Show HUNTERS CAUSING LIVESTOCK LOSSES i i i . Promiscuous shooting by quail and rabbit hunters in the local fields is causing considerable loss to those grazing livestock in the neighborhood. Wallace B. Mathis reports that shortly short-ly after the opening of the quail season sea-son he lost a pig and a cow, victims of some wild-eyed hunter on his farm in the Santa Clara field. When the animals ani-mals were skinned the carcasses were found to have been peppered with bird shot. Others have reported ' similar losses. Unless this recklessness is curbed it will mean that within a short time, to protect themselves, farmers will sign their property and prohibit hunting on their premises. ; , : 1 1 . |
