Can you or any of your readers give me any information about the shooting and hotel accommodations at Cobb's Island, Va.? What is the best route from New York to the island, and is there any goose, brant, or duck shooting to be had in the fall or winter?
Ans. A good many columns of information have appeared in this paper about Cobb's Island. There is a good hotel on the island, but the proprietor has declined to furnish the information through our columns. Excellent geese, duck, brant, snipe, and woodcock shooting in the fall and winter. To reach the island, sportsmen generally go to Washington, D. C., and take the steamer down the Potomac to Cherrystone. There is equally good shooting at Chincoteague, which can now be reached by rail and steamers of the Old Dominion Line.
