More Grouse iV4ts 
WE didn't know the country had quite s 
many grouse hunters until we started re- 
ceiving replies a couple of weeks ago in 
answer to the item, "Got Any Bigger?" 
which appeared in these colutmns last 
month. We have had a whale of a lot of 
letters from grouse hunters since, and we 
think some of them are very interesting. 
For instance, Mr. Karl Foster of Great 
Barrington, Mass., writes: "On October 
23, 1915, I killed two partridges in one of 
our local covers. In my notebook of that 
year I find the weight of one of these birds 
given as two pounds and 2 ounces and the 
other marked simply 'large bird.' I was 
19 years old at the time and was getting to 
be rather a nut on partridge shooting. 
"I also have another notation of two 
pounds, even, as the weight of another bird 
shot the same season. During the past sea- 
son my largest bird weighed 28 ounces and 
had been feeding extensively on wild bar- 
berries. I found last season that my birds 
ran very close to a 24-ounce average, which 
is about as usual. I have an idea that in the 
old days the birds were larger on an aver- 
age because they fed extensively on chest- 
nuts, which we do not have here today." 
A Virginian, Mr. Carroll Felts, explains: 
"Mr. Lytle has it on me slightly, but in 
1938 I killed a grouse weighing 29% 
ounces, spread 25 inches, length 21 inches. 
During 1934 I killed two grouse, both 
weighing 28 ounces, spread 2534 inches, 
length 21Y¢4 inches. Incidentally the 29% 
ounce bird had an empty crop, whereas the 
 
lighter birds' crops were full. I thought it 
strange that the lighter birds had more 
spread and length than the large one." 
And a neighbor of his, Mr. W. W. Hurt 
of Belle, West Virginia, intimates that we 
were, perhaps, a little conservative in our 
statement that a good average weight for 
grouse is 24 ounces. He wrote as follows: 
"I have killed many grouse weighing 26 
ounces, a few weighing 28 ounces, and one 
weighing 30 ounces. I consider a 22-ounce 
bird small, not full grown. Maybe they 
grow bigger down here in Virginia and 
West Virginia than they do up East." 
Giant Killer 
IF 13-year-old George Mays of Monticello 
Florida, lives to be 100 years old and hunts 
every day of his life until then, the chances 
are the many thrills he will have will be 
pretty much "old stuff." 
For, despite his age, George has alread3 
cut a niche for himself in the hunting field 
Last fall he had the distinction of shoot 
 
ing a 340-pound bear on a Florida hun 
The bear was shot on a drive, an 
George used a shotgun to turn the tricl 
It took three loads to bring the "critter 
to earth-which, we believe, is to George 
distinct credit. Had we been in George 
shoes, and of George's years, we figure w 
would have plumb forgot about the secon 
haurrel. let alone the iob of reloading.

WISCONSIN 
* The fishing hole of your 
childhood days is a great place to 
dream about. And fishing trips of years 
ago become more glorious year by 
year as time mellows the memory and 
imagination enlarges the catch. You 
can find great fishing in the pipe smoke 
as you dream of angling days long gone. 
But if you want to catch 'em instead 
of dream about 'em, come to Wisconsin 
where world-famous waters are kept 
well stocked by the world's greatest 
fish propagation program. Come for 
muskellunge, king of all fresh water 
game fish, for brook, rainbow, brown 
or lake trout, for black bass, walleye 
and northern pike, and don't overlook 
the many varieties of pan fish. 
By all means bring the family when 
you come. You can have any type of 
accommodations you may want and 
facilities for all outdoor sports and 
recreation at whatever cost your budget 
indicates.
