The current hunting season doesn't
mean anything to deer in the Bluff
ton district which are protected by
law and hunters afield report that
deer instead of being wild appear
mildly curious when encountered in
woodlots.
James Benroth last Wednesday on
the first day of the hunting season
sighted doe on the Harry Marsh
all farm in Orange township. Hunt
er and deer were both surprised
when they met at distance of some
80 feet-and the deer leisurely trot-
ted away farther into the woods.
And speaking of deer hunting, the
Boy Scout motto "Be Prepared g

ton auto dealer will tell you.
With a party of big game hunters
in northern Ontario earlier this
month, Bixel in a boat on lake in
that region drifted around a point
of land coming upon a large buck
gazing intently in the opposite di-
rection.
Across the hunters knees lay
not his gun-but an oar of his boat.
Stealthily attempting to put away
his oar and get the gun at his side
there was a slight noise and the
deer, with one quick look vanished
in the underbrush.
However, one swallow doesn't
make a summer-neither does one
slip spoil hunting trip and fact
is the party returned home with
their share of big game.

SALT LAKE CITY.-Utah's 1850
hunting season had its zany side.
Perhaps the best story involved
Pierre Perry. the former French
boxer who came West to search
for uranium.
He took a day off to go deer
hunting. Pierre lueged his rifle
all day without success. Then he
traded it for a slingshot to hunt
chicken hawk.
That's when a 165-pound buck
appeared. Pierre brought it down
with ball bearing fired from his
sling. A hunting companion, Fred
c. Clemore. sWears this happened.
Or take the case of Richard
Hooper, a 15-year-o old high school
athlete. A large pheasant scared
about nine feet off the ground and
headed for Richard. The lad
leaped, caught the bird by the
neck, and held on. A deputy game
warden witnessed this flying bird
tackle.
Then there was the Utah farmer,
Walt Summers. who wanted to
find out if hunters could tell a
mounted bird from the real thing.
They couldn't. Summers said
SO shots were fired at his stuffed
pheasant.
