 was traveling extendedly in this country, and he said he had 

 been on no road here or in Europe whose condition equaled 



As regards the game laws of the West, the difficulties in 

 the way'of their execution is the large districts to police. 

 The main benefit is reached through the cities by the enforce- 

 ment of the law which forbids the sale, or exposure for sale, 

 of game at stated seasons. What is wanted is an enactment 

 that will reach the trapper and pot-huuter, aud joint action, 

 with uniform laws as to close seasons, etc., by States of simi- 

 lar latitudes. The spirit of the Western sportsman, as lar as 

 mv observations have extended, is loyal to their game inter- 

 est They re ard ' ' . s of things, and if by mischauce 

 a district is depleted, it is given time to recover, by common 

 consent The diminishment of game comes through the com- 

 mercial quarter, and it is berejtuat the legislature should direct 

 it8 attack.

IN WESTERN TEXAS. 



SAN Antiv.-.Tm, J'i-Xm Jnl.i J ' 1 i', :. 



Mr. Editor : We ttnve a fine country Here, and one as yet mil ot game 

 IhU no game laws, and I fear the spun ot liberty (?) has such a hold on 

 tlienaiivoTexauthal.lt will tats a targe influx ol people from the 

 older states, who can see by experience the folly of killing the goose 

 that lays golden eggs, to change public, opinion enougli to influence 

 the legislature to pass laws for preserving game. A few of us here 

 have done our best to organize and keep alive a shooting eluU, and we 

 some mo ney trying to make the same attractive to sports- 

 men generally, and to induce them lo fake a hand ; but when any one 

 can take their guu, and in two or three hours get a dozen or two of 

 quail, plover, ducks, or snipe, as the case may be, to say nothing of 

 rabbits (or rather hares), squirrels, doves, larks, etc., It is hard to get 

 up much enthusiasm at blackbird or glass ball trap shooting. 



Last year was exceptionally dry, and the email migrated westward 

 for better cover, but. this spring and summer have been very favorable, 

 and now you can frequently stand in the centre of this city of 20,000 In- 

 habitants, aud hear some old cock whistling "Bobwli ■ i 

 or chicks, for the first brood is now out, and able to fly. (Let me hero 

 say in parenthesis that quail have three broods in Texas when the 

 season is favorable; so you may know that if the cover is good, bo that 

 they oan protect themselves from hawks, they will Increase to spite SI 

 pot hunters and Mexican trappers. I venture to say you can liairtly 



Una a day for the next five or six uiouthu when Lucre v 



trapped quail offered for sale at the markets here ; price twenty-tlve to 

 sixty cents per dozen,) From present appearances, I would bo 

 making a gnod, safe bet to wager that I can, with one gun and one dog, 

 average for the next four mouths, forty quail a day. In a few weeks 

 the upland plover (called in Louisiana " pappe-botte") will cover all 

 the open ground, and they are the best, small game we have for the 

 epicure. Any body can get forty or fifty of them in an afternoon. 

 They will remain here until winter sends them farther south. Next in 

 order come jacksnipe ; then ducks, geese, brant, and the various kinds 

 of fowl which hibernate here. In the winter wild turkeys are offered 

 for sale freely, price 16c. to 40c eacn, and all fat and large. I have 

 seen a dozen wagon loads on the market at a time, and saw one man 

 sell out his whole load of sixty-two turkeys at the same rate the grocer 

 sells pounds of sugar, viz., eight for $L Venison Dams are in full 

 supply every winter at from 20c. to 50c. each for large fat ones. 



We are not so fortunate as to our supply of Ash, for the Mexicans 

 havo pretty well seined out the streams within ten or twelve miles of 

 this city, and the fisherman is forlnuate wlio can capture a good mess 

 in half a day. The San Anionio River would be a splendid one to 

 stock, as it come3 out of the ground only four miles from the city, and 

 rtiD8 a bold, deep and clear stream. It Isn't straight, though, by any 

 means. Put a four-feet snake in a six-inch jar of alchohol, and you 

 have a fax-simile of the curves in our river of the first ten miles 01 its' 

 existence. I would Hke to know what kind of fish would be Ihe best 

 lo stock with, and how to proceed to have the thing done. 



Take it all in all, I think the sportsman who would not be satisfied 

 with the country here would be hard to please, and I advise 

 the spoilsmen who are blessed with a fair shi 

 to give this vicinity a call, and stay a winter, 

 will be a happy time— one that will do to look I 

 We have some g:od shots here, aud some, vei 

 of the blue blood you speak of so lughiy.

 shots here. So we have ; aud also some who remind one of the old 

 Dutchman who, on being told by his English friend who had bunted 

 tigers In India that he. "didn't care to hunt, unless there win an ele-
