Hunting on Lower Colorado.

To the hunter of game. both large
and small, the Colorado will appear
most notable as being the gateway to
what is undoubtedly the best easily
reached shooting ground in North
America, the delta country about the
head of the Gulf of California in Mex
leo. Here. besides wealth of bird
life that is equaled by few regions in
the world, are to be found wild pig or
javelin. deer. mountain lion. jaguar.
wildcat. coyote. antelope and noun
tain sheep. The delta country. with
its hunting. is generally the objective
of the Colorado voyageur in any case.
and for one whose time Is limited the
most expeditions plan will be to outfit
at Yuma and float down the river to
the end of the gulf from that point.
With plenty of time at ones disposal,
1t will be worth while to make the
Needles the point Of embarkation. as
the stretch between there and Yuma
offers rare combination of fine
scenery with safe going that is equaled
by few streams In America.-Outing.
