—and the trail to camp does not seem 
so long, and the fellowship of the open 
fire is richer for such experience. Do 
you wonder that I sing the praises of 
the Fisherman’s lunch? It has come 
to mean as much as the capture of the 
trout.

time at least, been a fixed quantity, and 
it appears that the sixteen and twenty 
guns are rapidly becoming so. It is 
really wonderful what these small-bore

ean’t be outdone. Some of them may 
even be familiar with the enormous 
eight bore which was quite extensively 
used in time past, especially for wide 
range duck shooting and for wild 
geese. These guns are practically ob- 
solete and almost a curiosity at this 
time; but if the reader is interested, he 
me, drop in at Schoverling, Daly &. 
Gales, 302 Broadway, any day, ask for 
Mr. Borchers, Manager of the retail 
department, and he may see two of 
these enormous guns. He will wonder 
how any man could ever use such a 
cannon in shooting even for part of a 
day. I know not their true weight, but 
at a guess, would say, eighteen to 
twenty pounds, figuring an ordinary 
ten gauge at ten pounds or more. For 
all-around bay shooting, the ten seems 
most suitable, as with four and a quar- 
ter drams (34 gr.) of ballistite powder 
(Dupont Powder) behind one and one- 
eighth oz. of BB or No. 2 shot, a kill 
may easily be made at seventy to 
eighty yards. While the smaller bore 
guns are much easier and more com- 
fortable to handle, they would more 
than likely be found wanting in mak- 
ing a kill at this rather generous dis- 
tance. Even with a ten gauge, most 
every duck hunter has, at some time or 
other, made long range successful shots 
which have surprised himself even 
more than his companions.. This may 
go to show that the proper judgment 
as to just how much to lead your 
bird is more important than distance 
within, of course, proper and reason- 
able limitations whether a ten or 
smaller gauge gun is used. But in the 
long run, I feel the ten is most suitable 
for the larger game birds.
