Rabbit Hunting Should Be Made Red-Blood Sport
Conditions favored rabbit hunting yesterday and many readers went afield. Rabbits feed at night and after snow, making tracks easy to follow. hunters who find a track usually pursue the game nearby. Some hunters trap the rabbit in its bed, but true sportsmen give the animal a chance, while careless shots show poor ethics. A grand turnout is anticipated tomorrow as fields and patches will be combed. Later snows will drive rabbits to burrows, and less scrupulous hunters may use ferrets or sacks. The Farm Short Course meets a great need, inquire about it. Bruce F. Sates, Sec’y.
