HUNTING BY TELEPHONE.

The rural telephone plays an import
ant part in bird shooting in the prairie
provinces of Canada There is an
abundance of geese, ducks and prairie
chickens in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta, and the shooting is good
clear up to the limits of the cities.
Let flock Of geese be sighted on its
way south from the breeding grounds
on the shores Of Hudson Bay, or up the
Yukon, or on its return north in the
spring, and the telephone is brought
into play to summon sportsmen for
twenty miles around. The birds make
overnight stops wherever they find
water, and the gunners spend most OF
the night in preparation.
They dig holes deep enough to con-
zeal man, and set decoys about thirty
yards away. Experienced hunters viii
wait until the flock is passing, and then
shoot into the flock from behind. II
has been shown that shot is more eff
fective this way than when the attack
is made from the front.
The windier the day the better, fo1
then the geese fly low. Most geese are
shot when flying less than forty yards
from the Washington Post.
