January 16, to November 1 to
January 15, is the proper time to
hoot coons is Ootober end tbo
first part of November, tbey say
and not after the snow foils. It
is declared the change is a scheme
of tbe trappurs**to Mart the season
late, so they csn ply their trade,
as tbe tars ore best fo winter,
writes Horry Hays, ot Hollidaysburg.
Huntiug coons i. rare sport and
the supporters of tho pastime believe that these animals sboald
not be permitted to be token ia
traps by -for boaters, bat booted
io o more honorable manner.
There" are maoy fox ood otber for
raising forms nowadays and these
sportsmen are of tho opioioo tbat
tba far market ean be supplied
from these sources. Trapping at
best is a brutal meao. ot takiog
animals ood causes untold horm
to otber denizens of the woods
and hunting dogs. One hauler
says how mnch more decent and
sportsmanlike it io to listen to
tbe ory of tbo bounds io
fall chase .s they bound over bill
ood dale than the spiteful click of
bloody traps

Kephart said thet bit season be
toood seven coons that bad been
caught in traps and bed chewed
oft tbeir legs, io order to free
themselves, two of tbe animals
each being rnino- two legs.
This hooter who koows the
ways of ths ring-tail from A to Z
says that it tho preeent season
continues, the raccoon will ia
time become exterminated by the
trappers, as many persons will use
traps wholly on account of the
late start of the season ood by
tbia unsportsmanlike aod mercenary method will moko greet
inroads upon'the animals, that are
oot cunning like tho fox, but ore
easily caught io traps.
