An Act to Shorten Cunning Season
Meets With Disapproval of the
Wilmington sportsmen.

Sportsmen are almost unanimously
against the shortening OF the game sea-
son as advocated by a bill introduced
In the Legislature by Representative
Parudee. In speaking OF the proposed
change, Joseph p. Cross, leading
sportsman of the city. said that the
present legal season for shooting quail
and rabbits, from November 10 to De-
cember 81. inclusive. Is short enough
He claims that during the fifteen days
In November the weather is entirely
too warm for quail shooting, and that
December, owing TO the severe frosts,
the birds take to the woods and spoil
the morning shooting almost daily.
Then again there is snow on the
ground when, of course, il is unlawful
to shoot quail, usually the ground is
frozen, making it very rough on the
dogs feet, and frequently the dogs have
been rendered entirely useless for the
remainder OF the season. from that
cause.
