 It is the gun for brush shooting or snap shooting, but there it's merits end. For duck or geese there is nothing like the barrel of thirty-two inches, unless it be the barrel of thirty-four inches.
 There are several kinds of duck shoot CTS, but those most distinctly contrasted are the men who take no chances and kill all their birds within fifty yards and the men who take chances anything that comes along. These are the men who most frequently demonstrate the beauties of the long, heavy gun in start ling fashion. Some of the shots they make are strange.
 A mailard going down wind at the rate of ninety miles an hour passes overhead apparently a hundred yards high The careful man will not shoot at him at all but the man with the long gun, who is out to shoot and believes in pulling trig- ger whenever there is ghost of a chance lets drive and the mallard, whirl- ing over and over twenty times. strikes ground water or floating ice with a thump.
 Of course. five shots of this kind are missed where one Is hit. but one shot of the kind is worth dozen of the usual tame sort when the birds are murdered at thirty yards as they hover over de- coys The man with the long gun and the reckless disposition has the satisfac- tion of shooting nearly all the time-as

he would express it. he sets the woods on fire-and he has the satisfaction, too, of making many notable kills.
 Out along the Illinois river and other western rivers on which spring shooting is permitted the birds have been shot at so much that they have grown wary A spring duck Is harder to kill than a fall 1 duck because 1t has the whole winter of experience behind if. Consequently the hunters are confronted with conditions which demand their best knowledge of speed and distance.
 The birds fly higher In spring than in 1 fall; they run a gauntlet from the gulf to their breeding grounds, and the man who has the long gun and shoots 1t often will make the largest bags. The fellow who leaves camp with a hundred shells and comes back for more at noontime will get more birds and have more fun and particularly will make more memora- ble shots than the careful individual who goes with thirty shells. expends eighteen of them and shows six mallards for his | economy.
