RECREA TION. 



We had slow duck shooting last fall. 

 The water was so low it left little shoals 

 out in the bay (Missisquoi) where they fed 

 and moved about only after dark. Several 

 large flocks of geese were seen, but few 

 were killed. 



Hiram Longeway, Clarenceville, P. Q. 



Glad to read how you show up the game 

 hogs and all who kill game out of season. 

 You cannot press them too hard. Ruffed 

 grouse and woodcock have been quite 

 abundant in this part of the State. 



A. Brigham, Manchester, N. H. 



Fox, squirrels and rabbits are the only 

 game in this part of Iowa. They are found 

 in fair numbers. I have not seen a wood- 

 cock for several years. A few prairie 

 chickens were seen in the fall. 



Geo. A. Boling, Winterset, la. 



Game is scarce here and there is great 

 dissatisfaction on account of city sports- 

 men hunting with trained dogs. We have 

 good rabbit hunting, this winter, but gray 

 squirrels and grouse are scarce. 



R. J. Boynton, Hillsboro Br., N. H. 



Will some kind reader of Recreation, 

 in the West, where there are buffalo horns 

 on the prairie, please send me the names of 

 2 or 3 good, honest boys whom I can hire 

 to gather such horns and ship them to me? 

 O. R. Townes, Avoca, N. Y. 



A flock of 32 wild geese went over my 

 house, the other day, not more than 100 

 feet high. Had it not been Sunday my 

 Parker gun would have had a voice in the 

 discussion they seemed to be holding. 



G. H. Gregg, Moravia, N. Y. 



Was out duck shooting on Cayuga lake, 

 last fall, and brought back a nice bag. 

 There were acres of ducks on the lake but 

 they were hard to get. Shooting is not so 

 good there as it was a few years ago. 



L. W. Davis, Rochester, N. Y. 



I took the Remington out 2 mornings 

 and got 3 rabbits and 2 quails each time. 

 These were all we could use at once. I 

 never saw rabbits so plentiful as they were 

 last fall. 



Elmer Breckenridge, Ashtabula, O. 



There is excellent Chinese pheasant 

 shooting here and ducks are plentiful. 

 These Mongolian pheasants are fine game 

 birds, for sport, eating and beauty, and 

 seem to hold their own against the sports- 

 man. 



C. C. McCormack, Eugene, Ore. 



The Indians here have killed off nearly 

 all the large game, but we still have some 

 deer and antelope; also many buffalo 

 wolves and coyotes. C. M. Ziebach, 



Cheyenne River Agency, S. D. 



I got a 2 year old white tail buck the 



other day. Duck and goose shooting is 



about over. Prairie chickens are protected 



for 3 years yet. Blue grouse are plentiful. 



Harry Chapman, Vernon, B. C. 



I killed a red fox on the old Hundley 



farm, North of this place. When I picked 



him up he had in his mouth a rabbit's head, 



which he was carrying when I shot him. 



Victor Winfrey, Carbondale, 111. 



E. Jefferey, T. Dukes, and C. Cockafair 

 went to the barrens above Shalons Glen, 

 Sullivan County, and in 4 x / 2 days shooting 

 killed 103 ruffed grouse and woodcock. 

 G. Davis, Clifton, N. J. 



We are at the gateway to the Adiron- 

 dacks, and have fine hunting here. Several 

 bucks and numerous bags of ruffed grouse 

 were killed last fall. 



L. W. Allen, Westport, N. Y. 



There is no shooting here, at present, ex- 

 cept doves. Few of them are being killed. 

 I killed 6 this morning with my Marlin 

 rifle. There is also a good crop of quails. 

 E. B. Stearns, Oldenburg, 111. 



I spent 10 days at Seven Ponds, Me., 

 with a friend. We got 4 deer, 2 bears and 

 16 ruffed grouse. I am going again, next 

 fall, and shall try for a moose. 



F. Cushman, Bryants Pond, Me. 



I received " The Big Game of North 

 America " and like it very much. Some of 

 my friends have read it and all think it 

 great. J. R. Bronse, Detroit, Mich.
