American Hunters Find Luck Poorer in Canada
INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MINN. -Midwestern sportsmen who hunted big game in Canada during last fall's open seasons had rather poor luck, according to records kept at the American customs office here.
The records, which tabulated the game in pounds and not in numbers, showed that only 29,645 pounds of moose were brought into the United States as compared with 113,086 for 1937.
American hunters returned home with only 55,333 pounds of deer as against 81,645 pounds last year. Importation of bear meat dropped from 3,141 in 1937 to 2,250 pounds last year.
Duck hunters, however, had better shooting in Canada. They brought in 4,089 pounds of duck as compared with 3,141 last fall.
