H nters Hail
Geese Specie
In This Area
BY DAVE PETERSON

The 1947 hunting season offici-
ally opened on September l,
with the restrictions of game
laws lifted from the marsh hen,
and shotgun enthusiasts of New
Hanover county are making early
preparations for this seasons
hunt.
George Canady, agent for hunt
ing licenses, said that many hunt
ers had purchased their licenses
early, and it is assumed that they
are taking advantage OF every
day of this season.
The prospects of the hunter
are not too good this year, with
the talk of further restrictions to
be placed upon migratory birds,
which will lessen the sports mems
chances to successfully hunt duck
and geese. The final word on this
legislation has not been made Of
fetal. at this time.
Many hunters of this country
who have hunted ducks eXten-
sively, reveal that the number OF
geese, attracted to this vicinity,
have increased during the last
couple of years. This willy BIRD
has only recently begun to fire.
ouent this area in noticeable
numbers, and hunters of water
fowl have high hopes of includ-
ing them in this seasons bag.
The bird hunters of this coun-
ty were not greeted by many
coveys of quail in the fields last
season, and the situation has not
bettered, according to observa-
tons of bird movements during
the summer. Many of those who
count bird hunting as their favor
tie sport, are ia favor of a closed
season on this bird, in order to,
give them an opportunity to in
crease their number.
The "big game" hunters will
welcome the opening of deer and
bear season, and considering the
high interest placed on the hunt
ing of bear last year, it is expect
ed to attract more hunters dur
ing this season.
The elusive deer will continue
to hold its own, despite added
competition, as a large group Of
sportsmen consider this game
tops for the hunter.
The New Hanover county Wild
life club, having extended their
efforts toward lettering the
hunting for this county, since the
club was founded, will be recog-
nized as a champion of sporting
hunters and rigid observance of
the game laws, with emphasis
placed upon the conservation of
the decreasing game in this vi
cinity.
