One week from today the hunting
and trapping season will have ended.
We again wish to warn all sports
men to have their 1884 license be-
fore going into the field as the
game wardens are checking closely
and the law requires the hunter or
trapper and fisherman to have the
new licenses now.
From Warden Pritchett at Prince
ton comes the report that the Wa
bash river is cloudy and the fish
ing poor. In White river the con-
dition is better, the report stating
that the river is falling, clear and
the fishing good. The Patoka is at
normal stage, but not many fish
ermen are out.
From Logansport, Warden In
hoff reports that the streams in
Cass and Miami counties are low
and fairly clear There is quite a
bit of ice; no snow in the fields and
forests, and very few hunters are
put.
From Washington, Warden Ben
nett reports that heavy rains and
snow have raised the creeks during
the last week. The temperature
has been lowering around the zero
mark for couple of days. but the
late weather turned exceptionally
warm. The snow and ice now is
gone. Several rabbit hunters were
out New Years day, but they were
not having much luck.
Trappers and night hunters are
having some profitable sport and
he fur buyers are getting quite a
number Of prime pelts.
Believe it or not, few fishermen
till are enjoying their sport. One
anglers wife in Washington caught
six-pound bass last week in Tom
Hills old fishing spot. I under
stand her husband landed the fish.
It looks as if the Ice hshermen's
port this year will remain with the
anglers who live in the lake region,
