l should like this week to try
to correct a few erroneous impress
sions which some people have
about dove shooting
From time TO time a friend or
acquaintance who IS not a deVo
tee of this form Of sport will ask
me if there aren't a lot Of birds
CquaiD killed under the guise
Of dove shooting
I can only speak for the circle
of sportsmen with whom I am
privileged to hunt and I can
say very emphatically that not
one of them would consider doing
such a thing Most all Of the
hunters and fishermen OF my ac-
qua.ntance are good sportsmen
They like good hunting and fish
ing and they know that only by
conserving our natural resources
will they and their sons be assured
of sufficient supply Of game
birds and animals and fish year
after year
There doubtless arc a few fell
lows in every community who
would take advantage Of this early
season privilege Of taking a gun
into the fields, but it is my belief
that these few outlaws would do
the same thing even if there was
no early season.
Now the same thing is not ne
cessarily true should there be an
early squirrel season. since that
type Of hunting is done in the BIG
woods and often by a lone hunter
Good dove shooting is found only
in relatively open fields and pas
lures and is usually engaged in
by a group Of hunters ranging
from six or eight to as many as
IS or 20 There is no place for
the pot-hunter out in the open
and with such a crowd OF shoot
ers as that.
Then, there's the old feeling
which however. is dying out. that
doves shouldn't be shot. To those
Of you who have any especially
tender feelings about this bird.
can only say that he is as greedy
robber as the crow, and at this
season Of the year. his tribe is far
more numerous. 1t doesn't take
too much figuring to estimate the
quantity of grass seed or other
grain that a flock Of several hun
dred doves will pick up in few
days.
I believe that the average farm
er viii welcome your shooting
around his pastures and corn
fields If you will just be con-
siderate enough to ask his permis-
sion and be sportsman enough to
respect his property He might
even appreciate the offer of few
doves if you have any luck
