PACE FOUR MANY MORE HUNTERS have made their appearance in north, ern moose cover than usual and while the take of moose fos most parts of the north is down, the take of hunters is way UR How any man in his right mind can kill another human on the pretense of shooting at a moose is completely beyond us. We realize that some men lose control completely when they become excited but taking the life of another person i6 a high price to pay for a moment‘s stupidity.

We found this past weekend that even some shooters cap able of turning in a good score under ordinary circumstance, acted like a bunch of duffers when a great longâ€"tailed pheaâ€" sant caught them unprepared in heavy cover. A lot of people think that because the pheasant is a large bird, he is a cinch to hit. â€" Peculiarly enough the size and great streamer ol a tail seem to have just the reâ€" verse affect and men who ean knock down woodcock and snipe without batting and eye, miss the big gaudy birds as though they were the size of humming birds. One of the nicest shots we have seen mhade so far was by Lorne Peffer of Peffer Sound Systems. Lorne and I were standing on one of the bush roads deep in the property when a big cock bird got up behind us. He towered over our heads, a dirty backâ€"wrenâ€" ching shot. I was on the bird and just about to pull the trigger when he folded like a wet rag. I don‘t know whether Lorne got the gun to his shoulder or not, but if he did, He‘s faster than I am. It‘s shots like these that make conversation â€" when . you get back to the lodge again, al though some of those you miss, make for the birth of a lot of new cuss words.
