With Wavies in Manitoba. 
Carman, Man. Dec. ii .—Editor Forest and 
Stream: We had no wavy goose shooting in 
or around this district, but with several other 
gunners from Winnipeg I went west. 
About 120 miles from here we got off at Bell- 
view Station. Seven miles northeast of the sta¬ 
tion is Oak Lake, a great resort for geese and 
all kinds of ducks, but principally mallards, pin¬ 
tails, redheads and blucbills. 1 his last named 
duck gave all of the others fine shooting over 
decoys. 
As I was ill nearly all last winter with hemor¬ 
rhage of the lungs, I kept out in the stubbles 
in holes dug in the feeding grounds, but strange 
to say they did not like the wheat stubbles as 
well as in former years, but would feed more 
on barley stubbles and summer fallows, where 
had good ten-bore ejector guns would generally 
get four shots into the flock before they would 
get out of reach. In this way, when we could 
keep the boy and pony with us, we got fairly 
good shooting nearly the whole of the day, as 
the geese would fly perhaps three or four miles 
and alight again. As a rule from io to 3 P. M. 
the wavies would prefer to alight on the bare 
summer fallow rather than on the stubble field. 
They generally fed mornings and evenings in 
the stubble fields. 
1 he wavies I shot were in the best condition 
I ever got them, very fat and tender, but as a 
rule when I shot them at a good height they 
would burst open when they fell on the stubble. 
This was about the 23d of October. They 
left here from the 1st to 10th of November, and 
my brother’s wife, who went to southern Cali- 
WALTER WINANS AND A BOAR HE SHOT.

New York Legislature. 
ht New York Assembly, Jan. 7, Mr. Smith 
>ced a bill which provides for a close 
until Sept. 15, 1911, f or grouse, quail and 
1 Westchester, Putnam and Rockland. 
Northrup has introduced a bill in which 
roposed to remove altogether the protec- 
i hares and rabbits in Dutchess county. 
the young green grass was coming up after being 
freshly harrowed. 
The gray geese had left, but the snow or 
wavies were there by thousands, but the tin 
decoys, which I had painted white, did not 
seem to draw the large flocks. I had the best 
luck in decoying ones, twoes and threes, as where- 
ever the large flock alighted they kept up such 
a noise that you could, hear them for a mile 
away, and these would decoy all the geese which 
would be flying either east or west for a mile 
or more wide. One could not crawl to the 
large flock in any shape. 
The farmer’s son where I boarded had a fast 
running pony and we got him to come on to 
the large flocks from the west side of the wavies, 
and we placed one shooter to the north, one to 
the east and one to the south of the flock, and 
when the boy saw the large flock start to arise 
he would put the spurs to his pony and run 
right into the flock as it were, and the geese 
would scatter out in all directions, and those who 
fornia for her health, wrote my brother that 
as she was going through on the train in north¬ 
ern California the gray geese and wavies were 
on the green wheat fields by thousands as thick 
as she had ever seen them in this country. 
I should be pleased to hear from some of the 
southern sportsmen what luck they have had with 
the wavies since November when they left our 
northern climate. 
As the season for moose and elk shooting ex¬ 
pires here on the 13th of December I will let 
you know what luck our moose shooters had 
when they return. 
The white rabbit is very plentiful here in the 
scrub, and now when we have no snow, the 
boys have fine sport shooting them with their 
.22 rifles. 
I see the pr’irie chickens very frequently fly¬ 
ing over the town here in the mornings. I had 
one fine afternoon’s grouse shooting. My setter 
worked fine in a green barley second growth.
