number, and they were found to be Hungarians. The accuracy of the story was vouched for, and although somewhat in the nature of a mir- scle, it shows how close these birds bunch when they get up. Protection was lifted just as soon as it was |known that they were fairly well settled in the central part of the province, and since that time I have pursued them when occasion served, and have to acknowledge that the birds can outwit me nearly every time. Of course, I may be a. raifen hunter, and it has to be understood that I am not speaking for every- body. One early trick they played me was this: There was a piece of bush and poplar that looked hope- ful, but on commencing to walk through no evidence could be seen or heard of any birds. Once or twice I fancied detecting a faint rustle, but the noise was so indis- tinct thnt it did not impress. Fin- ally, I was just nearing the opposite side, and beginning to nurse the idea that it tun not hold a feather, when there was a whirr and a roar,

dited with making the most dis- concerting break-away, when he suddenly roars out from the willow roots, but the Hungarian equals the grouse at this game, and in addition the whole covey, of anything from l6 to 24 birds, get up together. The general effect is like a bomb ex- pioding. According to evidence to hand, it doesn't take much to drop them, one pellet will do the trick, and experts assert that the correct method is to refrain from shooting when the girds first rise, and then to try long-distance shot, as hy that time the birds will have spread, and the shot will also have spread. It sounds feasible, but in the first place the explosive get-away gener- ally has the effect of compelling the hunter to hastily Dull trigger, with the result that he under or over- shoots the swiftly-moving bunch. Personally. hflvlng tried both ways, the results are more or less the gems, the birds win. Perhaps I may be too slow. as for one thing I use an old-fashioned hammer gun and do not “I'll it as any time at full

we decided to give up the chase.

Herc is nn- 5 other incident that further revealsi their guile. We ran across a covey, made up oi’ at letast 16 to 20 birds, located in a field near a. farmhouse and buildings, but far enough away so that the farm folk were not like- ly to complain of the shooting. Now, when stalking these birds they may | fly off a short distance when first l observing the trailer, and then settle Under similar condi- tions the prairie chicken will always put space between itself and man and any oi his works. But, as said before, the Hungarians are not or- dlnary. What happened in the case ‘ of these particular birds? They got up, flew leisurely across the field,

and settled down right in the garden i,

in front of the farmer's house. Safe, you bet. Imagine what would hap- pen tc any wild hunter who pre-. sumed to take a crack at anything

on the farmer's front lawn.

Where the birds have north and the country is wilder, hunters say that they are not so diflicult to secure. A newspaper friend who penetrated their north- crn ifastnesses the other day came back with the story that he bagged fifteen of the birds. We accepted his story, but it has to be taken into consideration that he is a sports writer, and you know how colorful these chaps are, always creating re- cords and such like.

At the same time his statement bears out; the general contention of this article, that where the Hungar- ian is located in well-settled dis- i tricts, continually shot over, they ‘ are adapting themselves to circum- ' stances, more than holding their own, and are providing a great addi- tion to the opportunities for sport. It has been said that they are likely to drive out these two fine native game birds, the ruffed grouse and the prairie chicken, but so far no i evidence oi the kind has turned up. For one thing, the three varieties of birds favor different terrain, the prairie chicken preferring the grain fields, the ruffled grouse the ravines and sheltered spots, and the Hun- garians the plow land and low patches of bush in the open prairie.

Alberta sportsmen are now ex- perimenting with pheasants, and quite a number have been turned down in the south and other locali- ties. Of course, we all hope they will become acclimatized, but if anything the pheasants are more likely to in teriere with the prairie chicken and the ruffed grouse than the Hungar- ians, as for one thing they haunt similar localities.

However, in the vast Alberta countryside there is room for all. Pheasants afford good shooting. that is acknowledged, but even if they do succeed in the province, and re- ports sre very favorable, for the sportsman who likes; some of the odds to be on the side of the birds, "my will never put un a better fight than the game little Hungarians.
