Show DUCK duch sh ENDS DEC the duck season for this section of the state closes this friday at about ten minutes to five in the at af hernoon the season on ducks around del ta and the reservoirs here has not been so successful but the shooting at clear lake has been a lot better than heretofore swan suan lake also had bad water in it this year and a lot of ducks and geese were there there v ere a number of geese killed this year both at the reservoir and at clear lake but the shooting at clear lake tor for geee was much bet ter than up above town the ducks are not as plentiful as they were in 1920 1 when we had all of the little lakes west of deser et full of water and a lot of sloughs around all of the reservoirs the disease accounted for a lot of the ducks and then conditions here were not what they were to induce them to come in so that we have had poor seasons for the last several years another bad feature is the closing of the season early as the larger ducks and geese do not come into this district until it starts to freeze and then tie tle shooting is very good |
