TURKEY SHOOTS
WILL BE HELD
BY RIFLE CLUBS
Series of Meetings to Hold
Interest of Gun Fans
in State.
BY LEFTY LEE
Times Hunting Editor

The marksmen Of the state have
q number Of turkey shoots sched-
aled for the weekend. These shoots
are proving more popular each year,
the increased number Of entrants
making all-day meets possible. One
shoot Of this kind Of interest to the
marksmen Of this locality is the
sixth annual al-day indoor shoot
Of the Danville Rifle Club at the
club range in the basement Of the
courthouse Saturday. Rifles and
ammunition will be furnished, If de-
sired. Non-club members will not
compete with club members.
The Wabash and White river
fishermen are taking some fine
strings Of wall eye pike, the reports
of catches in the Wabash coming
from the northern part of the state,
while the Williams dam vicinity,
south, is the productive spot IN
White river.
The Christmas shopper who has
q fisherman in the family will do
well to look at some of the offer
ings in the local sporting goods
stores that would be sure to please
any angler. The Vending Bait
Company has a novel Christmas
card with a dual spinner and three
flies attached, that would be sure
to make a hit.
Anotoher offering, a real present
for the fly fisherman, is the Ken
nedy noncorrosive fly fishing tackle
box, one of the most compact and
serviceabIe kits we ever have seen.
The box is composed Of an alloy
of steel, finished in triple baked
enameI and cork lined.
Anglers who have passed up the
Heddon rod because of the fact that
the handle is solid black will be
pleased to learn that future orders
for this popular rod can be made
according to the buyers speciflca-
lions. A letter from Charles He'd
don states that the eastern market
has been partial to the black han
die, but that his company will be
glad to supply any color desired.
When that covey Of quail is
flushed be sure and withhold your
fire for the season is closed. Many
hunters who have been guilty Of
shooting birds out of season in the
past have declared that they would
not have been guilty of this poor
craftsmanship if they had not
fired on the spur of the moment.
Jess Montague is an ardent fish
ernlan who loves to play for the
musky up in Wisconsin. Each year
this angler travels to Wisconsin
to get in few weeks sport trying
for the king Of the fresh water bat
tiers. Pictures taken on these
trips prove that he knows where
to 60 to get what he wants.
Many requests regarding the
open season on quail duck, rabbit,
etc, have been received by the
writer. This column will publish
a complete schedule that will ap-
pear in Mondays issue of The
Times.
The crappie that one writes home
about now are hitting fine at Sha-
fer lake, reports from Franks lodge
telling of some limit strings being
taken.
A flock of hunters from the Smith
& Moore Co. tell about some nice
bags of rabbits and quail they have
taken, but Lefty will remain open
minded, remembering the story told
him by these boys about a five and
one-half pound small mouth bass
they were said to have caught one
day last summer.
That Mathews linn feud at the
Bell Telephone Company has died
down now, but the smoldering en-
bers remain as the boys could not
seem to settle things definitely on
their trip into Canada.
Charlie Ridden has a thankleSs
task trying to keep a check on the
different rifle clubs. The local club
is, of course, up to date. The teams
around the state are lax in turning
in their results.
