GOOD HUNTING |
IN MONMOUTH
Places Where Game Can be
Found Easily Reached.

Did you ever go hunting III Mon
mouth county, II liz one of the best
sections OF the state for rabbits or
birds and on November / pack your
kit and take q "Pennsy" or Cen
trail" for Matawan.
Matawan Is easily reached and
good rabbit hunting can be had
within easy distance. Take the car
at the depot to the west. not In the
direction of Keyport, and ride ten
minute out and any place you hunt
you can kick out rabbits. If you
care to o can hire a carriage and
drive to Norristown about two miles,
and have some fine hunting there,
as many quail are to be found In
that section. to say nothing OF the
rabbits and squirrels.
Mt. Pleasant Is the first station
south of Matawan, and any direction
the hunter may take will bring him
to good hunting country.
Morganville Is the second station
from Matawan, and here We can find
a few cartridges some English
pheasants, Hungarian partridge.
quail and rabbits. A seeond-rate
dog was worried to distraction down
there last week, az the game kept
him jumping in all directions. After
the station to the left a quarter of a
mile. where you will meet a good
road running north and south. Fol-
low this road to the right Or south
q half mile and then take to the
woods to the left, where you will
find Beacon Hill, a mound about 400
feet high, thickiy covered with a
heavy timber growth. Hunt over,
around and on all sides of that hill.
II you want to hunt two days. on the
second day ask directions to Roberts
willie, a village three miles south
east of Morgansville. Hunting Is
good all along this splendid road for
rabbits and quail.
At Freehold.
Going north from Freehold on the
Pennsylvania there is a station call
cd Tennent. The only road at the
station leads north to Morganvilie,
seven miles on a straight line, lined
on both sides with cover, where
game abounds, and 1t Is such an out
of the way place that IL no one fol-
lows this pit it Is safe to say that
not a trigger will be pulled there. as
few are aware of the fine hunting.
Engltshtown has long been known
as the centre of a good hunting
country. Three miles northwest of
Englishtown Id Mounts Mills. 1t Ia
hard to give the directions, but any
one will tell you how to get there.
To the right of Mounts Mills, to the
left or north, anywhere the dog
heads will show rabbits ane SPUR
rels and an odd polecat or two.
Africa is but four miles from En-
glishtown and q trip there will SUR
prise any strange gunner, who will
find plenty of game to keep him
moving.
HazIet is the first station out Of
Matawan, on the Long Island
Branch Railroad. 1t is a short trip,
but not long ago the writer saw
many quail flushed on the road to
Corner. two miles south
OF Hazlet. Rabbits are considered
pests down there, so gnnners are
than welcomed.
Middletown, on the same road, is
in the heart of a truck farm district.
and Just now the farmers will give
you the glad hand Oak Hill, Nor
New Monmouth and Craw-
ford's Corner are the places to ask
directions to at the Middletown de-
pot. The roads are crooked and
hard to describe, but you can get
lost there, and hunting is good from
the minute you leave this station.
There r many rabbits to &c
found around ClfHwood, which Is
about a mile south of Morgan's, but
the men employed In that vicinity
will be out In full force. But this
don't mean that q good hound won't
be kept busy on rabbits.
The above tips are all In a handy
section, but one thing must be re-
membered, and that Is the brush is
heavy and better results can be OBJ
tanned by taking dogs along than by
hunting without them.
