Reports in regard to the shooting season that have come to hand during the present week show that m some parts of the Auckland Acclimatisation district there is splendid shooting, and that some very good bags havo been taken (statos the "Herald"). The largest bag that has been reported was one of 55 pheasants for three gun., for three days, and within a radius of 15 miles near Helensville. Records of bags from five to nine birds per gun per day are very numerous, and a few reports have come to hand of sportsmen obtaining the limit number of 12 cock pheasants for a day. Sportsmen are advised that it is useless to attempt to get pheasants in localities in which pollard is used for poisoning rabbits' The acclimatisation societies are urging the Government to discontinue poisoning rabbits with pollard for the reason that the practice is detrimental to pheasants. Quail are numerous in some portions of the district, and are affording good sport.
