Rabbits Scarce
According to authorities there
will be few rabbits in lower Della |
ware this year for sportsmen to
hunt The rabbit law will open on
November Is, which is a big day for |
gunners in lower Delaware, but this |
year while the usual number will |
probably be in the field the prospect |
for big bags is slim. When there is |
plenty of game at this season rab-
bits can be seen along the highways |
and in the fields feeding. After +
running all summer without being /
molested they will forage in the /
open in the early fall days but this
year very few have been seen either
in the fields or along the roads.
