RECREATION. 



going to be a shoat, and I think after 

 one more year's reading Recreation I 

 shall be a real sportsman. 



C. E. Pugh, Lebanon, Ore. 



We had a good season on quails and rab- 

 bits last year, taking into consideration the 

 fact that we live 6 miles from Washington, 

 and just outside of the District of 

 Columbia. 



W. H. Miles, Chevy Chase, Md. 



Big game is fast disappearing from this 

 part of the country. There are still a few 

 antelope scattered through the bad lands, 

 but with the aid of smokeless powder rifles 

 they will soon be exterminated. 



W. D. Jeffcott, Lost Cabin, Wyo. 



I am ashamed to say that in former years 

 I thought a big bag of game meant a great 

 sportsman, but in late years from my own 

 observation I know it means a game hog. 

 I have been one of the hog family, but am 

 not now. 



P. Simpson, St. Edward, Neb. 



The first day of May, this year, my 

 father saw 2 passenger pigeons flying to- 

 ward the East. He is certain they were 

 passenger pigeons and not the Carolina 

 doves, which are common here. 



Arthur R. Hanks, Needham, Mass. 



I heard Frank Dunlap, of this city, boast 

 that he killed 40 quails in one day. How 

 can we ever have any game with such 

 bristled specimens as that roaming our 

 fields? 



Warren Dilsaver, Clinton, Ind. 



In our section of the country ruffed 

 grouse and ducks have been scarce; wood- 

 cock fairly plentiful. Bags of 4 to 14 have 

 been made by a party of 2. 



John H. Pain, Henrysburg, Que. 



Abundance of quails here last winter. 

 I never saw them so plentiful, but there is 

 no law on rabbits, and I am afraid the 

 quails will suffer. 



Elmer Breckenridge, Ashtabula, Ohio. 



Deer are showing in fairly good numbers, 

 going North, so we expect good sport as 

 they return. 



George Gillard, 

 Little Bay Mine, Notre Dame, 



Newfoundland. 



Recreation is a great magazine. I 



couldn't be without it. We have a few 

 quails, rabbits, squirels, ducks and coons. 

 John Ball, Canton, Mo. 



This is the greatest hunting ground in 

 these parts. Plenty of deer, moose and 

 wolves, and in the fall and spring there 

 are many ducks. 



H. L. Gardiner, French River, Ont. 



There are lots of deer in the foot hills, 8 

 miles from here, driven down by the snow 

 and fires last fall. 



Tom Tuttle, Florence, Colo. 



Quails are plentiful here this fall. Never 

 heard so many whistlers around as this 

 year, especially down near the beach. 



E. W. Newcomb, Stamford, Conn. 



It does me good to read your roasts of 

 those men who go into the woods just to 

 kill harmless animals. 



H. H. J., Peekskill, N. Y. 



There are more quails here this year 

 than for many years previous. 



F. M. Davis, Bloomfield Iowa. 



Quails are plentiful in this part of In- 

 diana. 



W. N. Fowler, M. D., Bluffton, Ind. 



Any Vermont sportsman will be welcome 

 here to shoot ruffled grouse this fall. 



W. R. Collins, Morrisville, Vt.
