PAGB SIX ' «r- OUT-OF-DOORS STUFF By Lans L e a eve Not long ago a man remarked to me, “This hunting and fishing busi ness is sure expensive sport. I paid three dollart for a-Ashing license and haven’t caught two bits worth of fish this season. It’s the last license I’m ever going to buy. Hereafter I shall buy my fish at the market and be ahead on the deal; and beside, the li cense is too high.” The gentleman was correct in both instances — angling licenses are too high. Thousands and thousands more would be sold if they could be pur chased for one dollar. And aa far aa hoping to make your catch of fish equivalent to the sum expanded for a license—why that’s practically out. Few fishermen do it. It is true be yond a doubt that the average angler could take the three dollars that he spends for an angling license and pur chase more fish at a market than he catches in any season. You cannot compare commercial value of game with the sport, Tlie average angler and hunter spends dollar upon dollar in pursuit of fish and game. Many dollars are invested in fishing tackle, guns and ammunition, money io spent for gas, for tires, for food, while in pursuit of game and fish. Few and far between are the anglers and hunt- era whom one can truthfully say . “cash in” on thibir investment in guns, shells, fishing tackles, pack horses, gas and grub, as far as ob taining ths commercial value in game or fish, equivalent to (¡heir invest ment* in the pursuit of same. And how many of them expect to really do. so? A man who never hunts or fishes and stands on the aid« lines looking on, no doubt, looks upon a fisherman and a hunter ae a couple of aaps who throw money to the birds which could be used in the purchase of foodstuffs. He does not under stand the man who will part with his last penny to buy a fishing license, or a hunting license, or a box of shells. To those who do not understand him the hunter and fisherman must certainly appear plumb crazy aa he dashes about long before daylight preparing for a journey into the wilds, the marshes, or along some stream. But it is not the commercial value of the game, or the fish taken, which is weighed by a sportsman, a lover of the out-of-doors. He realises as far as hte catch and kill are concerned, regarding their commercial value, that he is a loser in aa far as dollars and cents are concerned. But is he really a laser?

There is a certain fascination in gunning for the “Chink” as this wily old bird is always springing tricks upon the hunter. To those who hunt without a dog the surprises come thick and fast With no dog to point the birds for him, the hunter must be constantly on the alert. He tramps and tramps about the fields with no result and drag ging weary feet homeward, his gun tucked beneath his arm and with all hope abandoned for a shot at a roost er, he is suddenly startled by a roar of wings and a big ring-neck arises from under his very feet and goes thunder ing off into the face of the setting sun. A hurried shot, a curse, and the gunner stands watching the old bird sail over the cover of a dense briar patch or a big corn field. And these birds, too, have an exasperating habit of taking to the air just when a hunter is crawling between the strands of a barbed wire fence. Moro than one hunter has lost the back of his shirt or the seat of his panto try ing to get through a fence in time to get a shot at the bird which rose only a few feet distant, while, the hunter, was partly through the fence.

Aside the wood duck there ia no bird which flies that equals the coloring of the pheas ant, the peacock included. Take all the colon of the rainbow, merge them with a golden sunset and then go forth to the fall-decked hills and gather their gorgeous colors and you have represented in a small way the coloring of the Chinese pheasant. The atmosphere of the Orient still clings about him despite his many yean in this country. Somehow to me he is always associated with the mysteri ous East—the land of yellow-skinned people—with magic, rice field«, golden sunset, sluggish riven, a babble of jargon. The mysterious bird from out the far East—the great game bird of our soil. The Chinese are noted for their cunning and it appears that this gorgeous-colored bird has in some manner absorbed that cunning from the yellow-skinned people with whom he has associated for countless yean. But be that as it may, the pheasant is endowed with remarkable sense. Th?se birds have an uncanny instinct for self-preservation. AU in all, old friend “Chink” is a wonderful bird.
