w ITH duck ard quail seasons but
w two days distant, the sporting
world is all agog with prepara-
tions. At the sporting goods houses
shells are stacked ceiling high and
guns have been spoken for in advance.
The gun clubs are being put in condi-
ton, decoys made ready and shells in
quantities shipped to the reservations.
Many a trusty firearm, from the old
fashioned, double-barreled 12-gauge
gun with the strangely curved ham
mers to the brand new Smith, Ithaca or
Parker, with the delicate tapering bar
rels, the beautiful polished stock and
the smooth action, is being taken out "
it's almost forgotten resting place and
lovingly oiled. But the vital question
with all concerned is the game,
At the gun clubs the first days sport
will in all likelihood be inferior to that
enjoyed last year. This may be largely
attributed to the lack of water and the
warmth of the northern weather. A
little rain and a few days of cold, blus-
tering weather in North California and
the clubs will have ducks galore. At
present the birds, many of which have
been breeding on the grounds, consist
largely. of teal, sprigs and mallard.
Friday will see hundreds of sportsmen
on the club grounds, but it is safe bet
that not more than 25 per cent of them
will bring home the limit.
With quail it is a different story
The birds are fairly plentiful within a
short distance of Los Angeles, while in
sections farther removed the limit may
be secured by an hours shooting, Many
of those who go for quail will secure
also a fair bag of doves. For true
sport quail shooting. in the opinion Of
the writer is as far superior to duck
shooting on a preserve.
