Deer on Long Island are being exter- 

 minated mostly by sportsmen ( ?) from 

 Brooklyn and New York. The firing lines 

 around Bay Shore, Islip, Oakdale and other 

 places were crowded, the men being 50 or 

 75 yards apart for nearly 3 miles. Some of 

 the participants got 4 to 5 deer in a morn- 

 ing, mostly does and fawns. Some got on 

 private grounds or club enclosures and 

 were saved. I am told that about 500 deer 

 were killed in the 5 days' shooting. 



A heavy license should be imposed on 

 non-residents in townships where deer are. 



Plenty of broadbills, shell-ducks and 

 brant on the Great South Bay, and in the 

 fall a few black ducks and pintails. Ducks 

 seem to be increasing now. The successful 

 method of getting these is from a blind or 

 scooter. 



I wish you and the L. A. S. could do 

 something for the protection of our deer.

I find, as several friends of mine have 

 found, on looking over the different 

 sporting publications, that for valuable 

 reading matter and up-to-date news, Rec- 

 reation far surpasses all. Your maga- 

 zine does not fill its pages with scores made 

 by everybody from the Atlantic to the 

 Pacific, but gives good reading matter with 

 plenty of good illustrations.
