didn’t have a dog. If I cripple a rabbit 
my dog will find it and that adds one 
more to my bag. 
The dog is a friend of man and, if 
properly trained, he will do anything he 
wants him to. 
Mr. Atkinson says a city man can not 
have a dog. I beg to say that he can. 
If he has a 30x50 ft. lot he can make a 
pen about 6 ft. square, and go to a store 
and get a barrel or a box and put it in 
the pen. Then he can get in touch with 
some good man and see what kind of a 
dog he hunts with ; then see w’hat he can 
get one for and when he makes the deal 
and has his dog safe in his kennel he can 
go out with his gun and dog when the 
season opens, and say : “I will not leave 
any more rabbits for the foxes and 
skunks to eat at my expense ; and when 
I get my limit I will put the chain on 
my dog and go home rejoicing. If I 
have more rabbits than I can eat I will 
give them to my neighbors who have 
not the time to enjoy such good sport 
as I have had.” 
When I am standing on a high stump 
and see my noble dog bringing a rabbit 
around, I like to think that he is surely 
going to be mine when I shoot. 
I w’ish we had some way to protect 
the game better. Some of the game 
wardens in Indiana are not worth their 
salt and I would like to tell them so to 
their faces. Mr. Atkinson wrote about 
some of our so-called sports; those who 
can afford to go on big-game hunts and 
get the finest heads, and leave that which 
God gave us for meat for the wolves 
and such beasts to devour. And they 
have to have guides to get the game 
for them. They are what I call hog 
getters, not hunters. 
Show me the man who will go out 
and hunt his game and kill without the 
aid of a guide and I wdll show you a 
true blue sport. 
A cousin of mine went up in Canada 
to hunt big game and he killed a moose, 
but all he brought home was the head. 
He told me how he killed it and all about 
the trip. When he had finished I said : 
“John, how many guides did you have?” 
“We had four,” he said. “Do you think 
if you had not taken a guide with you, 
you could have gotten close enough to 
shoot it?” “No,” he said, “I would have 
been afraid to go out of the cabin.” 
Then I said: “The guide got the moose 
for you.” “Well, he helped,” said John. 
The sooner this kind of hunting is 
stopped the better it will be for the 
younger hunters. The old saying goes 
that the Indian has destroyed the game, 
hut I say it is not true. The white man 
has destroyed more game than the Red 
man ever did. 
Let us hear from some big-game sports 
for I am a game sport myself.

STOP-NETTING IN FLORIDA 
Dear Forest and Stream; 
1 HAVE been an interested observer of 
the fishing in the region around 
Sarasota, Florida, for many years. Hook 
and line fishing in all parts of this chain 
of bays was formerly excellent. But for 
eight or ten years it has been steadily 
deteriorating till now it is practically 
ruined. This fact is conceded by all 
disinterested and impartial observers — • 
who know what good fishing is — and are 
acquainted with the facts at first hand. 
I know for a fact that in many parts 
ravaged by stop-netters, even cat-fish 
and pin-fish are now scarce. 
What is the cause of these conditions? 
Unrestricted, illegal stop-net fishing with I 
miles of nets with meshes one inch i 
square that rake these waters as with a 
fine-tooth comb. 
The question naturally arises: Is 
there no law to prevent these outrages? 
Yes, there are laws enough, but they are 
not self-enforcing. We have an alleged ^ 
fish-warden in town, who I am informed 
prevents stop-netting under his nose in 
this immediate vieinity; but who is ab- 
solutely inefficient in the general and im- 
partial enforeement of the lazv. As 
everybody knows stop-netting is illegal 
at all times of the year; but I have never 
yet heard of a stop-netter being inter- 
fered with by an officer of the law. I 
have myself seen stop-netters in active 
operation in open daylight, without let ■ 
or hindrance. 
The only argument -these violators of ‘ 
the law respect is force — I know of one 
instance years ago where a rough-neck 
and his gang drew up their net to the 
shore in front of the residence of an 
old civil war veteran in his absence and ' 
littered his water-front with dead fish. ‘ 
On the next visit this man appeared with i 
a Winchester rifle and in the mildest , 
manner assured the boss that unless he 
removed his nets at once, he would “be- 
gin to throw lead at him.” After fervent ; 
and loud conversation with God the boss • 
rough-neck retired making dire threats;: 
hut he never returned, and no ill re- 
sulted to the veteran thereafter, though j 
this boss was reputed to be the worst ' 
“bad-man” on the bay. 
My advice to gentlemen of the angle 
is to visit regions where the law is re- 
spected and enforced and the fish pro- 
tected. Inquire beforehand as to con- 
ditions and do not be “fed-up” by inter- 
ested parties whose tales surpass those 
of the Arabian Knights. 
King Fisher, 
Florida. 
There is much to be said in favor of . 
placing marine fisheries under federal 
control. A large proportion of the spe- 
cies of marine fish are migratory, just 
as birds are. Lazos restricting their cap - , 
ture should be based on a knozvledge of 
each fishes’ habits, including its migra-i 
tions. Federal lazvs, so based, zvould( 
meet with a respect not always accordedl 
those now existing . — [Editors.] |
