Grouse Scarce in Rhode Islan: 
Provence, R. I., Noy. 3.—Editor Forest 
Stream: To the smallest State in the U 
comes the honor for the record and finest mi 
head to date from the wilds of New Brunsw 
Dr. W. L. Munro, of Providence, being the h 
sportsman. The doctor’s record moose head 
an antler measure of 68% inches from tit 
tip, while the ‘best heretofore showed a Sp1 
of 67% inches, and the Providence man is 
first from out the Province of New Brunsy 
to hold the record. 
The doctors form a good portion of the spo 
men who have gone after big game this y 
Dr. Tea] Smithoso¢ Valley Falls, who ace: 
panied Dr. Munro, securing a caribou and 
a moose with an excellent head. The two I 
sicians hunted through the Tobique River 
Bathurst region and the big moose was ki 
in the Nepisiguit River ‘section. 
Dr. B. F. McDermott, of Providence, also 
turned from Maine last Saturday bringing y 
him _a moose and the law's allowance of di 
M. C. Clark reports good success in New Bru 
wick, getting his full quota of deer with a bl 
bear on the side. The bear gave Mr. Clarl| 
surprise party, putting up a good fight and ne¢| 
























































reaching the hunter before being put out 
commission. 
Messrs. Broley, Norton, Kirk: and Nicker 
have met with success in their trip to the Ma 

woods, Mr. Nickerson securine two hands 
bucks and a magnificent specimen of a bl 
bear; Mr. Norton secured a’ buck also, and| 
is reported endeavored to tie Nickerson by 
attack of buck fever. Mr. Broley hunted We 
a camera and secured his share of the d 
family. 
Friday was the opening of the local game si 
son, and the woods and fields have been yw 
covered by hunters who report birds extreml 

scarce and wild. the scarcity of ruffed grojl 
being accounted for by the long period of droit 
during which the ticks flourished to such 
extent as to almost exterminate the birds, wh 
appeared to winter well, but many died dur) 
the early summer. The spring hatch was a gc. 
one and the chicks were not hampered by sev 
weather, and had it not been for the inroads | 
the parasites, excellent bags would have be} 
made. 
Quail are reported abundant along the N! 
London pike and through the Greenwich, Ap! 
naug and Wickford country, and it looks 
though the hunters would have to depend up! 
these birds for their fill of the winged tribe. 
Gray squirrels and rabbits are plentiful, Kir 
ston and Scituate being the best grounds | 
this shooting. 
A severe blow has been dealt the hunters 
the recent law’ put into operation by the troll 
company forbidding the carrying of dogs on t 
cars, 
Woodceck are seldom thought of here duri 
late years, the sport not being followed to 
a| 
extent, as the birds begin to migrate about t| 
time the season opens. Occasionally a huni! 
will scare up a few stragglers, as was the ca 
with Fred Read, of Manton, who secured fo] 
within two miles of that village last Friday. 
Quite a little strife has waged this season {| 
a record “squit.” J. E. Dawson, of Providen 
offered early in the season a loving cup to t] 
man who caught the biggest squeteague, the fi 
to be exhibited in his windows. Sever 
handsome specimens have I: shown from tit 
to time, but the record and cup have finally 20
