GOOD GAME SHOOTING.
BAGS IN WELLINGTON AREA. .The 1925 season, says the annual report of the Wellington Acclimatisation Society, was satisfactory owing to the continued efforts of the society to provide more game. The number of licenses issued was 1187, giving a net value of £1126 15s. "The wild weather for the opening day everywhere," says the report, "was responsible for much ammunition and more profanity, still sportsmen enjoyed themselves more or less. Five guns on the Wairarapa Lake took 500 ducks on three days, a limit bag. There were good mixed bags of duck, cock pheasants, nares and swans. Owing to various troubles in the United States quail are not being imported and are not visibly on the increase. This season to date 1530 licenses have been sold and a record issue is probable."
