READY TO OPEN
HUNTING SEASON
Eastern NimrodS Invade Local
Fields for Dove and Deer.
Game Is Plentiful

Tomorrow will be the eventfu day.
Fans of the diamond, the ring and the
paddock will bring down from the attic
their pet rifles and shotguns for day
or two in commune with mother nature
i'm strenuous endeavor to bring home
a brace of the white wings or the
much priced bucksldn. Deer and doves
will be the program for the lovers of
the Nimrod game, and the other di-
versions of the Southern California
fans will suffer in consequence. There
may not De a deer for every hunter,
but there will be at least a cloven
track for an inspiration, and If neither
deer nor doves come into sight the dis
appointed one may console himself
with a full creel of the inhabitant of
the cooler element.
The hunting fever has seized
the local camps, and this week
end will see parties of local
Nimrods with bulky paraphernalia pre-
pairing to start upon their annual chase
along the cloven track that marks the
trail of the buck. The surf fishermen
have forsaken their haunts and packed
their flies for the capture of the tinny
tribe, while the traier's game is at
tracing hunters from the eastern ana
northern points, where the buck season
is dwindling and the game Is becom-
ing rare object for the bead of a
32-40.
As the season in Los Angeles county
will open tomorrow, the wilds of the
suburbs of this vicinity will offer the
first search for the game, and as
August approaches Riverside and San
Bernardno counties will be included
in the list. There has been great
deal of discussion relative to the open
ing of the deer season in Southern CAL
ifornia hunting grounds, and the
variance in the published records has
left the majority of hunters in con-
fused state of mind.
Something that will make camp life
a little more attractive and enlarge the
number of those who desire to follow
the trail is the probability of spending
the spare time with the trout pools and
landing a full creel of the finny beau
ties, even if the bucks are too scarce
to bring home the spoils in that line.
At Scotts camp a number of the
much desired animals have been dis
covered and there the fish abound in
quantities galore. Several parties are
scheduled to make this place their
headquarters during the season, and
they all feel sure OF bringing home
that for which they will start
Camp life without cook and a
weighty pack train is not the joy that
the imaginative writer's or camp Ire
are wont to depict, and many of the
knowing ones will locate at one of the
MANY mountain resorts where they
may make their headquarters while on
the trail of the deer.
Official announcement as to the open
ing of the season has been made and
there is scarcely a gun man who mas
not been preparing for the day with
anticipation and particular care. Ac-
cording to the state law the deer sea-
son opens July 10 and closes November
