The San Francisco call., 1909-10-24

While San Francisco was well repre-
sented on the marsh areas and in the
uplands last Sunday. there were not
many city dwelling hunters out in
quest of ducks or quail on the subse-
quent days of the week. the Portola
carnival proving more attractive than
the prospect of taking pot luck in a
duck blind or tramping the hills and
valleys in an attempt to secure limit
bag of quail. Many of the most enthu-
siastic members of the old guard. who
rarely miss an opportunity for mid
week shoot remained in town TO greet
Don Gaspar and to acclaim Queen Yer
gilia, and as a result the ranks of the
regulars were considerably depleted
Nearly all who were out on powder
burning expeditions, however, were
well rewarded. and the number of limit
bags of ducks, quail, rail and Snipe
brought TO the city proved that condi-
tions were all in favor of hunters.
As was expected. there was a much
larger turnout of hunters on the first
day of last week than on the previous
Sunday, as there was no broiling sun
to deter shooters from trying their
skill. Duck hunters found the Suisun
marsh good for sport. and, as was the
case last week. better shooting was
had there than on other hunting
grounds. The Prior brothers, Tony and
Lester, continued to set limit bags
without much trouble at the Clover
leaf preserve near Cordelia, and other
members of the club experienced but
little difficulty in bagging the % birds
the law allows. Members of the Vo-
lante, Joyce Island, Ibis, Marsh and
Green Lodge clubs all had good shoot
ing, and visitors to the Cook and Black
Jack ponds returned with good sized
bags. Sprig still predominant on the
Suisun marsh. as they do on nearly all
of the shooting rounds. but there is a
good sprinkling of mallard, teal and
widgeon. At Collinsville, near the con-
huence of the rivers. and on Joyce ISL
and. canvasbacks have already put in
appearance, and some have been seen
on the SOnOma- shore of San Pablo haX.
