Opening day we adapt on much of the gunners who think ducks can be killed if they no close enough to Bee. We hunt- ed our own lake in company with Irwin Babes of Dumbo Ind Herb Clark of Woodstock. Whoops . . we nearly tet he two moot important nem- trersofthewholerartr.o. " least they think so . . . Buckshot, my eight-rear-old son and Tar my Iaarador n- triever. While Herb and W. took a boat and went to hunt the for and of the lake, I took the mall one end the Labrador and burrowed into the eattails right across the lake from the duck. During the early eftemoon only a few birds visited " and‘ I we: beginning to wonder it reports of thonumh of ducks h the vicinity hadn't been 3 little exaggerated.

No sooner had I unloaded.” gun preparitory to pumng out of the hide, when a eourile of black ducks nearly knocked me out of the boat. Half way some. the late. we glanced back end there were about fifty pintsih hov- ering over the couple of de- coys we had out. Before we got back to the hide, there had been enough ducks flrintt around " for me to have killed my limit with o fair amount of use. As so often WIS, we no woner were back behind the decoys again then the birds seemed to find some other port of the lake to their Eng. Finally one did come dong, in range, but a fairly long shot.
