BIRD DOGS AND AUTOMATICS 



You are making a good fight in a good 

 cause when you oppose the use of pump 

 and automatic shot guns. I hope you will 

 win. I think, however, you should include 

 in your denunciation that most potent of 

 game-bird destroyers — the bird dog. 



The most swinish of men armed with the 

 most deadly weapon 'will, hunting alone, 

 kill fewer upland birds than will an ordi- 

 nary shot using a single barreled, gun and 

 aided by a pair of good dogs. A man with 

 an automatic can flush a covey of quails 

 and get 4, 5 or 6; a man with a dog, if his 

 dog is half a good one, can get every bird 

 in the bunch. If, for instance, we had to 

 walk up our grouse, these birds would be 

 thicker in the woods than fleas in a dog

 up the steps of the Capitol

 for his fun, hut it was 

 worth the money to know 

 the power of the Cadillac*

kennel. The only excuse for the use of a 

 bird dog is that he can find a few crippled 

 birds which he would otherwise lose; but is 

 it not better to lose a few birds, even to let 

 them die in misery, than to exterminate all 

 game birds ? Quail shooting over a dog is 

 less of a stunt than clay-birding. Dogging 

 grouse is a little harder, but it often gives 

 3 or 4 shots at a bird one could not find 

 at all without the dog. 



If man-and-ferret is a combination to be 

 spit on, what better is man-and-dog? 

 Both supplement human intelligence by an- 

 imal instinct, and for what? Merely to 

 circumvent animal instinct after all. When 

 we cut out the automatic, let's cut out tfie 

 bird dog.
