If we have the same type of ivintcr “'£‘2ll\‘.lf‘l' this year, sportsmen will enjoy up- land game shooting in the fall of 1948 such as is dreamed about and seldom experienced. With the Hungarian partridge season ent- ering on its last lap, closes on lllél evening of November 12th, there is no appreciable difference noted in the numbers of birds (‘Vrll in. the districts surrounding F1181‘- lottetown, but they have become wild and eligcy in the extreme and many covey's will not lie to even the most cautious flunti-ng doll!- A party of girnners out on the 4th and 5th of thc month report running into seven covers that ap- parently never had a shot fired at them.

Here is one point we gunners must not lose sight of: the pheas- ant is nothing more than a glor- ified barnyard fowl and once Jan- uary and February are ushered in, the cocks in particular. seem to lose a lot of their natural caution and gravitate to the nearest barn yard to hob nob with the domestic blddies. During the winter months many a wise old cock is ushered into a roasting pan through the medium of a .22 calibre rifle or being picked off a hen roost and having his neck wrung.

If there were many of the chicken on the rounds lt wouldfvt be a hard job to ‘locate them for when they are feeding in a stubble field they rI-o not feec. low like the lluns but walk around like domestic hens.
