Since then I find it ridiculously easy, 
though at times I regret a quail is so 
close it is unfit for food if shot. Try 
it on quail, ducks or any incomers and 
see how quickly you can master it. 
Quail shooting is correctly called a 
gentleman’s sport, as it is an exhilarat- 
ing pastime which all can enjoy at an 
age when other outdoor exercise is un- 
feasible. And it is a sport in which 
we can act according to all the ethics 
of sportsmanship or otherwise. Al- 
ways respect the other fellow—your 
shooting companion and the property 
you are hunting over. Never be greedy 
and shoot at birds that. are. your 
companion’s by right of opportunity. 
When, by chance, you double, always 
offer the kill to your mate. Real per- 
sistence in this amenity will break a 
shooting pair of the worst siege of 
doubling. 
Now for the farmer or landowner. 
Put yourself in his place and treat him 
just like you would want a man to 
treat your own holdings; then nothing 
further need be said, for it will in- 
clude putting up fences that have been 
knocked down, refraining from shoot- 
ing near the home or where livestock is 
kept, as well as exercising caution 
when in corn fields or in cover that you 
cannot see any distance ahead. 
And now a final plea for that won- 
derful staunch companion of man, 
without which the sport would lose its 
greatest charm. Quail shooting re- 
quires that a dog should be thoroughly 
conditioned in advance. Too many 
sportsmen overlook this and many a 
poor dog suffers untold misery from 
such frequent deplorable negligence. 
A dog should no more be put in the 
field in poor condition than an athlete 
who is to do a 25-mile cross country run. 
If the owner has no opportunity, let 
him put the animal in capable hands 
to get him in proper shape for the 
hunt. Were this done oftener, fewer 
dogs would go wrong afield with sore 
feet, or slow up badly after the first 
day’s work. 
To work properly and cover the 
great distances that have to be done 
with speed and under the most gruel- 
ling going, a dog must be fed well. 
The barbarous treatment of never 
feeding a dog before a hunt should be 
relegated among customs of the past— 
a thing inconceivable by a modern 
hunter. As with man, food is the 
dog’s fuel. He will consume lots of it 
during a day. Therefore, two hours 
before the hunt, the dog should be al- 

lowed to eat all the good solid food he! 
wants. By hunting time the food will 
be well on its way toward being di- 
gestcd. The dog will not be loggy and 
will stand more than one whose owner 
has neglected this matter. 
When the hunt is some distance from 
home, food should be transported for
