"
"Oh, a hundred is nothing," said Whopper, airily. "Maybe I'll
get that many myself. I once heard of a man who shot two hundred
wild turkeys in a day."
"I don't call that sport," put in Giant. "I call that butchery."
"So do I," answered Snap. "Even as it is, I sometimes think we
are shooting too much."
"Well, if we don't bring the game down somebody else will," said
Whopper.
"Some day they'll have to pass some more laws, protecting game," was
Shep's comment. "If they don't, there won't be anything to shoot
inside of the next fifteen or twenty years."
"My father said that some folks were advocating a law to stop all
deer-shooting for two years or longer," said Shep. "That would
give them a chance to multiply."
"Well, I am going to shoot what I can---now I am out here," said
Whopper.

content themselves with a squirrel and a few fair-sized birds.
