Good Bags Of Quail Have Been Re-
ported Since Rain Ceased, Thus
Regulating Theory That
Birds Haven't Bred

Prospects for a good days shooting
is expected to cause hundreds of Los
Angeles sportsmeh to turn their steps
today to the surrounding hills and va
rious gun clubs in an attempt to pro-
cure the limit of either ducks or quail.
The latest addition to the ranks of
the hunters is w. H. Holiday. presi-
dent of the Merchants National bank,
who procured his hunting license yes-
terday and will try his first shot on
the Dominguez Gun club grounds.
President Holiday was never interest
ed in shooting before the present sea-
son and this marks a new era that
should be an example to many of the
brain workers of Los Angeles to fol-
low as a means of rest and recreation
from the monotonous duties of the Of
nee.
The recent poor shooting that has
I. prevailed in Southern California has
been caused by the heavy fogs that
have hung over the gun clubs and do
not lift until 10 or IL O'CLOCK, Wheh
the shooting is over.
Good bags of quail have been report
ed since the weather has cleared. thus
contradicting the bad impression that
was made during the first week OF
shooting which was spread by great
many shooters to the effect that the
birds have not bred this year. AS
every old hunter knows. it is impos-
sible to find quail on cold, rainy days,
as the birds do not rise and only parts
of flocks are available.
