accordingly reduced. As I have observed, 
when these small guns are used on ducks 
by the average shooter, there is always 
the chance of only wounding the bird 
which then, unfortunately, often escapes, 
to say nothing of the number of shots 
which miss their mark altogether. 
Therefore, the small gauge gun should 
be confined to the good marksman and 
one who is familiar with its use. In such 
hands the strong-shooting little 16- or 
20-gauge will account for a goodly num- 
ber of ducks during a day. 
T ,pE family of river-ducks contains 
"’’our finest wild ducks, or at least 
a greater number of fine birds than 
does the sea-duck family. The canvas- 
back, a sea-duck, is a splendid bird both 
before the gun and on the table, and 
there are a few other excellent birds in 
this group. However, the best of them 
sometimes have a sedgy or fishy flavor, 
due to their feeding on fish or the sedgy 
plants of the salt waters, while some 
other members of the family are always 
undesirable for food. 
All the river-ducks are excellent for 
the table, especially so when found on 
fresh water, and afford magnificent 
sport as well. 
The mallard, one of our largest and 
finest table-ducks, heads the list. Others 
of equal value follow. Then v;o come 
to the teal, the smallest of our wild ducks, 
whose flesh is tender, juicy and delicious 
in flavor, and whose tremendous speed 
in flight together with its small size 
renders it one of the most difficult marks 
in feathers." 
The wild ducks having the finest plum- 
age are also included among the fresh- 
water fowl. The mallard and pin-tail 
are both very handsome, as are the teal, 
the widgeon and the shoveler, while the 
gorgeous wood-duck is easily the most 
beautiful duck in the world. 
There are many places both on the 
coast and in the interior where splendid 
sport may still be had with the river- 
ducks. Many of the varieties still come 
in goodly numbers to the bays and 
sounds of the Atlantic Coast, while on 
the Pacific and Gulf Coasts and in sec- 
tions of the interior they are far more 
plentiful. 
Our water-fowl are probably nowhere 
so abundaflt as they are in the Missis- 
sippi Valley and along the coast of the 
Gulf of Mexico. According to the Bio- 
logical Survey, seventy-five per cent of 
the migratory wild-fowl of the United 
States and Canada spend the winter 
about the delta of the Mississippi River 
and in the great marshes along the 
shores of the long coast line of Louisi- 
ana. Here, I believe, there are some 
350,000 acres of marsh lands set aside 
as refuges, where all hunting is pro- 
hibited and where the ducks, swans, 
geese and brant, and many others of our 
aquatic birds, both game and non-game, 
gather each winter in countless thou- 
sands to rest and feed in safety. There 
are also other preserves at different 
places throughout the country. As may 
well be imagined, the over-flow from 
these refuges furnish excellent hunting 
in the adjoining regions. 
In this day of rapidly vanishing game, 
of ever increasing numbers of hunters, 
of furling grounds and wild places ever
