OPEN SEASON FOR DUCKS.
Why Date of the Beginning Should
 Not Be Changed.

To the Editor of The Hartford Times: There seems to be a disposition on the part of a few hunters in this state to secure an extension of the present open season for the shooting of shore
 birds and wild fowl beyond January printed in your valuable paper, such a bill came up for action before the
 house of representatives at our sta te capitol Tuesday and was reeommit- ted for further consideration.
 The present law (passed in 19O7)
 protects all shore birds and wild fowl
 uniformly from January to Septen-
 Der l. It reduces the shooting sea-
 son within fairly reasonable limits.
 It has checked the depletion of wild
 ducks, and there is plenty of testi-
 mony that it has increased their num-
 bers The proposed change does not
 Iengthen the season, but alters the
 dates, thus extending the season into
 January, at 8 time when ice often
 forms on the feeding grounds of the
 wild ducks and when they are threat
 ened with freezing and starvation. No
 one should be allowed then to take
 advantage of their necessities to shoot
 them. Nothing can be more destruc-
 tive to the birds than such a privilege
 To shoot black ducks and other fowl when driven to the only open spring
 holes for drinking water in winter is
 d
 erated in any civilized community.
 The killing of wild fowl during Jan uary and February should be prohib- tied absolutely on any coast where the fresh waters become icebound during these months. Ordinarily, in New
 England, most of the fresh water ponds freeze in December, and the pond and river ducks are then driven to the salt water. Because of the inferior nature of the food that they
 find there, their flesh soon loses its l fine flavor and they become more or less ttsedgy'' or tfshy'' to the taste. In hard winters, when the flats are coV-
 cred with ice, these ducks ane half starved. They soon become very thin and have little food value. In such winters ducks of several species
 have been picked up dead from star
 vation and cold. They have enough to contend with at that season of the year, and no hunter should be allow ed to disturb them or take advantage of their necessities.
 When the ponds are covered with ice those fresh-water ducks which re-
 main in the north are compelled to go to the open springs, as they require fresh water to drink. Care for their 1 safety compeIs them to remain at sea, or in some open bay during the day, but at night necessity drives them to the springs. Here the gunner lies concealed to kill them. This is not sport. It is a practice which should not be permitted for a moment by
 the laws or the people of our good
 state of Connecticut.
 Let all true citizens, then, see to it that all men lay aside the gun on the first day of January and give the
 birds chance. This can be done by defeating any proposed extension of
 our present legal open season for
 shooting.
