WHY the Fox Gun 
Is Superior to All Others 
it proves 
to be in every particu¬ 
lar as good as we claim. 
Hereareafew “Foxreasons”— 
We so distribute metal in the “Fox” as to give maximum strength with minimum 
weight—it is the best balanced and safest gun built. In the light, symmetrical frame of the 
A. H. FOX GUN 
we put a firing mechanism positively simple in principle and construction—it reduces the more cumber¬ 
some action of competitors by half and multiplies their strength by two. The “Fox” employs coiled 
main and top-lever springs which we guarantee unbreakable. The top-lever locking bolt on the Fox 
Gun can never shoot loose. Men who have shot the “Fox” under all conditions for years verify this 
statement. The beauty of the A. H. Fox Gun is beyond question. Built by experts, oi the finest 
material and rigidly tested, the man who buys a “Fox” is assured of possessing 
“THE, FINEST GUN IN THE WORLD’’ 
Let us prove these claims—write for free literature. Better yet, buy a “Fox” and prove them yourself.

GAME PROTECTION CRITIZED-. 
The fish and game commissioners of Con¬ 
necticut have reported the amount of over 
$ 20,000 received for gun license, and they intend 
to expend this money for the protection and 
propagating of game birds, says M. H. Barton 
in the Hartford Courant. I would like to state 
that at this time this expenditure of money of 
which each hunter has r jntributed his share, is 
utterly nonsensical, until our trespassing law in 
regard to hunters is modified. 
According to the law the hunter practically 
has no chance to hunt on any land except that 
which he owns or leases. This idea of protect¬ 
ing and raising game birds for the hunters of 
this State, looks very nice on paper. Already 
New York and Massachusetts clubs have sent 
men into this state scouring for land that is 
available to lease as hunting grounds. If the 
commissioners want to stock these grounds 
with birds and after they are well stocked are 
leased to clubs, so that the average hunter who 
pays his license cannot hunt, what does it 
amount to? Twenty thousand dollars is a lot of 
money to expend for birds and their protection, 
especially if for the chosen few. 
I think that it is about time that the hunters 
should get together and have some rights and 
receive some value for the money which they 
contribute. The fish and game commissioners 
of Connecticut have shown how able they are to 
give the public a chance to fish for trout. They 
have distributed trout all over the State of 
Connecticut in unposted brooks (according to 
their books) and yet there is not a stream of 
any size stocked with trout, that is not posted, 
and if they passed out game birds in the same 
manner that they passed out game fish, not 
knowing where they go, only by their 'books, 
what would it profit the average hunter?
