this IS process which cannot be
hurried. Many deer have been
forced down into the loWlands,
spreading them out over greater
stretches of country and making it
more difficult for the hunters.
1t is beginning to appear that
the vast f1ocks of ducks and geese
spread over the country this winter
may present a real problem in wild
life management to the officials Of
the Federal Fish and Wildlife
Service. The unprecedented con-
centration of water fowl at Lake
Mattamuskeet, N. c., has attracted
national attention. Life Magazine
and Parade have sent representa-
tives for stories and Grantland Rice
sports film cameramen have been
taking pictures. The shooting there
generally has been good this season,
but as the food crop on the preserve
nears its end the geese will start
moving and gunners should have
some superlative sport. There are
so many geese IN the area that
farmers are commencing to Won-
der what is going to happen to their
winter wheat crops when the geese
start feeding outside the preserve
area. The situation well may De-
come serious. A similar situation
exists to a lesser extent on the up
per Eastern Shore, where there is
another big concentration of geese.
Reports from duck hunters on the
Potomac almost are universally pes
simistic. Thousands of canvas
backs, broadbills and other ducks
are in evidence, but the kill to date
apparently is we'll below that of the
same period last year. However We
are approaching the best part of
the season, and given a few weather
breaks the sport soon should reach
its height. The trick is to be on the
spot when the hocks really start
moving.
