The past season has been one that brought 

 us more than the usual sport with the gray 

 squirrel. From the beginning of September 

 until the end of October, there seemed to 

 be thousands upon thousands of them mi- 

 grating Southward. Buffon says, " The 

 gray squirrel migrates to immense dis- 

 tances. It crosses rivers on a piece of pine 

 bark and uses its tail as a sail." I would 

 like to know if any of the readers of Rec- 

 reation ever witnessed anything of the 

 kind. Where do these frisky little fellows 

 come from? Why do they migrate? Where 

 do they go? W. B. S. 



Quail and grouse shooting was good in 

 this part of the State last fall, and some 

 large bags were reported. Quail wintered 

 well, and the prospect for shooting next fall 

 is good. Snipe were quite plentiful this 

 spring. Michigan has a law prohibiting 

 spring shooting, but there were several 

 hunters shooting, on the marsh above town, 

 almost every Sunday during April. We 

 have 2 game wardens in town but they do 

 not seem able to stop unlawful shooting.

The ad. in Recreation brought me 57 

 replies, and I could have sold a dozen rifles 

 and revolvers.
