Show OUCH SHOOTING SEASON EXTENDED Millions of ducka are still remaining in unseasonable sojourn on the waters of Great Bait "Lake and adjoining marshea. They have not made good shooting so far, for the Bimple reason that they have been feeding at night, and have been flying elsewhere in the daytime. But they are there. Further, their presence at so late a season and in such, numbers threatens more or less severely a recurrence of ths "mal- '" auiiuBg tlie uUCKS. '. " . In other winters, they have beu south long before this, for the reason that they fly south as soon as the ice forms on the water. Therefore, in other winters, there never has been any demand for a continuation of the duck-shooting season, and the state law closing the duck shooting season j with the end of the year has never required re-quired enforcement. This'yeafMon account of the peculiar pecu-liar conditions, the ducks are remaining' remain-ing' and are liable to suffer harm, It is argued by sportsmen, if they do remain unmolested after Jan. 1. For that reason the word has been passed among sportsmen that the shooting of ducks after season will be permitted this year, until Jan. IB. It is intimated intimat-ed that the law with regard to the kIzo of the daily "bag" must be rigidly observed, and also the regulations with regard to the, hours of shooting. But for the actual shooting of ducks fn daylight by men who have not exceed.-, ed the limit legal during the open sea-Sony sea-Sony it is not believed there will be any prosecutions. ' ,' - - t - |
