ANOTHER GREAT OFFER 



A Hudson Gun Cabinet

This offer is made possible only by the 

 fact that I have secured several of these

 with compartments, racks, drawers and 

 shelves for guns, loaded shells, empty shells, 

 reloading tools, bullets, shot, wads and

 everything else that goes to make up a com- 

 plete hunung or fishing outfit. 



These are excellent specimens of work- 

 manship and handsome pieces of furniture. 

 They are an ornament to any library, din- 

 ing room, office orden, and every sportsman 

 who has a home should have one of these 

 cabinets.

I like the way you go for the hogs, and 

 1 noted with pleasure the scoring of Sam 

 Geary, Dave Pentz and others of Southern 

 Oregon. I know them and know their man- 

 ner of hunting. The sooner they get into 

 the clutches of the law the better it will be 

 for the deer. There is another outfit at 

 West Fork, Oregon, the Olesons, who 

 make their living hide hunting. Another 

 man at West Fork also hunts hides for a 

 living. I have forgotten his name, but will 

 send it to you if I get it. I spent 3 years 

 prospecting in the part of Oregon that 

 these razor-backs roam over. The sooner 

 they are sent up the longer game will last 

 in their country. 



Though we have no fish hogs in this 

 camp, there are plenty in the State. Here 

 is something I saw in the Weekly Orego- 

 nian of July 21 : 



"Forest Grove, Oregon, July 17. — Sat- 

 urday afternoon and Sunday morning 

 Councilman C. A. Roe, Constable Harry 

 Wescott, Mayne Abbott and John Bris- 

 bine caught 626 trout in the Nehalem^river. 

 This is believed to break the record for 

 Washington county." I should hope it did!

Have mailed you local paper giving an 

 account of the killing of game by Indians. 

 This is by no means the first offense of 

 this nature, but it is the second attempt at 

 arrest in the history of the county. For 

 years Indians have been in the habit of 

 coming from the Pine Ridge reservations 

 into our State in bands of 10 to 50 and 

 slaughtering game in and out of season. 

 Wyoming has as well-framed game laws 

 as any State in the Union, but they are 

 not enforced. At least in this county there 

 has been no attempt to enforce the law, 

 except in one or 2 instances, where war- 

 rants were sworn out by private citizens. 

 Many of our people are not in favor of 

 game laws. Even now some of our countv 

 officials are urging the recall of the deputy 

 sheriff from his chase of the Indians, on 

 the plea that it will impose a large and 

 unnecessary expense on the county. Their 

 narrow minds cannot conceive how great 

 a revenue would be derived under the ex- 

 isting laws were they enforced and our 

 game protected. 



W. T. Hobbs, Jr., Lusk, Wyo. 



I thought I would write and tell you how 

 much game I have killed this season. The 

 first day I was out I killed 34 quails and 10 

 rabbits. I sent part of these to one of my 

 friends, and he said they were not shot up 

 badly. That was because I got 14 of them 

 at one potshot. I got another pot, which 

 brought me 18 birds. I shot all my rab- 

 bits sitting, because I could not hit them 

 running. The fourth day I killed 27, which 

 I call a very small bag. I hope you will 

 print this in your magazine and show the 

 public what a record in shooting I can 

 make. I call myself an all-round sport. 

 Success to your subscribers in getting 

 good big bags of game. 



Burt Smith, Upper Sandusky, Ohio. 



ANSWER. 



And you call yourself an "all-round 

 sport!" You should say an "all-round 

 hog." That is what every decent man, 

 who reads your letter, will call you forever 

 after, and you may as well adopt the title 

 now as later. I trust it may not be many 

 years before there will be a law on the 

 statute books of your State to send such 

 swine as you to prison for good long terms.
