There are more wild geese and
wild ducks on the waters CT Mary
land at present than there have been
for a number of years at this early
season and we sincerely hope that
the sportsmen will have a profitable
season throughout the entire wild
fowl area.
Upland game is reported plentiful,
especially bob-white throughout the
State. Cotton-tail rabbits in GER
tain sections are plentiful; other
sections they are not. Wild turkey
in the range of their habitat are re-
ported more plentiful than they have
been for a number of years past.
Outside of the tidal sections where
the storm of August was very detri-
mental to upland game, we believe
that our covers are well supplied for
the coming hunting season.
