They were re- ported ta be fairly plentiful, but hunters who went out with- out dogs did not fare nearly as 1well as' those wha had them. The pheasants were running into the late faîl foliage and dogs were needed ta flush them out. Among the successful local hunters, John and Ted Bird shot five between them and Tom Rehder, Lawson Kîrkton and Tom Palmer each shot two. Harvey, Clint, Bruce and Jack Lunney went out together and bagged six between them. Fred Griffin, Ted-McLaugh. lin and John Waiker, Toronto, who were hunting tagether, shot four; and John Poulos, Maurice Prout, Alex Cameron Sr., Bill Kirkton and George Hacking bagged one apiece.
