AN OPINION ON TRAP-SHOOTING. 



Daksville, N. Y., Afurrh 23d. 

 Editor Forest and Stream ."— 



In a March, 1SS0, issue of EoifBBT and Stream, picked up at

 light week for trap-shoot ing, 1 ligure as follows, under the head 

 of " Shooting Matches " :—

At the head of some of the scores I notice, " Birds very wild ;"

 shooting; and yet I hold it to ho 



igj ",i of the gentlemen who sa 



Is it any credit to a man to stand twenty-one paces from a 

 piunge-trttp, and with a 10-bore gun, good for a mallard nl sixty 

 yards, knock over ten successive tailless, frightened pigeons Erji 

 whom long confinement has extraclca three-fourths of all the lifu 

 they ever had? Are gentlemen doing right iu encouraging tho 

 netting of these birds, by offering fancy prices for them! Istfils 

 doubtful industry of any praetii 

 uals? On tho whole, is not tl: 

 slaughter at the 

 my humble opinic 

 held iu this assert 

 lowing reasons :— 



But a few years ago wild pigeons wero abundant, and plenty 

 of real exciting sport could be had In pursuing them. Now, owing 

 to the sudden and reprehensible mania for trap-shooting that has 

 taken possession of our sportsman, they are, liko the Messina 

 quail, very scare. Constantly pursued, they are melting away> 

 and soon will be only known to natural history as an extinct 

 species, and another generation, in traversing tho corridors of 

 the Smithsonian, will erowd about a single specimen of Ecijopfsiss 

 miijratorius (if haply one be left by tho trap-shooters for this pur- 

 pose) and say, "Behold the bird our fathers sacrificed to a relic ot 

 barbarism called trap-shooting." 



In following out. these nnnihilatory measures, sportsmen are, 

 to quote an humble apothem, but " Biting their own noses off." 

 They are precluding the possibility of any sport in that not far 

 distant futuro, when the game in our thickly settled districts 

 shall have become extinct; for the pigeon, when not too much 

 harassed, frequents the haunts of man and offers a magnificent 

 alternative In tho absenco of what our sporting writers are 

 pleased to term "legitimate game." 



Many of us cau look back ivitb pleasure to the time when tho 

 great docks used to visit us semi-annually in the spring and fall, 

 and v,e are ready to stoutly affirm that, although in the interval 

 we have had our fill of pinnated grouse shooting in the West, and 

 quail shooting in the South, we never quite reached that standard 

 of pure en joyment meted out to us on the hills about our own 

 native town, when, stealing out iu the gloaming, we have taken a 

 favorable position near some newly sown wheat Hell, or contigu- 

 ous to some oak or beech woods where the mast was plenty, and 

 midst the music of rushing wings and booming gun becamo al- 

 most satiated with pure unadulterated sport. 



is it too late for a remedy f Tho ghastly scores published Baph 

 Week— the apathy of our law-makers, who say, " Shoot not tha in- 

 dustrious woodpecker," "Bring uot down Iho soaring Sight 

 hawk, but the pigeon thou canst shoot at will at nil tin 

 thou canst tako thy nets even to tha borders of bin nesting 

 grounds," seem to say, " Too late." And yet thero 13 a chance to 

 bring I his beautiful little bird back to its former state of plenty, 

 and ibis is tlie suggestion: Tell tho woodcock^ quail, snipe, raffed 

 grouse (ft id acnus omnc) to move along and make room in their 

 ranks for tho pigeon ; let him become a recof 

 as such protected by law. Make for him ft c 

 nesting places inviolate; taboo the net; fr 

 and it is done. 



It would require no small amount of self-denial on the pari of 

 sportsmen to give up tho trap. But so long as the glass ball fills 

 the 10S3 so completely, no thinking sportsman ought to hesitate. 

 One can get the same exerciso; the sun a fresh air can exert his 

 skill to as great a degree, improve his shooting just ns much, and 

 all the lime have that serene consciousness that he is not contrib- 

 uting his mite toward annihilating the pigeon. Wo have purse 

 cutod him long enough, bet us reverse the order of things, and 

 elevate him to tho dignity of game— a position ho will uot dis- 

 grace, either on the wing or in the pie. Then shall our ohfldr'ea 

 enjoy the fruits of our efforts, and the bloody dolaila which every 

 week deface tho pure columns of this paper shall be done away 

 with. 1-i.W. .Del."
