and Just as boastful if the con-
ditions are favorable. The cold
weather during the early part of
last week froze the Susquehanna
Flats in two days time, and most
of the waterfowl barreled out of
there through necessity. How
ever. we have an idea the freeze
up was of short duration. Usu-
ally when the Flats as they are
referred to, automatically be-
comes better along the Atlantic
fiyway further south, and espe-
cially if stormy weather accom-
panies the freeze. This, of course,
did not pertain to the situation
in this instance.
Back in 1850. what is known
as The Uniform Hunter Casu-
atty Reporting Form was de-
veloped by interested conserva-
ton groups to answer a long felt
need for specific information
about hunting casualties caused
by firearms. While some States
still do not use this form, the
casualties compiled from reports
turned in by states which do and
published by the National Rifle
Association, reveal certain pat
terms of what the life insurace
companies call accident-prone
groups, and are most interesting.
A few more years of averages
will focus the picture still clear
er. However. let us say here that
the hours between 10 am. and 4
pm. are when most accidents
occur; So per cent of all acci-
dents were caused by intentional
discharge of a weapon: the
greatest percentage of accidents
were caused by shooters under
19 years of age; the greatest
percentage of accidents were also
by those with from 3 to 10 years
