For those who cry out against killing the poor little ducks, let us point out that few if any wild animal or bird dies a nice comfortable naâ€" tural death. If man does not harâ€" vest them humanely with a fireâ€" arm, then they are usually eaten alive by vermin of one type or another. Something should be done about the number of wounded pirds. Most of these are the diâ€" rect result of greenhorn shooters who do so little hunting they are incapable of correctly estimating range, or by game hogs who fire at anything rather than let the next hunter have a chance. In the U.S., the government has now set aside certain areas where ducks and geese may be shot by a limited number of hubters durâ€" ing the open season. A special permit is required to hunt in these areas and fees for the perâ€" mits are used to protect and proâ€" duce more ducks. So that no one or two men may get more than their share of this hunting, a reâ€" gistry book is kept at the point of entry and every hunter must sign before he is given a permit hunt. It sounds like a fair amount of trouble and expense to go to over a few ducks, but probably if the value of these ducks were estimâ€" ated, they would cost the average hunter about five dollars per pound. This money is now divertâ€" ed into a number of hands but little or none of it finds its way back to the job of obtaining more ducks. The Luther Marsh is :)om. to ?Ae a probiem in time come. he heavy concentration of miâ€" finl.nry birds is bound to attract unters from all over. Eventually ermmeg berregs ans thare wih e w be petitions to make the marsh a game reserve. Nothing would be more foolish. If the marsh were to be made into a game reserve, it would be a full time job for at least one warden to patrol and keep out the poschers. Also, there is no reason why Canadian hunters should be forced to do without sho:w just so the birds which are rai here in this country can be protected here, only to be taken bti Ameriâ€" can hunters the minute they cross into the United States. The Luther Marsh is a mighty attraction not only to ducks but What could be tried would be to make a small part of the marsh into a game refuge where the oirds when harried too much could find safety. There would be a normal movement every day in and out of the protected a_;â€"e; so that a g:rcenme of these birds could be harvested.

I'N'Cfll * FOWL SHOOT Waterloo Rod and (Watch for signs starting at North St.) Shotguns and Rifles If you haven‘t a boy of your own, your neighbor likely has, or m%be it‘s his neighbor. e instinct to hunt and kill game is probably born in every boy. Some of them have the gg- portunity to develop it to e point where it becomes one of the greatest events in their life. Othâ€" ers are curtailed and frustrated by indifferent or gunâ€"hating parâ€" ents. Buckshot, my fiveâ€"yearâ€"old, has already learned to a.fplaud vigorously when the oid man makes a good shot.

Even now he is not ntove adding an extra bird to my total or inch to my fish when telling about it. Take a boy hunting this fall if you want to get the biggest kick out of anything you ever did in your life and come home feeling you are really an important guy after all. I realize he i learn. He‘s Even now he for?"I asked. "Well, I‘ll tell you," he grinned, "When Tar put that duck up, he came sailing up the swamp right straight at me. I figured he was probably out of range for you and I just took lots of time to make sure of him. I was just pulling the trigger when you killed him and he dropped out from in front of my gun so fast, I couldn‘t release the trigger fast enough." I just grinned too, I felt pretty good about that shot. One local man lost his expenâ€" sive trap gun last Saturday. He was busy shootini at ducks from the middle of the highway. Calling Tar, I went around the end of the swamp so she could fetch the bird for me and ran smack into Bill I had thought that he was still across on the other side of the pot hole. He was carrying another big mallard hen. He showed me where he had ejected the empty shell and to where he had slapped that duck down was too darn far to even estimate the distance, and be beâ€" lieved. "If these pot holes stay as dry as they are now, we are going to have to do some prospecting," Bill said. Maybe next weekâ€"end we will be prospecting instead of huntâ€" ing, but you can bet it will be a shotgun slung over our shoulder, not a pick and shovel. Hunters are again warned that they are not allowed to discharge a gun from the road or road alâ€" lowance. to hunters.

Then came the startied quack of a duck and a big black heaved himself out of the swamp . Because of the heavy] growth of tag elders, I couldn‘t) see the duck until it was nearly | out of gun range.

Admission: Adults 50+ HILL CLIMB IT‘s MHERE AGAIN:! Canadian Chaompionship Motorcycle Sponsored by the Mapilec Leaf Riders Motorcycle Club Sanctioned by the Canadian Motorcycle Association FREE PARKING AT HILL REFRESHMENTS Held at Children 25+ Several of our Club members went duck hunting last Saturday, that being the opening day and to date I have had no reports of any of them meeting with much sucâ€" cess. I guess the ducks ducked or may be that was just a wise "quack". Talking about duck hunting, our friend George (Danâ€" iel Boone) Coyne launched his new green duck boat Saturday and from all reports it‘s quite a boat. It is capable of holding two people, especially if one weighs less than 25 lbs. Quite a few new faces were seen out at the property of late. Fellows who have kept their proâ€" mise and who, a year ago, said they would be around to give us a hand whenever we started buildâ€" ing. To name all the members who were out wielding hammers, driving spikes, sawing wood and putting on roofing would take up a lot of space, so we will skip some of the old reliables and menâ€" tion fellows such as "Firstâ€"rateâ€" carpenter" Teddy Neil, Leander Strauss and Junior _ Strauss, Charles Moogk, Frank Moogk and his son David, Earl Lacy, Herbie Hare, Ray Woelfie, Ab. Schmidt, Leo Weber, Len (Stove & Appliâ€" ance) Snyder, and Ed (Plasterâ€" cast) Lichty. There were several others, but you have a good idea who they were, so I guess there is no need to mention them this week. Frank Moo:k was the master carpenter and supervised operaâ€" tions ,ably assisted by his father Charlie Moogk. In case any of you fellows are in doubt as to the ability of some of our Club memâ€" bers when it comes down to carâ€" penter work, come out and see for yourselves. I‘ll bet you will be surprised. I might say that even I drove a few nails, includâ€" ing one of my own and it still hurts!! The response to the call for heip to building the temporary Club House has been real heartening, so much so that the job has been almost completed. In fact, it should be completed by the time you fellows read this paper. Please note: The next general Club Meeting will be held on Monday, October 19, at the Leâ€" gion Rall, Waterloo. This is one week later than usual, due to the fact that Thanksgiving Day is on October 12th. Famed the knowledge. I am now ree to marvel at it again. The same goes for the pump at the well on my brother‘s farm. 1 think I could describe the workâ€" ing of thephysical law that brings the iceâ€"cold water out of the spout on a hot August day, but I would rather dwell on the miracle of the satisfaction that I get out of a swig of water from that well.
