Private duck clubs may not have had a direct hand
In the arbitrary act of setting aside three-quarters of
the Tule marsh area as a game sanctuary whether they
djd or not, is a matter of opinion but we do know
that when President Coolidge affixed his signature on
the order to close the marsh, he did a great favor for
the clubs of California to which only the wealthy and
privileged are admitted. " N
i We have listened to stories of the terrible slaughter
of birds on Tule Lake. One would 'think this 90,000
acre basin was a scene of terrible carnage from dawn
to dark of every hunting day of the season. Well, in
the first place, every Tule Lake hunter earns every bird
he shoots during recent years and, in the second, Tule
Lake is a haven of safety compared to the marshes of
private clubs' of California.
At three California duck clubs, located in the Stock
ton area, 13,325 ducks were killed by so-called sports
men on the opening day of the season. Mind you, that's
just three how many hundred thousand were shot in the
scores of other clubs throughout the state, is a matter of
conjecture.

devices of civilization are employed to lure the birds a
few feet before blinds where wealthy "sportsmen" sit
cozily ensconced within their covered and comfortable
blinds in some clubs attendants wait on the blinds and
provide warm water for cold hands and refreshments
of various sorts to hungry and thirsty nimrods.
Herewith is the story (of the slaughter of birds on
duck club marshes, written by J. P. Cuenin, game and
hunting editor of the San Francisco Examiner:
"Under the conditions at present we are probably killing
ten duck for each one killed in Oregon. This is possible
because ot the fact that we have iqore Jiuaterg.aad A grpnlrr
area of duck-shooting land. We have paved highways If ad-'
lng directly to each shooting ground, and we have every
' available acre of water systematically arranged for the
(laughter of ducks, with sunken blinds on every poud lu the
state placed to the best advantage ot the hunter. The
reason for the complete systematic arrangement of blinds is
that almost every acre of shooting ground iu California is
controlled by clubs. Just to give you an idea of the slaugh
ter that takes place I will give you some figures on the kill ot
a few club on opening day. On the Delta club, near Stock
ton. Zl shooters took limits. That la 5100 ducks. On the
Riverside club, near Stockton, 82 hunters took limiu, or
2050 ducks; while on still another club in the same district,
235 (hooters each bagged 25. or 6875 birds. We have hund
reds of clubs ln the state and, while all of them do not shoot
irom so many blinds, lt is plainly seen that the total bag in I
, this state accounts for an enormous number of birds. The
total bag of the three clubs mentioned was 13,325 ducks, not
counting cripples, which means at least one lost bird for each
. five picked up. Had the limit been 15 Instead of 25, the total
kill for the three clubs would have been reduced to 7995 birds,
which would have been a saving of 5330 ducks and with
fewer cripples."

If the Biological survey was so anxious to conserve
- game, . why didn't it attempt to legislate against the
disgraceful slaughter of birds at California clubs? Why
didn't it attempt to create a reserve in the San Joaquin
valley? Why didn't it recommend a lower duck limit?
And, last but not least, why did it deprive the duck
hunter, who can not afford to join private clubs, of his
best shooting, so that the birds on Tule Lake may fatten
up on a 7500 acre reserve before they continue their
southward flight into the slaugher marshes which are
called private sportsmen's clubs.
