NEWFOUNDLAND 
A Country of Fish and Game 
A Paradise for the Camper and Angler 
Ideal Canoe Trips 
The country traversed by the System of the Reid Newfoundland Company, Ltd., is exceedingly rich in 
all kinds of Fish and Game. All along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their Salmon and 
Trout fishing, also Caribou barrens. Americans who have been fishing and hunting in Newfoundland 
say there is no other country in the world in which so good fishing and hunting can be secured and with 
such ease as in Newfoundland. Information, together with illustrated Booklet and Folder, cheerfully 
forwarded upon application to 
F. E. PITTMAN, General Passenger Agent, 
Reid Newfoundland Company, Ltd. St. John’s, Newfoundland 
rabbit is simply “snuffed out.” As the 
shot is very fine and hard the game is 
killed cleanly without being torn to 
pieces, as the heavy leg bones are not 
all splintered and driven through the 
flesh. You get your game in a present- 
able condition for the table. 
This charge and the same with 6’s for 
the second shot gives a good all-round 
combination for nearly all field and 
woods shooting. The unexpected shot 
at quail, grouse, woodcock, squirrels, 
pheasants, or even turkeys, if within 40 
yards and you shoot at the head, is 
provided for. A wide spread and fine 
shot at high velocity is the real dope for 
snap shooting at short range. It’s safer, 
too, for the dog or the farmer’s boy or 
whatever it is, that once in a great while 
appears unexpectedly from the far side 
of the jungle with a yelp or a “what- 
in-hell-are-you-shootin’-at ?” howl that 
serves notice that shot carry far and 
sting. 
'"PHE relative patterning qualities of

The patterns of 4’s, 6’s and 7l4’s are 
in the approximate proportions of 7-11 
and 17 — almost 1-2 and 3, in fact, which 
shows why the smaller shot are so much 
more effective in the more open-bored 
guns. 
A full-choke gun, irrespective of the 
size of shot it uses, throws a pattern at 
5 to 15 yards, that is just about the size 
of a baseball. Practically you have no 
pattern. 
Few of us could hit rabbits or any 
other rapidly-moving game by shooting 
baseballs at them, and it is not hard to 
visualize the reason why the full-choke 
gun is unsuited to close-range field 
shooting. We must have spread of pat- 
tern at close range, and we must also 
have fine shot to get the pattern in an 
open-bored gun when firing at the longer 
ranges. 
The field gun, therefore, should be 
light, fast in action, should shoot a wide 
pattern and be bored for fine shot. The 
field load should be fast to cut down the 
lead on sharply - quartering shots; it 
should be of moderate power to give 
just the right amount of killing power 
on the average shot which for rabbits 
is about 25 yards, and the pattern should 
be ample for the average field gun. 
Rabbit shooting is good sport. Not 
all rabbits are fools, but the fact that 
some of them are adds a touch of humor 
occasionally to a day’s field shooting. 
The big red wood’s-rabbits, or the snow- 
shoes, are the “wisecrackers” of the rab- 
bit family — ready to play a trick on a 
dog or a man most any time. The 
field rabbits are easier, especially on 
warm days, but they’re all fast enough 
and tricky enough to fool us all occa- 
sionally. There’s many a chance thrown 
away between the first yelp of the beagle 
and the roast that comes out of the oven.
