Milford chronicle., 1931-11-20
MILTON


shooting season opened on Monday
and many sportsmen, both local and
from out of town, were in the woods
fields and marshes with gun and
dogs. A heavy fog prevented an
early start but after the sun was up
short time dogs were released and
the sport was on. The extreme dry
ness of woods and fields made trail
ing by the dogs uncertain and no
large bags of quail and rabbits were
reported, while the mild weather
kept the ducks in the bay and those
who went to the marshes had but
little shooting. All sorts Of game is
reported plentiful and if a heavy
rain falls soon gunners will bring in
larger bags in this section. The free
cunning grounds are greatly re-
stricted in Broadkiln Hundred this
year because many land owners and
tenants cannot see the wisdom of
allowing out-of-town gunners COM
ing here and in a day or two clean
ing out the game before the farmer
can get his corn crop harvested and
have time to hunt the woods and
fields. Consequently no trespass no.
tices have been put UP and the far
merS mean business. Another fea-
ture that is restricting rabbit and
quail cunning is the fact that a few
INSCRIPTIONS gunners have been in
the habit of shooting the farmers
poultry that stray too far from the
house. Many farmers will allow
cunning on their premises If asked
and they know you, but if permis-
sion has not been given prosecu-
tion is threatened.
