HUNTERS' CORNER C

The Outing Isn't Wasted

It's passing strange how. with

the close of each hunting season. port

we make plans and resolution for the next. We'll do this and that. We will take a few afternoons off to roam the back trans and wood- land paths in quest of the beauti- fill and gamey Ruffed grouse our duck hunting will not end with the opening morning pheasant possi- bilities will. be checked in I back country swampy swala where old cock Ring-necks "sounded their clurion spring challenge in an Ap- rll dawn - yes. we'll do a lot of things but what happens? Hunting opportunities fade into oblivion. never to return. as a specific date is checked off the calendar and four scorc years and ten, man's Biblical life span, draws near.

My total bag on ducks to date is 4 - S blacks and a G ean-wing teal. The blacks were sh t on the opening morning. The teal was picked up a week later. I wasn't even hunting at the time: but when this fat and tasty duck flumped into a pot-hole I walked back to

I had plaity opportunities to have sport with black ducks whilst on other business. On a late Octo- ber afternoon I eat for a half hour listening to the quacking and feed- ing chatter of blacks in a flood- ed alder swamp. There was no particular point in scattering a hundred or more birds and rlvlng them into the arms oi waiting hunters in ther areas for the sake oi one shot. I have an aversion in any case of driving a heavy con- rcnlralion of waterfowl off a feeding ground. I prefer to wait rnr them cornlng in at dawn or. lalc evening. as the case may be. Under such a setup on can shoot what birds one needs and leave the rest of the night to feed in peaca,end safety.

I had one memorable hunt for grouse with my partner on an over- grown wood road theyvled into the middle of nowhere. The Pointers covered both sides of the road. I had one shot. A grouse roared up from the deep. weed checked ditch and out behind rthlck spruce. I awungtoapointwherelguesaed the grouse would be and pulled.

LARGE PLANS

This is what they proposed:

To challenge for the Grey Cup in the 151 playoffs with semi- final competition Four and OR!!! champions: a two-year trial of an interlocking schedule. under which for exam- ple. an 0R.I"U team would play at Montreal and Hamilton and at home against Ottawa and Tomato the first year. then reverse that procedure the second year; and to increase stadium capacities- and the number of high-calibre; American players. The league said it would in- crease stadium capacity to 10.000 in Inndon, Kitchener and Earnin- and the Toronto "club would play its games in 1.000-seat Varsity Stadium. Ways and means of meeting the increased cost of op- eration of a higher-calibre team would he found to boost home town interest.

forms, but they'll have to wait for another year. I hope the grouse continue their upward swing. UNIQUE SPORT

Grouse hunting is a unique sport of its own. It requires time and patience to still hunt them. One walks past at least a half dtnen for everyone he sees or flushes- A friend of mine in Sourla related an i ” that happngi a few years ago. He loves to wander a- long the back country trails. If he bags in grouse well and good ut he never considers the outing wasted. one afternoon. feeling a little leg weary. he sat on a log at the side of a wood road for a rest and smoke. Rather ahsently he gazed at a slump about 20 yards distant and thought how much the knot sticking aboves the stump looked like the head of a grouse. Minutes later he glanced at the slump and noticed the odd look- ing knot had moved a few inches.

Frank is a pretty observant woodsmnn. He didn't see the knot move but he knew it wasn't in the same spot. He quietly picked up his gun and WHAM he had a lovely cock grouse - the one and only bird he saw all afternoon. It could truthful. he said he didn't see this one. There's a lot of luck involv- edinhuntlngthalh merofthe woodlots.

ATTENTION TRAPPER8

Some confusion exists whether or not there is an open season on beaver at present. A year ago (1955t an open season on beaver was fixed and prescribed by the Minister from November 10th to December 31st. This fixed season also supplies to the current year.
