to the far north. as do many members
of its family, makes the season for its
shooting SO much the longer. For many
ducks man has to wait until the migra-
ton is at its height in November. He
finds the wood duck along the streams
while he is hunting grouse in Sep
tember.
Duck shooting is allowed in the
spring in nearly every sta.e in the
union The birds at that season are
hurrying to the nesting grounds. They
are in poor condition for the table
and the only excuse for their shooting
is the seemingly Unsuitable lust of man

for more wisdom in game legislation

sportsman and the pot hunter, but
the bird has characteristics which VIII
enable it to keep up its fight for life
longer than can the woodcock. 1t has
bolt-like flight. and 1t dwells ordi-
narfly in the thickest cover. Its
broods are large. from 13 to Is nest
