SHOOTING GAME OUT OF SEASON.
To the Editor. Sir, —The illicit shooting of game in the Waiteti valiey has become very sarious indeed. Native pigeons and pheasants are being shot without any qualms of conscience fay so-called sportsmen at all times. A few weeks ago a lot of hoodlum 3 shot some nesting pigeons in a bit of bush between Messrs Gillanders and Weir and Messrs Goile Bros. Last Sunday week a sportsman, so-called, and a man of years enough on his head to make him know better, was seen to shoot at a hen pheasant which had just risen from a brood of young. And yet these people call this sort of thing sport. The Waiteti settlers are determined that it will stop right off the m?rk and are taking all precautions to bring offenders to punishment. The railway authorities are being communicated with to stop all trespassers on the railway with a gun in their possession. The Acclimatisation Society are also being requested to take steps action in the matter. If anybody thinks the above empty talk, well, just let them try it on and be caught. They won't repeat the performance except for devilment. —I am, etc., WAITETI,
