Members of JameSburg Club
Enjoyed Successful trip to
South Jersey Pines

JAMESBURG. Dec. 26:-The
Jamesburg Hunting, Angling and
Protective Association, organized
primarily for the purpose of hunt
ing deer under conditions economi-
cal and with assured success, did not
meet with any disappointment in the
first trip to the pines.
Four deer were bagged, three by
local men, Howard Apologize, the
rural mail carrier, bureau Rhodes
and Frank Rhodes. The other sue
cessful hunter was Peter Schweik-
!. err, the we'll known sporting mar of
d .S~potswood.
The record made by the James
burg hunters was far better than
that Of many other clubs in the same
section of the pines. If the local
hunters had had more experience
they would have had a total of near-
ly a dozen head and the mistakes
made proved valuable material for
planning a trip to the same woods
in the fall of. 1924.
The site of the Jamesburg Hunt
ing club was located five miles in
the pines near Manahaken, near
Barnegat and proved an ideal spot.
"A commodious building of four
rooms was rented by the hunters.
Arriving at the site on December 16
the camp was put in order and plans
made for an early start on the seven
teenth.
Arising at 4:30 Monday morning
breakfast was soon in readiness I'M
e guidance of an expert chef. The
journey for the runs was then in
order. A portion of the thirty men
volunteered to take part in the drive
the first day. Many deer were sight
ed and several shots were taken at
the elusive animals but without sue
cess. The drivers were spread over
an area of a square mile and made
all sorts of unearthly and earthly
noises with good effect. The first
night was spent around camp fires
exchanging stories of events that
happened and some that were only
imaginary which put the hunters in
good condition for the second day
when two deer were taken.
Albert Rhodes has the honor CT
shooting The first deer when shortly
after the first drive was made he
was startled by a young buck run
ming almost pellmell into him but it
turned at the right angle for a good
shot. Howard Apologize, who bag
ged the second one on Tuesday, had
almost the same experience. He was
standing talking to a group of hunt
ers when q fine buck raced almost
on the party before it saw the hui
man foe and turned to meet the un-
erring aim of A~pplegate.
The experience of Monday was the
routine of Wednesday and Friday.
J Two deer were also taken on Thurs
day. bureau Rhodes was the first to
bag a handsome fellow shortly after
nine. The second one of the day
came when Peter Schweickert
brought down one just as the party
was pulling stakes for the day at.
4:30.
The success of the hunters more
than eounter-balanced the failure of
the other club members to secure a
deer. All the members received an
equal share of the venison as the
rules Of the club are that every deer
shot shall be equally divided among
the members. The one shooting the
deer takes the head and skin. Camp
was broken Friday night and the
full equipment arrived home Satur-
day with all enjoying renewed ro-
bust health for the experience of a
week spent WITH nature III llS TOuBn-
est condition. The weather was
ideal and none suffered any ILL
effects.
The cost of the trip was but a
trifle to each member of the club
though the total was considerable.
Each member pays a dollar a month,
which paid for transportation, use of
guides, chef and the y%eats". In all
$500 was spent and this was con-
sidered no tax on the finances of any
when but twelve dollars per capita
was exacted. The list of provisions
