GUN AND ROD '' ♦ ■■ THE NELSON DISTRICT FISH AND CAME REPORT, (Special to the "Evening Post.") NELSON. May 23. ' The attendance at the annual meeting of the Nclbou Acclimatisation Society traa the largest for many years, and the chairman (Mr. H. Silcock) expressci satisfaction that bo mu?li interest ■nfts being taken by sportsmen in the affsui of the society. lliree \aciucies on the council weiej filled by Jtessisi. A L. Nichol, A. Hailing, aud J. 11. Bjuie for sis nomiiut tions. The icpoit contained tlie tollowing in regard to game iv various parts of tha district:— . ' Deer.—Owing to the general depression! existing throughout the district and tlia need of many people for cheap food th«|: deer have had particular attention paid to them, and their numbers have" been si> reduced that it is quite act undertaking to get one, and hunters have to go far back to do that. There liave be^n nui complaints made to thiß society of dajnag« being done by deer for over twelve months. Opossums.—While the price of the ekinst of these animals is so low it would be * good thing to close' the seasons' to allow) them to multiply. However, the autliorix ties have decided to have an open season this year from July 1 to September I,' -! Grey Duck.—These birds are Sjil] ;:vcrj] scarce iv the settled portion of .£OO dis» trict, but they appear to be fairly^ plentiful on the rivers in the back coufltry.. Black Swan.—As was the case l»6t'year,t these birds are to be taken only in tha Collingwood county, where they abbilbd, in fairly large numbers near the mndipit. Chukor Partridges.—With the object of pro.viding more sport for the gun; sp'oi'tsiiien your council entered iuto' ai agreement with the Auckland Society, which in conjunction with Wellington-aii.t Canterburj', was importing a shipment ofl these bird* from India. The result ofi the shipment was a. total i failure; only ,a few birds ■ survived the passage . anct they have since died. This; year -the Auckland Society sent for. another hundred: birds, and your council got that" society; to include 50 more birds for Nelson. Th'id shipment turned out very. little* bettet; than the previous one; only. 80 birds sur« vived the passage and since being iv qunv< antine 50 have died, while the;remaiudei| do not look as if they will live to'leav« the island. . Your council has tried tnj get a few pairs from the south for breeding purposes, but so 'far''without success^ . . Pheasants.-r-Reportß from ; the countryj districts state that in, some parts pheasants appear to. be increasing, in, number^ anirl i-cquests have been made.. to tha( society for a few birds,, so thai, person* interested may try to breed arid liberatfl the young birds., With that end .'« view application has been .wiade ii thsj North Island for a few pairs. '- • Quail.—There is ever}' reason "to believd that the present seasoa will, be a.gooil one for quail. They bred well,"early in the year, and according, to informatiou; received the birds are in fair : numbers throughout the district, but : generally ii^ "close contact with rough cover. .>,'. Tront,—You.r council lias - pleasure in reporting that the 1932-33. season has proved a successful one, as good bags have been reported! from a|l parts of tl>a district, and the large number of sniall fisli seen augurs well for'future ■canons. This, no doubt, is the result of'■lJic1 intensive stocking policy -J carried:* out bf, your.'society.. Although the nUnibcr of fry raised this year virasinot so.gi-eat; .as-anticipated, still most rivers, received .liberal, stocking.'. • Brown fry-were libe> a'ted in the following rivers:—Maitai, Happy Valley,. Whangamoa, Lee, Koding, Wairoa Wainiea, Peare'e, Graham- ana Rhvaka. Rainbow fry were liberated iii the following lakes and river:—Lakes Rotbiti aud Rbtorda, two small Jakes at Collingwoodi and the Riwafea River,. lt| will be seen from the above tliat ■• th« council is endeavouring: to establish-Kaiui bow trout in the Riwaka River and intends to coutinue stocking"'fpr , several years.
