I never s» pected pheasants in a sector where the red foxes were so numerous, and have no idea yet as to what the birds were feeding on.

A few days ago, Gordon Brown. m ob- servant young sportsman from Pownal. told me that on ca. walk along this same swampy area, dur- ing the latter part of the month just peat, he came across three covey's of pheasants, When birds as large and conspicuous as pheas- ants can exist and multiply 1n a. territory infested with red foxes shows that the birds are possess- ed with more than the ordinary inteiigence and resourcefulness. out tho- the the scout W!!! One w two nature lovers have expressed the fear that the 5 day open season, if the Association's request is granted, will result in the decimation of our pheasant population. All I can say is this: Such a calamity didn't happen in the’ West when tho season was opened, or yet in Ontario, or Peelee Island, or in the sister province of Nova Scotla. On the contrary the species increased with the killing off of surplus males. Mr. R. W. ‘Tufts, hief Frflrai Migra- - ry Bird Officer, Worfville, NS. stated not long ago that tho open season in his province for the past three years proved beneficial. In conversation with a resident of the Annapolis Valley during Exhi- bition week I learned that the birds were “thick as rabbits" in the area around Middleton.

However, it is generally seconded that it was W. ll.

About nine years ago he arranged with l; of- c-ifi in sewphmunzvi” x exc nge eassn un- garian partridge.

The birds barely held their own for several years but finally managed to beat the “jinx" that seemed to follow them, and for the part four ears have increased rapidly. oday there are thousands of pheasants present in the province, with the cock birds estimated to predomin- ate at a. ratio of 3 to l. The old cock birds brought their Eastern customs to this country.

It was evident, that fighting among males during the breedin season and their predominance berswas interfe with normal reproduction. and was this fact that finally moved the Game As- sociatlon to ask for an open season on cock birds.‘ Hen pheasants will be strictly protected provi the season on cock birds is thrown open. The Provincial Game Act provides a heavy penalty under the section of the Act governing pheasants. Hen pheasants are as different from the cocks as chalk is from ghielfileo. The males ma‘? 113-111;‘, r amly puma s narrow, gracefully‘ pointed tails about l6 or 17 inches long. The colour is a complicated pattern of metalic shades of Emerald green, deep maroon, oreun, ochre and black with a. conspicuous white collar about ban of neck. The fc- male is coloured on the back with rich dark brown markings and the Gunners who have hunted the pheasant contend that the old cocks develop an almost uncanny cunning once they are hunted. This is readily understood when one digs down into the history of the Mongolian, or ring-necked pheasant. As the name imglies the birds originally came to ng- land (Introduced) from the coun- of Mongolia in North China, a. region where seasons and Zamc laws are yet (unknown. The na- tives robbed "the nests of eggs whenever they could find them and the birds themselves were trapped, snared or shot. through- out the year.

The tail of the female is about half as long as that of the male. It is presumed that the game warden will work on the assum n that anyone who cannot te a cock pheasant from a hen pheasant shouldn't be at large with a. shot- gun. The ccck birds are fully as large as an ordinary domestic fowl and are rated highly as a. table delicacy.
