The New Game Regulations
Sir. —‘-Pisces,” in his letter, is blaming the Government for not having his pet stream, the Oroua, stocked with fish. He is certainly not a shooter or he would not bring polities into a question which affects all game licenceholders. Whether we are getting along well without Government help (irrespective of party) is a matter which reQuires the imniodiiitc attention of till concerned. However, he has brought to light something which we shooters have frowned upon for many years, that is, bungling and discord, among the various acclimatization societies, which he definitely exposes in regard to fry liberations in his own district. We shooters have always objected to our game licence money being devoted to the pleasure of fishermen, when the ducks, which supplied the bulk of the money have been almost wholly neglected. If the Feilding society had a credit balance of £420, we can suppose that the figure for the combined societies must have been very attractive. Why then, have they not diverted some of these funds to the welfare of the ducks, their source of supply of revenue, instead of “killing the goose which laid the golden egg?”— I am, etc., FUR AND FEATHER. Wellington, March 22.
