PIONEER GOLD FISH FARM, Racine, Wise. 
like shooting at rifle bullets. It is no 
disgrace to miss them clean. To make 
a “double” on a pair of teal passing 
in a high gale, is, in my opinion, the 
“top-notch” of wing-shooting. 
Along about nine o’clock the flight 
began to “peter out.” We got a stray 
shot occasionally, but these were all at 
single birds, and flying high. In this 
river-marsh duck-shooting it is a first 
principle to drop your birds in the 
open water. A duck that drops in the 
tules a few feet from the edges is 
almost certain to be lost, as these 
rushes are about fifteen feet high and 
too dense to penetrate with anything 
short of a Cuban machete. The old 
shooters are past masters in the art 
of shooting ducks so that they will 
fall in open water, and they are per¬ 
fect stoics in the line of restraining 
their eagerness to fire, when the ducks 
would fall in the thick cover if killed. 
Going in from the “blind” we came 
across an old shooting pal of ours who 
had a bunch of sprigs in his boat, and 
we paddled back to the landing after 
taking a few pictures of the marsh 
and its surroundings. We saw a fine 
array of live wild mallard decoys at 
this camp, but the flight of mallards 
had not yet commenced to come in 
from the north. We were, each of us, 
away under the limit of twenty-five 
birds apiece, but we had all thoroughly 
enjoyed the shoot and promised one 
another to “remember the Alamo” 
when the later flights had begun to 
darken Southern California skies, and 
bring the birds down from the north. 
All highways are posted here by the 
signing system of the Automobile Club 
of Southern California, and we got 
our licenses to shoot at their El Centro 
branch office. The early flight of 
sprigs was uncommonly good this year, 
and we expect fine shooting later when 
the mallards, canvas-backs and later 
flights of sprigs come south. We get 
few black ducks here—the dusky mal¬ 
lards—but about all of the others come 
into our lakes and marshes during the 
shooting season from October 1st until 
January 15th. 
Duck-shooting is a royal sport, and 
the Federal Migration law has literally 
worked wonders in making it infinitely 
better than when Spring shooting held 
its baleful sway. 
Ducks have increased in unbelievable 
numbers since 1913.
