Woodville Republican., 1903-04-18

Mallards, or teals, sleeping thus on
the water in enormous throngs, will
sometimes cover more than an acre
solidly. The fire blown by the breeze
makes a fitful light over a wide ex-
panse Of water
When roost Is approached no speed
Is made. The men row softly until
they come within shot. A final stroke
Is given and then. they take up the
guns.
The ducks have all been awakened
by the light, but they make no effort
TO fly, being loathe to take wing into
the dark night. At 30 yards distance
the right barrels Of three guns are
fired and then they get up. The shot
from the left barrels rip through them
when they are ten feet above the wa
ter in an almost solid mass.
They dart away into .he night, find
ing shelter elsewhere and the men kill
the cripples and pick up the dead. The
destruction from this kind Of battery
Is terrific. Sometimes $50 to 200 ducks
are killed by the three guns. II is
cheap meat and sells well in the mar
ket.
Getting IL II little trouble and the
fire platform is favorite device Of
southern pot hunters. They run the
risk OF being taken and thrown into
jail, because fire-hunting wild fowl is
against the law, but there is tremen-
dous stretch of coast and few officers,
so the risk is not great.
This hunting is done only on dark
and moderately still nights. The torch
Is not effective in moonlight and moth
ing can be done II there Is storm, 50
altogether the fire hunter cannot 90
out oftener than five nights in q
month. When roost has been dis
turbed by torch and guns new pne
must be found, as the ducks will not
often return TO the old one.

There will be strong demand for

FIRE HUNTING FOR DUCKS.
One Method by Which Southern Pot
Hunters XIII the Fowl by
Wholesale.

Migration having thinned out the
ducks pretty well along the gulf coast,
the fre-hunters will put up their guns
and wait for another season, but they
had good time at their peculiar sport
while IL lasted and made money. This
way OF killing ducks is simplicity it,
self, but owing to the conditions there
is entirely successful, says the New
York Sun.
From Mobile westward to the Rio
Grande the mainland is fenced from
the sea by low-lying sandy islands
which run parallel with the coast.
There are hundreds Of them from two
to five miles from the mainland and
the water between is shallow, seldom
more than 20 feet in depth.
These waters are Incorrectly called
bays. They are really straits. Ducks
roost on them at night in countless
thousands, being protected from the
ptriis Of the land ponds on the one
hand and from the heavy wash Of the
sea on the other.
The fire hunters firsf locate roost,
which is an easy thing to do, by watch
ing where the focks pitch at sundown.
Ducks If undisturbed will continue TO
roost on the same piece Of water all
through the season.
Having found the roost, the hunters
get their boat, which is a large skifi
having wooden platform built across
IFS bows, platform about yard
square. On this platform they put
clay to the depth Of three inches, max
ing Of II an open fireplace. Then they
take the oars and start little before
