Hunting In Wisconsin

Milwaukee. Noy. 2. - With the advent of colder weather, cloudy skies and a high northeast wind, duck hunters became more amiable, ar.d several parties left Milwaukee on the afternoon and evening trains for Wisconsin marshea and lakes in anticipation of enjoyir.g ïne sport this week. H. C. Reed and G. A. Messer returned from Lake Butte des Morts, where they spent a week shooting ducks and snipe. They said the ducks were bcginning to move about more freely and %ith the change in tha weather experienced fine shooting was assured. Snipe are plentiful on the marshes between Oshkosh and Poygan ake, but the water is high and the mnters are obliged to wear skis, as the ground is too soft to bear the weight of a man. Deer More Plentiful. Telegrams received in Milwaukee Indicated that the deer season has begun satisfactorily for the hunters who ïave started out. The most favorable reports were received from Thorpe, Withee, Kennan, Lamerdin, Medford, Teülsville, Monica Junction and Ashand, and it is likely that the express companies will bring a great many deer to market. James C. Pond. general passenger agent cf the Wisconsin Central lines has received reports from a number of agents in the northern part of the state relatlye of the deer hunting situation, and in speaking of them he said: "The best deer country lies between Thorpe and Stanley, Withee and Bcyd, either east or west of Medford ar.d Rib lake, and from Printice west on to the Soo line to Kennan. Plenty of Good Huntingr. "There are plenty of deer both north and south of Deer Tall, Hawkins and Ingraham, and the forty miles of country lying between the Wisconsin Central and Soo lines is also highly recommended. On the Rib river, between AbbotsCord and Lamerdin, I hear there is good liunting, and between Fifleld and Pike lake there is fine partridge shooting. Hunting parties from Ohio, chiefly Xenia, Peru and Lima, have gone to Prentice, but the majority of non-residents have gone to the Minnesota woods for their deer this fall on account of the ligh license. The Wisconsin Central las made a special round trip rate to all hunting points upto Nov. 15 and tickets will be good to return untll Nov. 30." Partridce Shooti.'ig Oood.

While returning from Pike Lake to Fifield. a distance of twenty-six miles, he killed twenty partridgcs.
