2 the Editor of the "Norru-Cuixa Dany New!
Sm,—In your paper on the 18th instant, I read with much interest that in the Wuhu district in 1889, party of hunters bagged as many'
'2,000 head of pheasants, May Mr. Old Timer, the writer, how many days they tock to these birds? I believe tha the pheasants, they bagged also some 2,000 hares and so on.
That makes me think of a Mr. J. J. Pringle, of Louisiana, who, in TAL "days shooting, bagged 140,046 birds—say over 200 pieces a day! And according to his record the total of birds shot in his career is 160,000, and never in his life time did "he count those spoiled or lost! If the reader would look over the "Pield and Stream" magazine of 1923, he will find out also that hunter had to bag one snipe every half a minute, T support that this "game ho never passed a tree or walked a few steps without bagging a dozen of snipes with his automatic gun, or was it a double barrel?
Tam, ete,
