qr Wednesday evening oi this week 1 was roaming around a couple o! miles up the Morell river near a spot known as the ‘Rad Ban-k‘. In short I was playing a gens; oi hide and R0 we’! with a p1.‘ oi trout ilshermcn who beat the gun. I don't think that they were aware of mo! Presence. They were on the 09908196 5W9 °l the river when first spotted and the game was eventually called on account of darkness. The fisher- men were not the only poachers en the move.

There's too much of t sort of thing going on. One iton hears this excuse, "Why rev; the birds for the Americans . . . . they get ‘em when they so south". ‘Iltats just so much salve for their con- science . it they have any. ‘The Prairie chicken, pheasants, Rufied grouse and Huns don't go south to the Yankees and yet they set it when the opportunity oi- iers. in season or out, as well es the ‘geese and dutts.

Evidence keeps piling n: that the Prairie chicken released four or five years ago would have made the grade ii they hsnd't been kill- ed off by unscrupulous poachers. I have it from men who hunted those birds in the West that Prair- le chicken can be very stupid on occasions. They'll sit an a stock looking as big u turkeys with their necks stuck up straight and motionless and let a gunner walk up to them and blaze sway. when one gets quite close they'll oiten puff their feathers out and minke themselves look blsssr than they really are. Aster they are tired at the survivors will make ior the nearest poplar blutf. It they alight on trees, one may walk up to them and pick them oif at leisure. Whole covey: are sometimes wiped out in this manner.

O O O

Three years ago 1 received re- ports about a-oovey of 10 Prairie chicken being wiped out, with the exception oi one bird. at Orwell Cove. I was inclined to take this with s. grain oi salt until 1 learn- od snore about the chickenk liab- its, ‘and furthermore I wasn't really certain that there were any Prairie chicken on the rounds. I lcnow dif- ferently now. On Monday evening of this week I had a long chat with Donald John McKenzie, Orwell Oove.

O O O

I was on the prowl as usual and came upon him as he was split- ting wood at the 9d“ of his wood- lot near the bank oi’ Peril-so creek. The evening sun was glint- ing on tbs heavy beech woods that lined the ridge to the south as we sat and talked. I have always found Donald John absolutely re- liable. I asked him about e11. story of a flock of-Preirie chicken be- ing in the Dove. He told me that was correct. A oovey oi 1D .... two oovcys had joined up in his opinion. Questioned as to how he knew that they were chicken. he told me that they were bigger than Rui-fed grouse, lighter col- oured necks and walked straight with sharp pointed tails also stuck up and that their legs were feathered right to the toes.

- O O O

Now that description could have easily been taken iron-L a book but he added something else that proved to mo that his description came irom class and minute aervatlon, not that I doubted him in the first instance. He said this: "may didn't act like Hun: and would hide when they sew you coming, they'd stand and look at you and when one got quite near they'd rufiie up their ielthcrs."

O O I

His story of the incident of the shooting is as follows: ‘The birds were around all surnmer and early tall. They ied mostly in Jimmie Jentclns’ grain field on the Irving Road. Three years ago on. Septem- ber 90th., the day before th, Hull season opened. two men in a car drove down the road and stopped when they saw the birds in the field. They tired into them on the ground and then followed them into the woods and began shooting them off tho trees. Thoy were quite some distance away. Alter awhile I started dorm to get the lumber of the car. One of them saw me coming and they both got in the car and drove away. I only saw one Prairie chicken afterward. it stayed all winter but leit some. time in March."

O O O Last year I received a report that a covey oi seven birds, be- lleved to be Prairie Chicken, were wiped out by gunners in the Lorne Valley district in Kings County. This was alleged to have happen-

mske it two years ago. Whether or not them are any Prairie chick- cn left in the province I have no way of knowing at present. A bird has to be able to look out for it- self in this country. Til-sis the reason we have so ma!!! Hunl.

I I O

Any persons who would deliber- ately wipe out a covey of birds struggling to obtain a ioothold in the province an milling but vandals. They didn't even have the excuse that they didn't know what they were for it was close season on 1-lurls and all upland game. Any hunter convicted of In offence oi this nature should have his hunting license cancelled ior at least five years. Th. Orwell Oove incident may well have made the dlflerencs between success and failure regarding the importation oi Prairie Chicken to this PW!- lnce. . . _

The institution oi National wildlife Week and talks on the radio are well and good. Both serve a useful and educational purpose, but what we do need is more drastic penalties ill-posed on persons convicted oi aslne viola- lions, penalties that would include cancellation of their hunting lio- enoe if the nature of the oiilence warranted same. The lllllllll "l" eriowl census conducted in Osn- ‘ada and the ltetts lest winter showed that Canada geese made a substantial increase. This has been attributed by some obstvsrs to

United States lnsltutrd stricter conservation measures in respect to Osneda geese wlntenm in the
