Shooting in Michigan is fine; deer, ducks, 

 quails and rabbits being plentiful. 



A party of hunters, composed of some of 

 Detroit's best known men, have been hunt- 

 ing deer with dogs. They shoot — or rather 

 slaughter — game at their preserve at Turtle 

 lake. I make the prediction, however, that 

 they will not be bothered about their hunt- 

 ing with dogs. They were prosecuted for 

 hounding, a few years ago, but got off in 

 some mysterious manner. Still, they are 

 not the only people who violate the game 

 laws here, and get off without a fine.

Coot shooting commenced here on Oc- 

 tober ist and whenever there was a good 

 day sportsmen were fairly successful. 



The bass fishing was not a success last 

 season but great sport was had with snap- 

 ping mackerel. These splendid little fish 

 were here in quantities. The only trouble 

 about catching them was the scarcity of bait. 

 Fifty to ioo was a fair average to the rod 

 while the snappers were here and everyone 

 had a good pull at them.
