are here, with) 
the best practice | 
which entitle them to the merited posi- 
tion accorded them by sportsmen. Nev- 
theless, the quail is more widely dis- 
tributed and affords shooting to more 
men under different typographical con- 
ditions than any other bird known to 
sportsmen. There are no other game 
birds that lie so well to man’s most de- 
voted companion, the bird dog. The 
appealing characteristics and possibili- 
ties of every other game bird may 
safely be accorded to them, and yet al- 
together they fail to total up the quali- 
ties that the quail presents to millions 
of sportsmen. 
There is a good deal of sentiment 
that quail shooting brought about, the 
result usually of the performances of 
the bird dog. You can listen to old- 
time quail hunters hour by hour. They 
may relate with pride their perform- 
ances with the gun and linger admir- 
ingly upon the intelligence and speed 
of the bird, but no story is complete 
without a relation of the marvelous 
performances of this or that man’s 
Sportsmen may begin to talk 
talking about dogs. A  sportsman’s 
love for his dog is proverbial, and the 
height to which it attains is measured 
entirely by the little brown birds of 
the fields and the coverts, for it is 
while hunting them that the well- 
schooled dog has those opportunities 
which enable him to display that cour- 
age and determination and rare intel- 
ligence that fascinates the observer. 
It is perfectly natural for a sports- 
man to believe that his dog is the best 
that ever went afield. He knows that 
there are other dogs quite as well bred 
and quite as well loved, but the work 
of his dog is different from all others, 
and every kill he makes over his canine 
friends develops a sentimental slant 
The man 
with the plodding, close-ranging com- 
panionable shooting dog gets just as 
much pleasure and very likely just as 
many birds as the man with the wide- 
goer who does many spectacular things 
which are not always productive. 
The highest type of shooting dogs 
should be the highest type of field trial 
dogs, and there was a time in the early 
history of field trials when this was 
the way they were measured by the 
judges, but unfortunately in later 
years field trials are quite as profes- 
sional in atmosphere as the race-track.

have the state trapper system here, 
and evidently the system is wrong or 
the men executing the offices of state 
trappers are not familiar enough with 
the habits of the animals to make any 
headway toward a reduction in their 
number. 
The signatories to this letter just re- 
turned from a deer hunting trip to the 
section mentioned, and never before 
was it brought so forcibly to our at- 
tentions that the country was teeming 
with coyotes. The remains of their 
kills were found on several occasions 
and their howling at night kept us 
awake as long as our tired bodies 
would permit. The tops of the ridges 
were veritable coyote boulevards. 
We appreciate that harping about 
the situation, but. offering no solution 
in no way remedies the conditions. We 
suggest (a) Return to the Bounty Sys- 
tem on Wolves and Coyotes. Have 
each trapper eligible to collect a bounty 
from the state, registered with the 
County Clerk of the County wherein 
he intends to trap. Investigate his hon- 
esty and integrity before making him 
eligible to collect. This would minimize 
the old trick of importing western co- 
yote scalps for bounty collection pur- 
poses. The County Clerk could refuse 
the undesirable a permit to trap for 
bounty purposes. 
(b) Place the present state trappers 
on a fee basis, making it necessary for 
them to produce results in order to re- 
ceive the people’s tax money. Pay them 
$5.00 each on coyote heads and $10.00 
each on wolf heads. You would find 
that many of the present trappers 
would seek other employment if their 
income were based on the number of 
predatory animals they destroyed and 
produced evidence of having destroyed. 
And, by all means, keep politics out of 
the Game Conservation Department of 
State Government.

DEER PLENTIFUL IN WEST- 
CHESTER COUNDYAN SY, 
A DEER was recently killed by a 
Harlem Division, New York Cen- 
tral, train near Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. 
Early in the day two dogs were ob- 
served driving a pair of does. The 
dogs were hunting by themselves, and 
it is supposed that they drove the does 
across the tracks, and it being con- 
fused, was struck by the train. Own- 
ers of dogs should keep their charges 
under close observation where there are 
deer in the country. OBSERVER.
