Rabbits Killed in Indiana State Forest Fund Boy Scouts Fund
A hunt led by WL Hi Freeman, secretary of the State Board of Forestry, on the Indiana crest reserve near Henryville resulted in 107 rabbits killed and sold for 99.75. Proceeds were donated to a school fund. Two guns were used, hunters expected arrest as wardens were present. Freeman provided ammunition and arranged a hearty lunch. The reserve proved rich in quail and pheasants, though bird shooting was banned. Earle notes one mild winter boosted quail. long closed seasons may not help. Farmers can keep hunters off farms to protect birds. The League of American Sportsmen plans to restock dozens more quail before year’s end.
