HUNTING THE WARY BLACK MALLARD ON LONG ISLAND
Three hours' journey from the heart of New York City, on the shores of Long Island, two hunters undertake to bag their limit of black mallard ducks, conceded to be among the wariest of game. They are shown setting out their live decoys and preparing the blind inside of which they await the coming of the birds. Whether or not you are a hunter you will get a thrill out of seeing these wild ducks come flying past with wings flapping frantically. Suddenly one of them goes into a nose dive, hitting the water with a splash that sends the spray flying. Two well trained dogs race each other to retrieve the game. Every duck hunter will, of course, want to see this film. Others will enjoy it because it shows intmiate glimpses of a fascinating and dramatic sport.

BONE FISH OF THE BAHAMAS
Described by many anglers as "the world's gamiest fish," the bone fish, taken on the lightest of salt water tackle, offers rare sport to the enthusiastic fisherman. With a piece of the conch meat on his hook the fisherman makes several casts until — blowie ! The bone fish strikes and out shoots the line ! After a game battle it is brought to the net and we get a clear closeup of the fish. The fishermen then decide to go after barracuda, known as "the tigers of the sea." They catch several of these large fish which are said to be more dangerous to man than sharks. Last of all a Wahoo, weighing 85 pounds, is caught. This is the kind of picture that will make the blood of a sportsman run a lot faster. It is equally thrilling and interesting to the person who has never held a fishing rod in his hand.
