THE GAME BREEDER

Tamarack Farms, Dousman, Waukesha County, Wis. 



WILD DUCK POODS 



Wild Celery, Sago Pond Weed, Widgeon Grass, Red-Head Grass, Chara and other foods which 

 attract water fowl. We have the best duck foods which will attract and hold the game and which 

 impart the finest flavor to the flesh. We plan and arrange the plantings suitable to all waters. 



GOOD SHOOTINO 



DURING THE OPEN SEASON 



I am prepared to entertain a number of sportsmen who wish to shoot wild geese, Canvasback and 

 other wild ducks and quail, snipe, etc. Only small parties can be properly looked after. Appoint- 

 ments to trv the shooting and learn about the wild duck foods are made by correspondence.

can find is that "we say so" ; the "we" 

 being a few people who collect vast sums of 

 money to save the game. 



I shall be very glad to work with the Sur- 

 vey, as I have with many intelligent people, 

 provided the work laid out seems .intended to 

 encourage the production of game as a food 

 supply, which of course incidentally means 

 the preservation of field sports in America. 

 You can readily, see that, as a sportsman, it 

 would be vqry unwise for me to make an 

 application under your regulation since you 

 require me to enter into an agreement with 

 you in writing that I will give up field sports. 

 This is the effect of the regulation. I am 

 surely right in my idea that a preserve is a 

 place where game is properly looked after 

 "for the purpose of sport." I do not care to 

 shoot 25 ducks in a day provided the ducks 

 cannot be used as food. I cannot afford to 

 produce a lot of ducks or quail or other spe- 

 cies of food provided I cannot sell some of 

 them in order to pay, at least, a part of the 

 cost of production. As a matter of fact, I do 

 not believe it will be interesting or profitable 

 for me to attempt the breeding of any species 

 of game unless part of the cost be charged 

 to sport, as it is in every civilized country. 



I can hardly believe that you do not under- 

 stand the subject. It has been well said that 



the way to bring about the repeal of a law is 

 to see that it is executed. The same is true 

 of regulations. Many good results have been, 

 brought about by test cases in the courts. I 

 wish to know if you propose to enforce the 

 regulation which says I cannot shoot and sell 

 a bird which I own. Your answer to this 

 seems to be : "It is our duty to enforce the 

 law and regulations as they now stand." I 

 wish to call your attention to the fact that 

 the regulations were made almost in the 

 twinkling of an eye. It is perfectly plain, 

 therefore, that if they are wrong they can be 

 unmade as speedily as they were made. I 

 believe there will be a hearty response from 

 sportsmen -of my acquaintance who will ask 

 for permits, provided they will not be required 

 to agree that they will abandon field sports; 

 and since the statute was enacted to increase 

 food production it seems to me that you 

 should be willing to abandon your regulation, 

 which seems to discourage food production, 

 and to see that you act in harmony with the 

 statute and not in violation of it.
