exciting trip to Hollywood where

Joseph Withers, a Federal
Fish and Wildlife agent, takes
a dim view of Gov. McKeldin's
suggestion that the duck sea-
son be extended from the pres
ent January Is closing date to
January 20.
McKeldin wrote to Interior
Secretary Seaton urging the
extension because, he said. only
now is the wildlife migrating to
our Southern areas in album
dance.
The Governor also said the
past season had been the poor
est in Maryland in many years.
Withers said the reason the
hunting now ends in mid-Jan-
uary is because the ducks are
entering the mating season and
the Northern migration is be-
ginning in some areas. To ex-
tend the season would disrupt
this whole plan of nature,
Withers added.
The wildlife agent said illegal
hunting practices were largely
to blame for the poor hunting.
The past season was a big one
in arrests of hunters shooting
over baited blinds.

kill it quickly to avoid being

habit which persists. Grimmer
said a zoo raccoon never washes
corn, raw or cooked, but always
win dunk a lump of sugar.
Take Three 'COOns
Spot and Blackie ranged well
ahead on our coon hunt,
while Sally stayed close at
hand. AS we worked our
way carefully through the
trees and brush that lined the
creek bank, Bost told of two
successful hunts. On the night
before they had taken one
coon and on the night before
that, two 'coonS.
The moon was waning but
the light it shed was sur
prising. Most of the time we
could Chamber over obstacles
without use of flashlights.
The coon they had killed the
night before was freed in a
tall ash whose branches hung
over the water. Bost shot it
with a 30 pistol, the only weap-
on in the party. and the coon
dropped into the water and
headed for the opposite bank.
Sally dived in and brought it
back.
OF the two killed the pre-
ceding night, one had taken
refuge in a hollow tree and
Quinn had to climb it to shoot
the raccoon. The other was
freed in a willow and shot from
a branch into the creek. 1t was
retrieved by the dogs.
RaccOOn Will Charge Dogs
Often a wounded raccoon
will charge down a tree and
attack the dogs. Quinn recalls
breaking a 5-cell fiashlight over
a raccoon's head to save the
hounds. On another occasion,
Bost had to kill a raccoon with
a brick.
Our hunt was unproductive,
although we tramped miles
along the creek, through ad-
joining fields and up forested
hillsides.
On two occasions. the hounds
gave vent to excited baying but
Bost said only 'possums had
been freed. THE hounds really
let go when they tree a COON"
he said. Man, that's real
music"
Next day Sally gave birth to
eight fine pups. Only two of
these have been claimed and
Bost is Offering the other six
free to the first callers.
With the coon season over
he'll have to restrict himself to
swapping yarns at the meetings
Of the Fairfax Coon and Bea-
gle Club the second Monday of

The loot was eaten without

Bost says he believes 'coons
