Show m mm in OKI 7 M f Ale. , . , preserve where every i. nimrod has a chance 4 at varied birds I came back from hunting with a bag of pheasants, quail, chukar and several fat mallard ducks. Time partridge expended on the hunt: less than six hours, including travel! Money spent: less than $50! Normally anyone hunting these different species would spend a lot more time and cash because, in the wild, the birds are scattered Recently throughout the country. The answer, in my case, was the shooting preserve, a privately owned and area of some 200 acres where, for a reasonable d, fee, artificially propagated birds are released for gunning. Preserves are not exactly new, but their growth is. Where 22 states permitted this kind of shooting in 1954, now 41 states approve it In the 1954-5- 5 season there were 620 private and 136 public shooting preserves, while last season there were 869 private and 338 public ones, a sizable increase! For those of you who might think such huntor shooting is a "set-up- ," let me out that I've shot wild birds ing, point in many places India, Cuba, Mexico, Canada and can honestly say that all the preserve birds I got flew excellently. The pheasants were the equal of those in the Dakotas and the mallards just as speedy as those I've shot at in Louisiana. The quail in covey weren't in the same league with the wild Alabama but they were still fast enough to give me a hard time; the chukars won't put the ruffed grouse out of business, but I missed the first three when they burst off the ground and swerved behind bushy cedars T&e need for shooting preserves is very real in today's sports-mindworld. Twenty years 7 there million were ago hunting licenses sold 16 million, and the there are annually; today sport is still growing. But game supply and places to hunt have not kept pace with this broadening activity. As this is written, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service tells me that the wild duck population is so low that the limit on mallards and canvasback has been reduced by half and there is thought about cutting the season drastically, perhaps closing it. Because of scarce game, devoted sportsmen like Antoine Gilly, president of the French hunting club, Club des Chasseurs de New Yqrk, no longer spend time and money chasing around . the country in a sometimes state-licens- ed pen-raise- "fish-in-a-barr- el" -- bob-whit- ed 5 I es, An appetizing breakfast food can be more effective than harsh laxatives answer to the problem of increasing cost and decreasing game it's the shootings . i WITH DHDG! Sportsmen hav an II J in nil ii - by JACK DENTON SCOTT JT.' i i hopeless search for birds. He and his group have found the answer in the Joe Cox Game Farm, 600 varied acres, in the Quaker Hill section of Pawling, N. Y. . Gilly puts it like this: "Before preserves, we had to train and maintain our own dogs and transport them to the game fields. We had to wait until a certain season to hunt quail, then travel a great distance to find them; the same with ducks, partridge and pheasant Now, what used to take weeks, and in some cases, months of arranging, travel and just plain looking for the game, can be wrapped up in about eight hours. And it all costs 10 times less than I've spent going after ducks in Arkansas." to the advantage of being located conveniently as your drive-i- n movie or shopping center, preserves have broad seasons, extending in most states from Sept 15 until March 15. On many, the only license you need is the preserve tag which costs $1; on others you need the regular state hunting license. A few hay e membership requirements, and you pay so "much a year in dues and get your birds at a reduced rate. These restrict shooting to members. Prices for birds, procedure and species of game vary. Some stock only pheasants ancL ask $5 for each- bird they release, whether you bag it or not; others ask that you pay for the birds you get The price norm is $5 for pheasants, $3 to $4 for ducks and partridge, $2.50 to $3 for quail. There are no hidden charges. Guides and skilled dogs are furnished free. On most preserves, if you only want to spend $10 and hunt an hour or so, that's your privilege. But it's wise to write to the preserve nearest you and ask about requirements. Last year, hunting accounted for 772,723 game birds harvested on 308 preserves. Harry Hampton of the Sportsmen's Service Bureau, a man who has done much to develop and improve the shooting-preseridea, believes that the figure will be well over a million in 1960 -- a figure sportsmen concerned with decreasing game and increasing costs will gladly take aim on. addition Inalmost as - "cash-on-delive- type laxatives now stay on schedule naturally by eating a small serving of Kellogg's n each day.
