HUNTING AND FISHING

Although the deer and dove season
is not yet two weeks old, more deer and
dove have been shot than in all last
season between July 10 and october 10.
Old hunters who have never missed
season in Southern California report
that more deer have been seen this
year than in any previous year. The
northern country, about San Francisco,
is not as good for deer hunters this year
as it was last season, and little interest
is being taken by the San Francisco
nimrods. Because of the large quantity
of water which covered the loWlands
about the suburbs of Los Angeles last
year, the dove hunting was poor, but
local hunters have more than made up
for last seasons discrepancy in the dove
line.
P. E. Peterson of Hoegees sporting
goods house, left Saturday for weeks
vacation. He passed yesterday at Wine
vile, and in two hours had bagged the
limit of doves.
E. Leroy Hunt and Harry Miller yes
terday returned from the Big Tejunga
canyon, bringing with them two bucks.
They wre out two weeks and thoroughly
enjoyed the petty hardships that gave
them such great appetites. The first
three days of the trip were passed at
signs of deer, so pushed on to Big Te-
junga and were well rewarded for the
move.
Thomas Manuel returned to the city
yesterday with seventeen doves, which
he had shot in the Little Tejunga can
yon. He said he sighted many deer
during the day.
Rugby Ross is a hunter of the Wild
West type, and when he goes after big
game he manages to get it. The other
day he went dove hunting. After about
an hours hunting during which time
he shot every cartridge he had, he saw
a dove 1t was the first one he had
seen during the day. Forgetting that
he had no ammunition, he raised his gun
and pulled the trigger. OF course moth
ing happened. All undaunted, he crept
nearer the bird and swung his gun
around his head three times and threw
it at the dove. 1t hit the dove-in the
neck.
B. Barber of Hoegee's sporting goods
house was telling a crowd of interested
ones of a recent fishing trip he had off
Catalina. He ended with the following
statement: I'VE had a great time and
the boat did not even sink" He at
tempted to apologize for the statement
by saying he had just swallowed a
match. But his listeners politely ex-
cused themselves and did not approach
him again that day.
L. H. johnson and F. H. Reynolds
will leave the city today for a deer hunt
| around the Malibu range. They will be
gone a week.
C. Hill, manager of the advertising
department at Hoegee's sporting goods
| house, returned from a two week S
vacation Sunday. He passed most OF
| his vacation fishing at Oceanside, and
| enjoyed himself to the limit. He caught
| six good sized scoVina, several suck
ers, yellowfin and a few small shark.
The last four days he passed at the
Sscondido reservoir, where he fished for
bass and all he caught weighed. from
two to three pounds each.
Several good catches of fish were re-
ported from Balboa yesterday by f. w.
Beckwith, among them being two oil
sharks, which were caught off the. pier
by Jack Bergiran. Each of them
B. Rennard caught seven-pound hall
but.

brought with them one of the largest
