The rabbit and quail hunting sea-
son opens today, Friday, November
is. 1t is reported that both rabbits
and quail are unusually plentiful in
the Broadkiln and Prime Hook dis
tricts, owing to favorable weather
conditions during the breeding sea-
son. A larger area of hunting lands
will be closed to hunters this year
by land owners posting their lands
against trespassing. They deem this
necessary for their own protection,
as many pot hunters shoot chickens,
turkeys, guineas, and ducks when
found near the woods. Many of these
land owners will allow responsible
persons to hunt on their lands if
asked and are known to them, but
the public will be strictly barred in
this district unless permission is
given by the land owners.
