The Fairfax County Planning
Commission is awaiting more
data on the tidal wash of Oc-
coquan Creek before acting on
zoning applications of two new
Potomac River marinas.
The proposed p:arinas would
be less than quarter of a
mile from each other below
Mount Vernon.
One Of the application, sub
mitted by the Belmont Bay
Yacht Club. has been under
review for more than a year,
while the other project, pro-
posed by Timberlake S. McCue,
county subdivider, was pre-
sented at the meeting.
The Belmont Bay developers
have promised to build and
dedicate to public use a Is
mile-long road leading to their
site. Engineers estimated it
would cost about $4,000.
The project covers some 20
acres and will handle 300 boats
with provisions for repairs, a
clubhouse and other recrea-
tional features. Their invest
ment, the builders estimate,
will total $750,000.
The yacht club would be To-

ago. Game Warden Fred Brown
says it was the hunters COM
plants that caused the re-
striction to'be removed.
"A deer hunter, perhaps from
out of the State and paying
upwards of $40 for licenses,
has only about one chance in
10 of getting a deer" he said
He also has only about one
in IS at best of killing a turkey.
1t seemed unfair to penalize
him If he came on a turkey
while deer hunting and was
able to kill it with his rifle"
Other hunters apparently are
confused by the prohibition on
Page 4 of the Game Commits
sion's syllabus against use of
rifle for taking migratory
game birds"
A wild turkey, of course, is
not a migratory bird. That's
amply defined on Page 3 of the
syllabus where nonmigratory
birds are listed as grouse,
| pheasant, bobwhite quail and
turkey.

Maryland's deer kill for the

We haven't been referring,
of course, to the lawless ele-
ment which goes around tear

at the hearing complained, or

Enemy of SpOrtsmen
This type of offender is the
enemy of all sportsmen.
Another too frequent COM
plant is the damage to fences
Every quail or rabbit hunter
encounters them and some are
so rusted that it is next tc
impossible to avoid breaking
a couple of strands. Even un-

HUNTING

Extension of the "no-hunt-
ing" boundaries in Fairfax
County was to be expected.
Fairfax is one of the fastest
growing counties in the United
States and. as the subdivisions
spread, the hunting must be
restricted. With that there can
be no quarrel.
At the same time, there was
far too much disturbing test
imony at the hearing held by
the county supervisors about
illegal acts by hunters. If new
and tighter restrictions are
clamped on the sport before
the county's growth makes them
necessary, then they have only
themselves to blame.
Get Permission to Hunt
Foremost is the question OF
hunting on posted land. The
law requires that written per-
mission be obtained from the
property owner. If the land is
not posted, then oral permis-
sion is necessary.
Fairfax has no public hunt
ing areas. All land is privately
owned. Some of these owners
| of large forested tracts live in
distant cities. They are diff
ficult to contact and the temp
tation is great to 60 in and
hunt.
Nevertheless, such contact
| is necessary and if sportsmer
would obey it themselves anc
insist on strict obedience BY

Evening star., 1961-12-08

Frankly, like the bleat of a sick
calf and it started a heifer to
mooing in far pasture.
Probably, it's the actual cry
of lonesome doe or fawn in
distress. Certainly the other
records are realistic enough.
There are the sounds of young
crows, old crows, crows in dis
tress, crows fighting. wild tur-
keys (both hens and gobblers)
and even a squealing rabbit to
attract predators.
The hunt was on a farm
owned by Ed Atkinson of Ar
lington not far from Martins

ELECTRONIC CALLER
Deer Hunting Turns Scientific
By CHARLES COVELL
outdoor Editor

Deer hunting used to be a
herman sport. You puffed up
a mountain ridge to take a
stand in a dawn so cold your
breath dropped in frozen
crystals.
You stood, or sat, immobile
for so long it took Is minutes
to restore enough circulation
to walk once more.
Or maybe you ploughed
through laurel and rhododen-
dron so thick you had to crawl,
shouting at the top of your
lungs not so much to drive
the deer. but to keep someone
in the line of ISLANDERS from
shooting you.
1t was a he-man sport, that
is, until the electronics age
caught up with it. Deer hunt
ing has gone scientific and
how! Take our latest trip to
West Virginia, where the one
week season opened Monday.
Walkie -Talkies a Help
First there were walkie- talk
les so that you could keep in
touch with your hunting COM
panions in the next hollow and
maybe tell them about the
movements of deer.
Walkie -talkies also are use
full in maintaining communi-
cation between groups of
ISLANDERS and drivers. Finally,
as a safety measure, they are
without parallel for a lost hunt
er quickly can be guided out
of strange territory by listen
ing to directions.
All-in-all, I'm for walkie-
talkieS.
Heat Generates Doe Scent
Then there was a clip con-
tanning a sponge which you
saturated with doe scent and
attached to the side of a hand
warmer. The heat, working on
the sponge, waited the heady
aroma to any lovesick bucks
hidden on the high ridge.
And finally, there was this
electronic deer caller. 1t con-
sisted of metal box contain
ing a record player, a loud
speaker connected to the box
by 25 feet of wire and a record.
You picked yourself a stand,
hid the loud speaker in the
brush, set your hand warmer
with the doe scent on the
ground, switched on the record
player. dropped the needle in
the groove and sat back.
Sounds Like Sick Calf
BY this time you were sup
posed to sound like a deer and
smell like a deer. You would
not want, of course, to look
like a deer because that's a
good way to get yourself shot.

HiIIory's Return
With Yeti Scalp

KATMANDU, Nepal, Jan. 4
(AP). - Bad weather today
foiled Sir Edmund Hillary's
attempt to fly a yeti scalp back
to its Himalayan home after
a trip around the world. The
failure left Sir Edmund and
three Sherpas in a tight spot.
A hired helicopter turned
back within 20 minutes flying
time Of Khumjung village near
Mount Everest. Another at
tempt will be made tomorrow
the last day for Sir Edmund
to return the mysterious scalp
to the villagers. who say it
came from a yeti or 'Abomina-
BILE Snowman. "
The villagers reluctantly al
lowed Sir Edmund to borrow
the 200-year-old scalp for one
month to take to Chicago, Lon
don and Paris for scientific
examination. He promised to
help build q village school in
exchange for the loan, and
three of his Sherpa guides who
live near Khumjung pledged
all their property as security
for the scalp's safe return
by January 5.
