There is considerable complaint
regarding hunting dogs running over
the prairies and destroying chicken
and duck nests. Not all hunters are
so careless as to let their dogs run at
large at this time of the year, but a
great many are. We could never un-
derstand the anxiety of some to pro-
tect game from the early hunter when
some of the most rabid game protec-
tionists insisted upon allowing the
dogs to destroy the eggs and young
birds. A law should be enacted
against hunting dogs running at
large, and between this time and the
enactment of such law all true sports
men should be a law unto themselves
and see to it that the career of such
dogs is short.
