FISHING AND HUNTING NOTES J. C. Bruce of Wawona, Cat, reports his best one-day kill this season to have been a mountain lion and three wild cats. Eastern Oklahoma was well supplied with wolves and foxes a quarter of a century ago, but today the country in so thickly settled that only a wolf is taken occasionally and foxes are almost gone. The best, places to get tarpon in Florida are Boca Grande, St James City, Tarpon Springs, Long Key, Homosassa, Fort Myers, Miami, Sanibel Island. Bradentown, Mareo, Gayo Costa; St. Petersburg and Useppa Island. ... A siKjrtsmau writes from Saranac Lake, X. J., that every Saturday morning this winter a f.ox hunt takes place and some fifty men and fifteen hounds tike part in the fun. As a result fox skins have been much in evidence here. Lute Trim, Adirondack guide, has disposed of thirty-four fox skins, fourteen mink, sixteen coons, fifteen skunks, one hundred and nineteen muskrats, one fisher and one marten, representing his seasons trapping. It is said Lute carried away a check for ,000. February 10 was the close of the skunk season throughout New York State.
