Plant Wild Rico.—If the sportsmen will do this in the fall of the year, he will be amply repaid for his pains later. Ducks wfll not linger in waters devoid of food. It is to Vour^interest to plant wild rice. Por Duck Shooting"—Use a lo bore shot gun, Syi t0 9>^ lbs., full choke, or a i2-gaugc. Best time October and November. To Scnll a Boat—With one oar, place oar over the stern or rear of the boat in a rowlock secured there for the purpose, and thrusting the blade ^n the water deeply, move it so as to describe as near as possible a series of i^rns similar to the capital, letter L, allowing the blade of the oar to take as large a figure as possible but restricting the move- ment of your hands to as small a figure as you can. To get the idea better, take a pencil and write a series of capital L in quick succession one. under the other without stopping—try it. I have taught a dozen duck hunters the idea by this sim- ple plan. Decoy Duck Jaunting"—Try a small bore rifle for oiit of range birds, cripples, stragglers, etc. If Ducks Aligfht—Out of range of your decoys, disperse them lest they attract others from your decoys—go after them. Ducks Approaching Decoys—And flying with the wind invariably pass over the decoys, then swing around to alight. Try Tollingf—For canvas back or broad bills especially. Best Time for Duck Shooting—Just, before daylight or before dark. A Sligfht Noise—Or whistle will often cause ducks to group or close together. Por Wild Geese—Use a lo bore gun, 4>^ drs., powder, ^X to i J^ ozs. No. 2 shot. Best time is in snow storm, as they are then bewildered and rest- less; Mallard also are similarly affected* If at Porty Yards—A fool seems to far ahead, make It two, keep the. gun moving and the bird, falls dead. ^^^^.
