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

preparing for a journey into the wilds,

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

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.
