HUNTER’S CORNER

Native Partridge Shortage, Wild Geese Get Smarter

November is on its last lap end nobody appears to he shed- ding any tears. We have had no more than two nice days to date and one of them got pretty cold toward late p.m Davbreak on November 3rd saw the ground covered with an approximate four inches

Our Indian Summer most cer-

tainly got sidetracked along the,

line. I have had just two hunts this fall for Native partridge and never even glimpsed or heard one I know that some of them gaw me for I was in rea! part- midge territory. | walked over a mile and a half of wood roads in typical grouse terrain. In places the mixed hardwoods and spruce made an arch over the trail and a soft sunlight filtered through to throw the crimson and gold leaves, that covered the ground, into bold relief

I expected any moment to have a grouse thunder up from trail side an” knew | wouldn't have time for a shot unless the eafety was off. Without warning another hunter. areal ruffed grouse friend. met me head on. This .wwas a huge Goshawk that was cruising the trail at tree top level. It too was on a hunt for ruffed grouse. I shoot from the left shoulder and on a right hand ewing I'm just about as fast as Cassius Clay. She, it was a fe- male and almost twice as large as the male, butted her head squarely into a charge of seven and a half shot. I felt a_ slight twinge of remorse when I had her in hand for she was a lovely specimen but ... this remourse- ful feeling evaporated swiftly a half mile farther on when, at the bypass of a dam I found where she had plucked a black duck feather by feather. She made one mistake. She swung off the trail like a streak of grey but it was to her left instead of right. On a left swing I'm a lot slower and she'd have made it without a doubt

Four black ducks, in fact the only black ducks in the area, had made their home at thie dam for several weeks and then were seen no more. I wondered why they should have pulled out. | Her ladyship was the cause" of their departure ... if any were left to depart. The wildgeese are still on the rounds but have got- ten very trai] wise. Some old ganders can spot a rig of wood- en decoys and put them down for what they are at a single glance. They'll also warn other ‘flocks that are not so wise and exper. jenced. About a week ago two hunters who have been hunting geese for a long, long time team- ed up for a stubble goose shoot. Both have decoys that are as lifelike as the live product and both are experts when it cj to constructing a hide or / The field they rigged autArt

charge with a honk of Hz intensity, He paid no more at- tention to their ‘rig’ than he would to a flock of crows and brought his charges down at least three gunshots distant. He didn't feed with his charges but kept a sharp eye on the fake geese. At approximately fifteen or twenty minute intervals three flocks. of geese arrived and, with wings set, were coming in for a ‘Manding amid the fake birds. The old flock leader gave.with.a—few Sharp calls .and the first two flocks obeyed promptly and ceered cif and jeined his trout The third and last flock were in- clined to be disobedient and at first paid no attention to his or- ders. Whe- he gave them a real blast they reluctantly obeyed him. The=two hunters did ~ not want to fire a shot to drive the old timer off the stubble and de- cided on the walking method. They were about two hundred yards from their ‘rig’ when the
