Show Safety For Hunters A facetious editor, Impressed by the number of hunters wounded and slain thrugh the mistakes of their brothers in the field, remarks that the safest plan for a hunter is to stay in the open, away fromi the woods, and wait for the game to come out for a straight shot. In truth, as one reads of the hunters who are killed when they move ;he bushes, the danger of the sprrt becomes somewhat apalling. Tender-hearted editors can hardly refrain from urging the utmost cauticn on the part of all local nimrods, bcth cn behalf of theim-selves theim-selves and also for the benefit of any wayfarer in the woods who imight become the target for some expert hunter. A good rule for all hunters to observe would be to hold their fire until the quarry is plainly apparent. This wculd prevent the shooting oi children, who might be picking berries ber-ries in the vicinity and others who, inadvertently, move the bushes that are under the watchful eye of the overzealous devotee of the hunt. |
