Advise 10 Hunters

The hunting season has brought
into the public prints rather for
midable list Of rules to insure safe
and proper sport with the gun com
piled some time ago by the State
geoIogist of Pennsylvania. Following
are some Of them:
Always keep the gun pointed
from yourself and other persons.
Garry the gun with the muzzle
pointed downward to the earth Or
upward teEggtsasFFaa TIE sky. Never the
sweep the horizon with it.
In getting over logs and fences
or through hedges, put the gun
over first and see that it will not
fall. Then go to another place and
cross, and pick up the gun with the
end pointing where it should.
Never draw a gun toward your
self by the muzzle, especially in
boats. wagons or over fences or logs,
etc.
Do not load the gun until al
the hunting grounds and draw the

Never keep loaded gun in
house or tent or where it may be
knocked down by children or dogs.
Do not carry gun cooked ex-
cept on the alert for game to rise.

or toward a noise. 1t may be stock
or persons. Wait for the game tc
appear.
Do not start a fire without pro-
yiding against it spreading and put

Do not wound game and leave il
to die a lingering death. Spend al
hour or more if necessary to fine

Do not shoot protected game.
Hunt with the back to the sun
slowly and quitely. Do not hum
