The Huns and pheas- ants are faring as \vell_ as they did in November. Not so the rabbits. The sporting bunnies are the goats whether the winter be mild or snow bound. Last winter the woods were almost obliterated under sDDW drifts and many swamps were impassable except on snow shoes. The food problem didn't bother the rabbits as they are equipped with admirable snowshoes and the deep snow made it possible for them to dine in state on the tender twigs and buds found at the tips of the juniper and birchcs. 0 o s ‘Ihcre is always a catch to ev- erything and while last winter they didn't have to worry about hunters and their dogs or what to eat they did have to keep both eyes open for Brcr Fox. Mice were protected in most instances by deep crusted snow and the foxes had to spend most of their time in the woods hunting rabbits. Last February a local fur buyer com- plained to nle'about the poor qiiai- pelts brought iii for sale by liuntcrs and trap- pers. To quote his own words: "They were the scrliggicst bunch of rcd pelts I cver saw and many of thcm were rubbed at the hips in January as bad as they should be in Marci o a I explained that the foxes had to do their hunting in the thick spruce swamps this winter (i947- 481. I had observed that few fox tracks irerc noted in the fields and sivales but that the woods were full of tlicm. “I never thought of that" was his com- ment. This winter (1948-49) the opposite holds good. The foxes are favouring the swaies and grown over tracts and uncut hay- fields. The winter of 1945-46 was another hard one on the rabbits from a hunting standpoint. It was possible to cover almost any sec- tion of the province by car all year. soc On Saturday. Jan. 8th I hap- pened to be scouting across the river. It ivas a grand day - mild and sunshlny. I heard four different parties of hunters and dogs going full blast. One party was having good sport in the woods back of the Orphanage. The second was having rather lean pickings in the woods along the Bunbury Road judging from the volume of gunfire. It was tile third and fourth parties who were really going to town. One was hunting in the T Hill area. or it seemed so from the gunshots, or it could have been in the Crown Point sector. The last group were celebrating nlong iiic range of hills buck of Alexandra and ivcst of the McLennan Road. O O O They had a puck of hounds that seemed to be tearing the woods apart and their deep buying was punctuated by the sharp rattle of gunfire. There must have been an awful lot of rabbits or else they were the world's poorest marksman for in 20 minutes I counted 28 shots. 1n approx one hour I numbered 78 gimshous be- tivcen the last two hunting par- ties. Ycs, the bunnies are taking quite a boating at the hands of the hunters this winter but there will be enough left in the deep woods and swamps to furnish breeding stock to repopulate the shot out covers that are so situat- ed they favour the hunters and their dogs. O Last wlntcr they took it. in the neck from foxes. On several snowshoe trumps I saw signs aplenty of their work and it's a wonder that we have rabbits this winter in numbers sufficient to furnish sporty hunting. O O O Foxes are beginning to show the result of heavy casualties due to intensive hunting with hounds. In many districts their tracks are not nearly so numerous as they were a month ago. Hawkcyc and his party at Mount Albion hate accounted for 20 to date and they have only been hunting part time. Several new comers from the city have broken into the fox hunt- ing game and have made an en- viable record for themselves. 1 believe that the old veteran fox hunter from West Royalty, Jack Douse, snd his hunting partner have accounted for 32 ions shot over hounds up to s. week ago. .1 believe that this number tops in‘ records. I 'don't want to be too sure for there are a. number of pretty cugey fox hunters in the western section of the province Later on I may give some figures on the fox kill and relate a few smctfin incidents in connednion with illc hunting. s . 11s not always illr. veteran fox hunters who bring home the fox.
