after, when I was in little town in

He asked me what was in the pack

"'What kind Of merchandise? he

"TUMP AND SHOOT SPORT"
Quick Action Necessary in Hunting
Ducks Along the Creeks
of the south.

The man who likes duck shooting
and exercise and hates to spend his
time squatted in a blind waiting 1or
the birds to come in to the decoys may
have fine sport in the winter days IN
the uplands of the southern pine
woods. Through all Of these WOODS
run sinuous creeks Of clear rapid wa
ter that has yet a wealth OF green
duckweed near the banks.
The vast majority of ducks In their
winter homes are to be found In the
ponds, sloughs and bayous OF the low
lands, but some are always to be found
in the hills, going there for duckweeo,
which has better flavor when grown
in clear moving water, and for acorns,
beech nuts and such things.
The gunner who makes success OF
creek hunting must be quick and ac-
curate shot The birds are killed gem
orally within 20 PAGES and there is
never much time allowed, says the
New York Sun.
These creeks have high banks and
the ducks feed next to them. A man
stealing along the bank, making his
way through brush and between the
trees, holds his gun in readiness.
Because the stream bends often,
twice or thrice in hundred yards, he
cannot see for any distance up or down
it, and the ducks cannot see, either
So it happens often that he walks
right on top of brace of feeding NAL
lards, or blue bills, before they have
any notion of his presence.
They get up then, springing straight
and high, and go away at bullet rate.
The stream curves and the trees grow
closely, and he must take his chances
on making a snap shot. Nothing is
prettier than the fall Of big duck
hit SO, and the gunner has the satisfac-
ton of knowing that he has done
really artistic bit of work.
There is much walking in it, because
when the gun goes off every duck feed
ing within quarter of mile will rise
and go elsewhere. They follow the
stream, however, and will be found
sooner or later.
a man stealing along this way, con.
stantly on the alert, has all of the
southern forest sounds and scents
around him and is buried thousand
miles deep from all knowledge of civ
ilization. There may be houses within
an hours walk of him, but he will never
know of them and he will meet no hui
man being except brother hunter.
This sort of duck shooting is very
excellen. practice and differs utterly
from blind gunnery. where one sees
the birds coming from afar and has
time to calculate their speed and dis.
lance before pressing the trigger.
Along the pinewood creeks it is jump.
and-shoot, matter Of not more than
two seconds on long shots and the
raising ard swinging of the gun are
wholly mechanical, or instructive.
A bag of half a dozen is plenty for
this sport, and it is a very successful
tramp which produces a dozen ducks
OF differing varieties, but mostly of
mallards or squealers. Any duck killed
in this way is worth five shot when
poised above the decoys, a stationary
target in air, and the work stretches
the muscles and opens the lungs.
