We both tried for a bird, but nothing happened. _ _ When the shots boomed across the marsh, ducks began getting up in one‘s and two‘s and small focks. All of them were on the right side of the boat from me and squirm as I might, I couldn‘t get on one and follow him We stayed in that place for an hour or two and then picked up our decoys. During our stay there, we had noticed that ducks were pouring into a section of the swamp behind us that seemed imâ€" possible to reach. After a great deal of prodding around, we finâ€" ally managed to get back in the general area of where the birds had been swinging in.. â€" ets and be perfectly safe. With the ice melted out of the swamp, we felt that the place we had shot from the previous week might not be too good, so went further into the swamp. This meant shooting directly out of the boat, something that neither one of us had done before this year as we had been jumping ducks from potholes. . We placed our decoys and while we didn‘t expect. a great deal of action, we were unpreâ€" pared for the quiet that descendâ€" ed over all movement of ducks. We knew there were plenty of them in the swamp for we could hear them quacking in almost evâ€" ery direction. Finally, just when Bill was having a cup of coffee, a big black sneaked in on us and I missed him clean. In fact I missed him with both shots for the dog moved just as I was swinging through for the second shot. Our duck hunting trip was a success again this week, although not nearly so much as the previâ€" ous week. For one thing the weaâ€" ther was not dirty enough to move the ducks a great deal and the marsh had melted out so that the birds could get into the thickâ€" ets and be perfectly safe. â€" After a close examination by the guide, he was allowed to reâ€" turn to the log, which he now straddied â€" so he could watch both ways. After all the next sniffer might not be a dog. When relating the story later, Hank under cross examination by his shooting companions claimed he was only ‘sniffed‘ not ‘spiffed‘ there being a definite difference. _Just about the time he had deâ€" cided he liked things as they were without any bears cluttering up the landscape, there came a loud snuffing in his left ear. His dayâ€" dream exploded like a toy balâ€" loon, Hank left the log in high gear, only glancing back when he had reacned what he considâ€" ered a safe distance from the "bear". All he could see was one of the sad looking hounds that had come out of the bush to inâ€" vestigate the queer looking growth on the log. if Hank hadn‘t moved so fast, there‘s no telling what the dog might have thought. was hoiding down a large comâ€" fortable log one day while watchâ€" inga runway. As no deer had manifested an inclination to walk out and be shot, he had fallen to dreaming about how nice it would be if a big bear would walk out where he could get a crack at him. The more he thought about it, the more uncertain he became as to whether he actually wanted to shoot at a bear or not.

Business was not too brisk for the rest of the afternoon, although we did get the odd shot here and there. As we were a long way from the car and in unfamiliar territory, I suggested we get startâ€" ed on our way out not later than 4.30. Justdas we had pulled the decoys and were preparing to leave, a single bl@cg_duck came tearing in through the trees. I have seen teal move that fast, but never a black. Bill was caught with his gun lying on the bottom of the boat and called to me to make the shot. I pushed the muzâ€" zles of the double out in front of that bird until I thought I was crazy and down he came. Tar went out to retrieve him, but was making such heavy going we went out and picked her up. Afâ€" ter considerable looking, Bill spotted the bird floating on its back, as dead as the proverbial less to say the snags and trees didn‘t do the bottom of the boat the least bit of g?od. So wbadly did we bang the paint around that I spent Sunday afternoon putting on enough paint to at least cover up the bare canvass. Eventually we found ourselves in the area of big trees where the ducks had been ’Foutmg in durâ€" ing the morning.
