SHOOTING SEASON
POOR BAGS ON OPENING DAY. Unfavourable conditions marred the opening of the shooting season at Wairarapa Lake yesterday. A dense log enveloped the Lake until about 8 or 9 o'clock and bright sunshine then prevailed. The opening was considered by many sportsmen who had patronised the Lake every year as the worst for about twenty years. No limit bags were reported. In most cases the bags were almost negligible. One Masterton shooter secured eight ducks and one pukeko. The Lake is at high level and the backwaters and lagoons, where most of the shooting lakes place, are Hooded.
