SNAKE STALKING.
The Sport Has Been Followed Many
Years in at Least One Mary
land County.

81 read an item copied by the Sun
from a Maryland paper the other day."
said an Old-time Marylander, (which
spoke Of snake shoting down there as a
new sport that had come into vogue
among gunners. The man who wrote
that item never lived in Anne Arundel
county or he would have known more.
Long, long ago the native sportsmen
Of that country discovered that along
in the spring Of the year blacksnakes,
garter snakes and mOeeasins, Of all Of
which Ann Arundel county has a good
many to the acre, gathered IN their an
nual lo7e-maIing affairs in great num-
bers. It was also discovered that the
snakes at that particular time Of the
year were bold and fearless, and
would not hesitate to attack on
sight any intruder in their tryst-
ing places. This gave the idea that it
would be great sport to make targets
Of the serpents, and such proving to be
the case the sport Of snake stalking
came into existence, and has been a
branch Of the art Of cunning, in that
part Of Maryland at least, for more than
so years. The mOccasin snake and his
cousin, the cottOnmOuth, are the two
snakes that the stalker particularly
loves to make his game.
'sThe mOccasin looks dull and rusty
on land, but his back lights up into
beautiful kaleidoscope markings when
in the water. When the warm spring
sun casts its rays down on the pools in
which the moccasin lives and finds his
prey, he comes to the surface and
hangs on to a jutting bush or strong
weed, or crawls out upon the banks and
lies stretched at full length on the grass
or sand. He is shy and VIII hurry away
quickly at the approach OF a man, ex-
cept at mating time, and then he viii
show you a pretty fight. And you had
better not let him bite you. His bite
may not XIII you, but it would be better
il a whole nest or hornets rested on
you and enjoyed themselves there than
that one little water mOccasin should
touch you with his fangs. But his
cousin, the cottcnmouth, or stumptail
mOccasin, viii bring your last VIII and
testament into service as certainly as
cholera or yellow fever. The poison
tooth Of the cOttonmouth is as deadly as
the rattIesnake's, and when he hears
you coming he won't run away or warn
you like the rattlesnake. He viii lie
low and wait for you, and plug venom
into you If he possibly can. There is
considerable fun in stalking stump
tail mOccasin when he is absorbed IN
his lOve-making, and you want to make
sure Of your aim when you draw
bead on him.
The proper and spOrtsmanlike way
Of cunning for snakes IN Anne Arundel
county is to carry a snake rife and
shoot for the head. The sportsman
who doesn't bag his game by shooting
its head OF isn't looked up to much
The man who would 60 out after snakes
with a shotgun IN Anne Arundel coun-
ty would be sadly talked about The
favoEite rife Is Of 22-caEber, and 20
yards range is the least an expert
snake stalker asks. a mOccasin head
can be plainly seen at that distance,
and many a shot among the snake hunt
ers doesn't brag any If he doesn't knock
OF eight heads out Of ten that show up
at that distance.-N Y. Sun
