“Where the Blazed Trail 
Crosses the Boulevard” 
20-gauge, and I have one of this gauge. 
The 20-gauge is a real gun, and it will 
kill any of the shotgun game up to wild 
turkeys, wild geese, and thence through 
the long list of game which the auto¬ 
mobile tourist is apt or sure to see. 
Thus in some regions, when the noon 
meal is being cooked, a circuit of half . 
a mile may give one a shot or two at f 
nuisance rabbits, squirrels, ducks, grouse, 
etc. Where one is going to some game 
state, and has the state license, a circuit 
around the highways and byways, with 
stop-overs of two or three days in favor¬ 
able places, the 20-gauge is the ideal 
weapon; it is not specially noisy, it is 
light in the load, and can be carried be¬ 
side the driver, or whoever is to shoot, 
and will go under a rear seat, out of the 
way. The ammunition is not bulky, and 
one can buy it in most game region 
stores. The 12-gauge is, of course, the 
standard, but the 20-gauge is crowding 
it, chiefly because of the growing feeling * 
that the sport is found in being able to 
shoot straight rather than in splashing 
the landscape with widespread charges 
* of shot. 
Should one be going into the region 
of bear, cougar and other big game, the 
30-30 carbine is the standard weapon for 
automobile touring. Longer weapons 
are so much harder to carry, unless one 
has a take-down rifle. The 30-30 rifle 
shells are to he bought in any store that 
carries ammunition in countries where 
game for this big game weapon is to be 
found. 
There is a combination weapon of 
two barrels, shooting a 22-caliber shell 
in the upper barrel and the 44-caliber 
round-ball in the smooth bore under bar¬ 
rel, which has a good deal to recom¬ 
mend it. The 22-barrel is one of the 
most accurate made. The smooth-bore, 
round barrel, especially the 18-inch one, 
throws the round hall with considerable 
accuracy up to sixty or seventy yards, 
and with deadly accuracy at short range 
thick-lumber deer country shooting. It 
is chiefly a trapper’s weapon or a horse¬ 
back arm, with its holster and folding 
stock, hut as an automobile weapon the 
advantages of convenience and readiness 
are obvious. Incidentally, the smooth 
bore shoots the 36-gauge shot shells, and 
the 18-inch barrel makes a pattern at 
twenty or so yards good for rabbits, 
quail and other roadside game. 
The automobile fishing outfit is diffi¬ 
cult to select unless one carries a variety 
of rods, artificial baits, hooks and lines. 
The reason is that in nearly every fish¬ 
ing region there are two kinds of per¬ 
missible sport. Thus down the Missis¬ 
sippi basin, black bass, catfish, perch, 
etc., are had in the same or neighboring 
waters. On the coast there is brack, 
fresh and salt water fishing from suc- 
cessive camps. Then there are mountain 
streams with brook trout and lakes with 
lake trout, and ponds with bullheads. 
Of course no one becomes thoroughly 
expert in any sport fishing if he travels 
in an automobile. He cannot and 
doesn’t want to specialize. He takes 
what comes. But he must be ready for 
the various kinds if he would enjoy the 
fishing opportunities. Without trying to 
be exact or specific it may he worth while
