HUNTING SEASON NEARING END
The Legal Time Has Still Some Days
to Run.

The last day of November, practi-
cally closed the hunting season in
Iowa on ducks, prairie chickens and
quail and also the fishing year,
though the legal time does not ex-
pire for quail until the 18th. The
federal migratory law stops the shoot
ing of ducks On Dec. IS, and it is
probable that the legislature this
winter will reconstruct the law to
comply with the federal law.
Outside of prairie chicken it can
safely be said that this falls sport
for the Iowa nimrod has been the
Poorest in the states history. Nu-
merous causes have worked to this
end. The weather has been the
greatest trouble. 1t has been so in
the case of quail, dating back to Jan
uary and February of 1912. Before
the unprecedented cold and unusual
snow fall of that winter the quail
had become very numerous in north
ern and other favored sections of
Iowa. Severe winters have always
been their deadliest enemy and the
one of three years ago nearly exter.
minated them through freezing and
starving.
AS for ducks The mild fall weather
kept them in the north country. The
usual cold snap in October did not
come so the birds drifted lazily 20
the south or else came with a rush
and were gone in a day in the final
freeze up this month. One old timer,
resident of one of Iowa's choicest
ducking grounds for about twenty
four years, said it was the poorest
fall in his memory.
Lack of large watering places and
the draining Of the prairie sloughs
has also helped TO speed the birds
over the state without stopping.
But there IS one target left in
Iowa for the gunner which seems to
hold it's own ant that is the cotton
tail. There is also new method Of
getting him-hunting him at night
with y the aid of an automobile.
These trying it say thai it is great
sport and no easy task either to get
him as he crosses the road in front Of
the cars searohlights.
The timber squirrel which has be-
come a nuisance in some localities,
the open season for which closes Jan.
l, is also on the list, though many
dislike the creatures.
The fishing season which also ends
tomorrow has seen some fine catches
of pike and bass and as the state
game and fish department continue
their campaign of restocking the
lakes and rivers there is a liklihoCd
of much more attention being paid
to this form of out of doors sport in
the future.
