PLENTY OF GAME
in the State of West Virginia This
Year Saws Game Warden.

While the advance of civilization
has a tendency to drive the game
| that years ago roamed through this
section to the far West as the I1dians
passed from the East before their
march, West Virginia still remains
the paradise Of the nimrod Not a
single state east Of the Mississippi
has the great variety of game that
this state has and protected by good
game laws it will be the hunters
cream in the years to come.
Writing from his home at Beli1gton,
State Game Warden j. A. Viquesney
states that the outlook for one Of the
best hunting seasons in years this fall
IS more than encouraging. He states
that in the mountain regions of the
central and eastern sections of the
state bear and deer still abb und in
large numbers. AID that big game hun
ters will have an opportunity OF hunt.
ing both. Few deer and bear are TO
lie found outside q the Canadian
wilds now. Wild turkeys are plentiful
this year Mr. yiquesney states, but
very shy and will take an exceptional
~ careful hunter to bag them.
Both quail and pheasant wintered
well last year. the game warden
writes, and during the last summer
bred in great numbers. The best
hunting grounds fer those birds, he
states. are in the mountain regions.
although many are to be found short
distance back Of the Ohio river in
Tyler, Doddrldge and other counties
in that section Each winter since
he has been in office, Mr. Viqncsney
has made an especial plea for the Bob
White, and as a result spcrtsmen
have gone out in Their haunts when
the heavy snow came aad fed them
and their young so that the birds
that were fast becoming extinct are
again increasing.
Farmers ale complaining about the
rabbits and squirrels this year, Mr.
yiquesney says, because they are
destroying their crops. The huntingl
season for the various game is now
rapidly approaching as is the trout
season, and the game warden states
that there are more fish this year
than for the last eight years ~ the
streams of West Virginia.
