They have a bear shooting law in Mis-
sissippi which, in view of the contem-

not because a. shotgun is not the sports
mans weapon. as some think, but be-
cause the shotgun scatters its load and
makes hunting in the cane dangerous
for hunters. The rifle, having but one
bullet, and that bullet being aimed at the
bear, is safer SO far as the other hunters
are concerned
