Fun in the prairie chicken districts
began last Friday and the pursuit OF
these deniZens Of the Stubble and the
Swale has been continued increasingly
by hundreds Of hunters Some report
chickens very scarce and wild, Others
say the quantity is as large
as usual in this vicinity. One
noticeable and suggestive fact is
that those who have we'll trained
dogs make the big scores, although the
first day was the banner one for rec
0rdS. Since Friday it seems to have
been difficult for most Of the parties
to raise many cOYeys or to bag big
| hunt, no matter in what direction
they Travelled. The following scores
have been given to US by the respect
i've parties, total Of 1913 birds killed
while there are enough others whom
we were unable to interview that
would round out a thousand dead in
| Wood county.
