to game birds and their eggs.
Thousands of pheasant, duck,
and grouse casualties may be
attributed each year to the &C
tivitieS of these marauding
predatorS.
Organized crow hunts in GER
tain eastern states have pro-
duced commendable results,
with hundreds, and, in some
cases, thousands of the black
bandits "bitin~ the dust"
The crow is an ultra-wary
bird and getting close enough
to him for a shotgun blast calls
for skill on the part of the
hunter. Accessories found useful
in Pennsylvania are crow calls
and captive great horned owls
or crows as decoys. Calls which
initiate the cry of young crows
in distress bring the full
grown adults within range, thus
providing good wing shooting
for the Scatter-gun artists.
Smaller bounties are offered
those successful hunters who
would bother to claim them.
Many sportsmen groups offer
five cents per pair for either
crow or magpie legs. The Fish
and Game department matches
this, thus making a total boun-
ty of 10 cents per pair. It has
been noted in years past that

Offers Sport
As Well as Profit

There are some sportsmen in
Montana who just do not care
to take rod in hand and pit
their skill against the water
creatures which abound in local
streams and lakes. Their pref
erence is shooting, and they
look upon the summer months
as mere lulls before the legal
fall hunting seasons.
For these men and women,
the Montana Fish and Game
department. has a suggestion
which will occupy their time,
and to good advantage.
Shotgun and small caliber
rifle enthusiasts can find con-
StructiVe sport in crow, maybe,
domestic cats running wild, and
gopher hunts. It has been noted
in some parts Of the state that
the numbers of these pests
have increased with alarming
speed, and with such an in
crease comes mounting danger

Farmers Aided in
Crawling of
Highway No. At

The unoiled portion highway
No. AZ. between Hardin and
Custer, has had little attention
S1nnce the road was gravel
surfaced about Is years ago, ac-
cording to old timers of this
area.
Announcement was recently
made that the road has been
placed on schedule for some
Wokr this year, by the state
highway commission.
Some Is years ago a few farm
ers and ranchers living on
the highway became tired of
the muddy roads and met with
the Big Horn county commits
SlonerS and presented their
problem.
Due to the fact the county
is large and two-thirds of the
land is Indian-owned and I'M
taxable the commissioners
could not apportion funds for
the entire job of crawling, but
agreed to take responsibility
for crawling of the 20 miles of
road to the county line if the
farmers would raise $4,000 to
help with the project.
Through cooperation of the
farmers and the business men
of Hardin the $4,000 was more
than subscribed and the gray
cling work was done.
The rancherS also had con-
tacted the Yellowstone county
commissioners and secured their
promise to gravel the eight
miles in Yellowstone county if
Big Horn county did their
share, which promise was kept.
Before the war, the road was
making good progress although
it had had some various class
~ificationS. It was finally CLASH
fled as a state primary road
and what was originally built was
rebuilt under this classification.
Later there were two other
stretches of about five miles
each added to the original two
and a half miles. It was in the
program for additional stretches
to be added as was practical
until the road was completed.
When the war came the
program was changed and the
project has not been included
in the present road program.
Through the efforts of the
Big Horn County Chamber of
Commerce, a delegation of Big
Horn county residents recently
called on Governor Bonner in
regard to the road and the
governor stated that highway
No. Al was one of two primary
roads in the state which would
receive immediate considera-
ton.

not many persons claim them,
although both organizations
and the department are more
than happy to pay for such
predator elimination.
The crow and the maybe
have often been termed the
"canniest" of all birds, the re-
lease states. Those who have
sought to hunt them will vouch
for the difficulties encountered
in getting within rifle range, let
alone shotgun range.
Those who declaim them
selves to be Dead Eye Dicks
will have more than a match
on their hands when they cope
with these two. But, when they
bag them, they will have a dual
satisfaction in knowing that
they have outwitted natures
widest, and that they have rid
