DESPITE ON RUSHING cold weather, the doughty little Woodâ€" cock who eats only earthworms, is still with us. Usually, and this applies to most Woodcock, their migâ€" ration is well ahead of any frost. If they wait ‘till the ground freezes, then they go hungry. The reason is simple. Equipped as they are with a long pliable bill, t.bey _can prope for_ earth worms only as long as the ground is soft and free of frost. The end of their bill is flexible and allows them to probe down into the ground and fasten on the worm by opening and of course closing only the end of the bill. In this respect they differ eonsiderably from the robin who must wait until the earth worm comes to the surface on at least close to it.

Only reaâ€" son I discovered this peculiar talent ~was that I walked up behind a pointer last year for the first time on Woodcock, only to discover the little brown bomber legging it out of there fast enough to give a pheasant a good run of it. The same thing happened many times that day, so I guess his sprinting â€" abilities are true enough. THIS WEEK‘S COLD SNAP and snow should shift some of the reiuctant northern ducks down into this part of the province. Snow has been pretty genâ€" erally throughout the country, falling from the bit we had here, up to about 18â€"inches further north. Seems to us that ducks are getting more and more relucâ€" tant to migrate each fall. Maybe the modern trend is catching up to them and like modern people, they hate to exert themselves.

Hunting with me at my Game Preserve was one of my first member#, Clare Heim, president of Alchem Ltd. in Burlington. Clare is one of those people you like to be out with on a hunt. He can walk all day without getting too tired, he loves every aspect of the outâ€" doors and if the going gets tough and the birds hard to get a shot at, he doesn‘t care because he is having a good time just being outdoors. We hunted the field near the Chalet without rising a single pheasant. This is a favourite spot for them to feed, but they don‘t stay in it much during the daytime. Even walking the woods road we failed to put up a bird although we knew there were a number in the thick brush alongside of it. We had only gone a short distance into the second field when Sage, my labrador â€"definitely indicated Sunday November 13th 1:30 P.M.

I bounced the big fellow along the ground with the first shot from the little twentyâ€"gause. Sage trotted back with the bird in her mouth. We â€" travelled only about twenty yards when the lab. again indicated she had bird scent in her nostrils The dog followed the bird for at least a couple of hundred yarcs. Clare didn‘t know the doz and was a good fifty to sixty yards away when the bird took off. He tried, but I don‘t think the shot ever caught up. _ For the next couple of hours, we couldn‘t get a bird to move in the fields at all and decidâ€" ed fit‘liey must have taken to the bush to get out of the wind. s ‘This bush and swamp on my place would try the patience of the devil himself.
