cnbtme awarded jos clark memorial trophy for j 939 vol 52 no 28 st0uffv1lle ont thursday october 29 1939 eight pages hunters obtain 1500 pheasants in markham o assuming that every hunter in markham township on fri day and saturday during the big pheasant shoot took an average of one bird each day of the hunt the township yielded up no less than 1500 birds and perhaps 2000 were shot it is believed as a fair estimate the municipality was stocked by the department of game and fisheries last spring and there is good reason to believe that an average of one bird as stated was taken- many obtained the full quota of three each day they hunted some of course had no game at all over in pickering where 200 licenses were issued to non residents similar results were reported not nearly so many resident farmers entered the sport however not a single arrest or charge was laid in these two days so far as we could learn enquiry from constable b cayman brought out the fact that all was well in markham and few complaints were made then only of a very trivial nature the hunters were disposed to obey the law to the latter al though they could hardly wait until the tick of the clock at s in the morning before sniping the first bird perfect weather gave the huntsman a worthwhile day or two in the country 13 means something to this family the much talked of date of friday the thirteenth
