Shell ’Em, Sell ’Em, Hell ’Em Bill! 
Sang the market hunter gaily, “I can shoot with either 
hand; 
Handle ‘pump’ or ‘automatic’ with a skill to beat the 
band. 
I can whang ’em when they’s flyin’, I can bang ’em 
sittin’ still; 
I can stop ’em and can drop ’em from the water, air or 
hill. 
“I’m out among the feathered tribes at early break o’ 
day; 
For it’s early shots and often, that makes market-hunt¬ 
ing pay. 
And I slip ’em out and shin ’em out in box and bag 
and crate; 
And it’s fun to make the money while the public pays 
the freight. 
“Oh, I shoot from hell-to-breakfast every day the law 
permits. 
And for every hundred shots I make I score a hundred 
hits. 
So long as I can collar half a dollar for a bird. 
I’ll shell ’em and I’ll sell ’em—take a market-hunter’s 
word. 
“Excuse me while I laugh at ‘bag-limits’ in the law. 
It is to make amusement, so I emit a long guffaw; 
For you’ll never catch me tripping while I’m shipping 
all I shoot, 
And the rake-off that I take off nearly fills a rubber 
boot. 
“Now why should I go plow the ground, with ducks 
upon the bay? 
And I can shoot for profit; why should I work for 
hay? 
So I’ll pop ’em and I’ll drop ’em from early morn till 
night. 
And do my best to lay to rest the last lone duck in 
sight. 
“I am reapin’ of a crop Nature planted for man’s need; 
And I’m gleanin’ it a-plenty—takin’ head, and straw, and 
seed. 
If you are fool enough to rule that I shoot ducks for 
loot, 
Then don’t you cry when bye-and-bye there are no ducks 
to shoot.” 
—Harry IParper, in Capitola Sentinel
