Teceived with a warm welcome at the beginning, and have 
been of sustained interest. The Men I Have Fished 
With” was among the most popular stones of papers ever 
presented to Forest and Stream readers.

DUCK SHOOTING 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
No single gunner, however wide his experi¬ 
ence, has himself covered the whole broad field 
of duck shooting, and none knows so much 
about the sport that there is nothing left for him 
to learn. Each one may acquire a vast amount 
of novel information by reading this complete 
surprising. For hundreds of years the Lapps 
pursued them on the wastes, sparing neither age 
nor sex. For success in killing them the nomads 
made their greatest sacrifices to their gods; to 
compass their death or capture they exercised 
all the perseverance, skill and endurance of which 
they were possessed; and to become an expert 
hunter of rein was the young Lapp s highest 
ambition from the time he could first bend a bow. 
The oldest method of capturing these animals 
was with the bow and arrow, these being set in 
a narrow place, either formed by nature or by 
the felling of a quantity of trees, through which 
the deer had a track. Later they were taken by 
means of snares. For this purpose hundreds ot 
trees were cut down and formed into long fences, 
often five or six miles in length; and in openings 
arranged every here and there, strong snares, 
made of the plaited sinews of deer, were placed. 
These were put out early in autumn, and were 
not removed until the first heavy snowfall. 
Rein were also taken in deep, round, or oval 
pits, which were excavated in rows, the one after 
the’other, of ten or fifteen, usually on a high, 
narrow, and long tract of sand or morain, by 
the banks of some river or lake to which the 
deer were in the habit of resorting in summer 
to eat the moss which grew there. The pits 
were covered over with twigs, branches, leaves 
and grass; and at the bottom of each there was 
placed an upright spear, made of hard wood or 
of iron, so that when the animal fell in it was 
transfixed. Of such pitfalls there are many re 
mains to be found in Finmarken, and far south, 
in Nordland, where the Lapps wandered on the 
Sagvandene in Hammero, on the neck of land 
between the second and the third lake some veiy 
well preserved ones may still be seen. Here. is 
exactly the kind of place where one can imagine 
a herd of deer running down from the wooded 
slopes above, and out on to the neck, m order 
to cross th'e narrow stream. But now the pit- 
falls and the heaps of stony debris where the 
Lapps after a successful drive sacrificed to their 
gods are thickly overgrown with small trees and 
undergrowth—the deer have ceased to exist.
