With .an apparent effort fe Pre^e^ the destruction of pelts by shot holes and to give protection to trappers the the present New Jersey game laws tn t one instance at least npt only permit t methods of the fur bear- ' ing animals but work discrimination t ■against the hunter who guns for food, c Mink, otter and skunk are seldom eaten by those who take them, but the t muskrat is recognized as a game am - mal as well as a fur bearor Despife \ this fact the present law does not . permit this animal being shot -by ' » hunter excepting where it is destroy ing dams or canal banks, then the f owner or agent of the owners may kill t ^This statute protects the Uppers ] interests and the fur dealers business ■ but discriminates against to gunner | who hunts for food, and un^nn£f j animal is destroying dams or bank , prevents even the property owner i from shooting it. , , possibly the most cruel game taking device ever invented is the steel trap, which consists of two jaws and , , -nrDnf, nn the

a spring which when sprung the o feot or leg of the unfortunate animal t holds it «ke a vice- The force of the | trap often breaks the animal s leg if j* not that it mangles the flesh and ; causes. -agony untold.

I Where the humane societies and cruelty to animal associations have been and why they have overlooked . this particular phase of cruelty is a mystery to many sportsmen. One popular method of taking musk rats has been outlawed as it destroyed the muskrat lodge or nesting chamber. The lodge is a heap of grass and mud similar in appearance to a small stack or cock of hay. or the home of the beaver. When the meadows freeze these lodges may be readied bv the cautim-1 - approaching ■fur seeker. In the old days a number of long steel rods sharpened on one end and fastened into a block of mJL wood making multiple of spears wood ma long muiupic e

Arriving near enou^ £ the hunter would plunge the e into the top .f the lodge and.pmthe a animals fast after which he would tear the lodge apart and knodc the v game on the head- Cruel as this may appear it is. far more merciful than v the steel trap, for those escaping j could find shelter in some burrow or # other haven or refuse, and those t caught were killed at oncecaugni were
