Richard HightoWer comes to the
defense Of the fox claiming that the
hunters and farmers who assert the
fox is a menace to the raising Of
quail, pheasant and rabbit, does not
know what he is talking about. Mr..
HightoWer has lived in the southern
part Of the state for some years and
there were a few fox in that
territory They were so scarce how
ever, that it would be impossible for
them to commit all the deprada-
tons credited to them by their
enemies He further states that the
state will not average a pair of fox
to a county and as a sportsman,
tells that the thing we all must fight,
is the human game and fish hog.
Another letter from H G. Payne,
1923 Spruce street, says:
Just a few lines about foxes and
fox hunters. I am fox hunter and
hunt for the sport of getting out
into the country and hearing my
dogs. The quail hunter, who has a
good dog, gets as much pleasure out
of watching his dog work, as he does
shooting the birds. That is exactly
the situation with the fox hunter.
Of course, I realize that the fox will
destroy some game but the dog and
house cat destroy more game in one
season than the fox will in five.
Just to prove that the fox does
not destroy the quail and rabbit
hunting, will tell of a den of foxes
that had a litter of five pups, a
total of seven foxes. They lived in
the same den the entire season and
if any of you sportsmen are skepti-
cal, I will show you the den and
then show you four covey of quail
and plenty of rabbits in the fields
nearby. Just come to my house any
afternoon, if you wish to be shown.
