GREAT OUTDOORS
BY MORRIS

The hunting season breaks soon
1t looks like the best in years!
With the coming of September mi
gratory waterfowl enter the open
list and other game follows in sue
cession.
Recent mild winters, game
tuaries and refugees, restocking, bet
ter game laws and more faithful OBJ
of those laws will make
1922 the greatest of hunting years.
Migratory waterfowl, due to the
Canadian enabling act. are sure to
be more plentiful this fall than in
years, possibly in rs years. This
should bring joy to the hearts of the
duck hunters.
OF big game the Virginia deer, the
Whitehall, is on the .'apid increase.
In Canada moose hunting will be
as good as it has been in the last
10 years. Grouse are plentiful and
hunting conditions look most favor
able.
No More Game? Pooh!
I've been knocking around quite a
bit on this hunting stuff and l re-
fuse to join those calamity howlers
who tell you that hunting is on the
we'll known wane and that the only

other term OF years will be in a nat
ural history museum" There are too
many hunters in America who are
sportsmen to permit this great coun-
try of ours to become gameless.
Last year there were upward of
200. 900 lear killed in the United
States. In Canada the number
probably was greater. Does that
look as if the deer crop were going
out of business? 1t docs not. Deer
are on the increase in many places.
to such an extent that the situation
is growing more or less alarming.
Especially Is this true in New
Brunswick and New England.
Plenty of Shooting
Last year there were 10000 bear
killed in the United States and
probably double that number in
Canada.
In the United States $500 elk we're
killed. Does that indicate that big
game hunting is getting on the
blink?
Big game conditions are getting
better and outside of the elk and
antelope problems the situation is
all to the tobasco.
Some states that were Cleaned
out" of game several years ago,
states where deer were a curiosity,
now have loads of game and condi-
tons are getting betta-.
New York and Pennsylvania have
come rapidly to the front in this re-
spect. In Michigan and Wisconsin.
the hunters bagged 10000 dear last
fall. California and Wyoming con-
tributed about $4,000 each and New
York state another 10, 900. Addition
al thousands were bagged in Maine,
Minnesota. Montana, Vermont, Colo
RADIO, South Dakota, Oregon, New
Jersey, Massachusetts and New
Hampshire.
Deer and Bear
Florida, Mississippi and other
southern states contributed quite a
number of deer and black bear. Over
| 500 black bear were killed in Penn
~sylvania and more than a thousand
in Oregon. In Montana $500 elk
were killed. Louisiana and Tennes-
see gave to the sportsmen quite a
number of deer and bear Virginia.
| the mother of the whitehall deer,
! offers excellent deer hunting, like
wise a fair share of black bear, es-
pecially in the Dismal Swamp region
Game commissioners in every
! state predict that this will be the
best hunting year ever.
Now is the time to plan your trip,

sights and fit your ammunition.
