RECREATION. 



strictions on its inhabitants; but England 

 long ago found the necessity for game laws. 

 Without that protection there would be no 

 game on that island, and I for one am glad 

 that the game laws are at last being en- 

 forced in this country. The land owners 

 in England are not a mean class of people. 

 They only hold their own against poachers. 

 When the land owners kill their game they 

 are generous in sending presents of game 

 to all dwellers within their respective dis- 

 tricts; even to the poorest cottagers.

This club is making strenuous efforts to 

 prevent any and all unlawful shooting and 

 fishing in Bradford country. Mr. Charles 

 F. Sinsabaugh is one of the most aggres- 

 sive members of the club, and, in fact, its 

 organization is largely due to his efforts. 

 The club has 119 members, most of whom 

 are subscribers to Recreation. 



We do not have much "game here. Quails 

 and chickens are scarce. Once in a while 

 we find a few grouse. Please tell me what 

 kinds of game are found in Oklahoma. 

 Max Metzner, Arapahoe, Neb. 



ANSWER. 



Quails, turkeys and deer are natives of 

 Oklahoma. Ducks, geese, snipe and plover 

 migrate across that region in the spring 

 and fall, but should never be shot anywhere 

 in spring. — Editor. 



I left here November 8th last and went 

 to Hubbard county, Minnesota, where I 

 enjoyed myself immensely. I got 3 deer 

 and had 2 fine heads mounted by J. D. Al- 

 len, Mandan, N. D., whom I can highly 

 recommend. I used a 303 Savage. I was 

 told by old settlers that game in Hubbard 

 county is increasing. I enjoy Recreation 

 and am getting other people interested as 

 fast as possible. 



Henry Kelsey, Aurora county, S. D'. 



I appreciate fully the co-operative ser- 

 vice the League has given me during Jhe 

 past year. It has resulted in deterring 

 many violators of the game and fish laws 

 as well as in bringing several to justice. 

 Tf the protective departments of the several 

 States would co-operate more actively with 

 the L. A. S. their work could be made 

 doubly effective.

Sanford Bell was hauling maple sap near 

 Shokan and left his team a few minutes. 

 A deer came scampering along and stam- 

 peded the horses. They in turn fright- 

 ened the deer, whereupon it jumped against 

 a wire fence and broke its back. Grouse 

 and quails are abundant here. Rabbits are 

 numerous; so are game hogs. 



G. Van Beuschoten, Shokan, N. Y. 



I have hundreds of quails and rabbits on 

 my land, for the reason that I have not 

 allowed any hunting for the past 5 years, 

 and I do not kill them myself. 



Norman Astley, Gilbbs, N. C. 



Moose, caribou and sheep are plentiful 

 here. The woods abound with snowshoe 

 rabbits and grouse, and in the willows are 

 plenty of ptarmigan. 



' F. W. Fickardt, 

 Caribou Crossing, Yukon Ter. 



Game wintered well and will be plentiful. 

 We have a good law. It is being enforced, 

 too, as several have found to their sorrow. 

 W. G. Kepford, Ishawood, Wyo. 



About 250 passenger pigeons were seen 

 recently flying in the direction of Oakland, 

 their old roosting ground. 



R. L. Brashear, Bowling Green, Ky. 



We have a few deer, bear and grouse 

 here and shall have more in future if the 

 work of your League can only have proper 

 support.

A yearly subscription to Recreation is 

 one of the most practicable and useful 

 presents you could possibly give a man or 

 boy who is interested in nature study, 

 fishing, hunting, or amateur photography. 



All boys instinctively love the woods. 

 Recreation teaches them to love and to 

 study the birds and the animals to be 

 found there.. If you would have your son, 

 your brother, your husband, or your sweet- 

 heart interested in nature, let him read 

 Recreation. It costs only $1 a year and 

 would make him happy 12 times a year. 



Recreation is doing more for the pro- 

 tection of our game than any other maga- 

 zine that was ever published. It does me 

 good to hear the hogs squeal when they 

 reach the scalding vat. Find cash for re- 

 newal and count me for a life subscriber.
