The attendants at our favorite ser vice station smile as we drive by on the way to the woods for an other hunt. We've gone too far to give up now. It just wouldn't make good economic sense to quit when we're so far behind. Of course, if one wants to be really techni cal, the economics of deer hunt ing really do not make sense for the majority of hunters. Huntoing is great sport, though. Yes, sir. There's nothing quite like plowing through muddy roads with a late model passen ger car. The sound of rocks flat tening bolts and tearing loose the whole underside of the car is matched only by the jingle of Ihe garage cash register when the season is finished along with the budget. Too Much Rain Many of the best hunting spots are innaccessible with a passen ger car now because of unusually heavy fall rains. A car load of eager hunters searched the valley the other day for a place to hunt and finally ended up a few reds from town after several disheartening trios at travelling slick and muddy mountain roads. The hunting was probably just as good near town, anyway, and one member of the party spotted a big buck the hunter didn't have a gun. The fellow he was hunting with (he didn't see the bucfc) handed the other fellow his gun. Then the spotter, who EASTERN OREGON vs. Wenatchee Jaycee TONITE!

In fact, it's a won der they didn't shoot each other. The last we saw of them they were tramping back down the hill muttering about how foul the hunting was. They really ought to Invest in another gun. Waved His Hat Then there was the fellow standing in a clearing waving a yellow hat. He was just standing there waving it and for the life of us we just couldn't figure out why. So we walked over and ask ed him. He seemed startled at tirst. "Didn't know there was any one else around," he said. "Oh, there are several of us running around the hill here," we replied. "Do you have permission to hunt here." was the rejoinder from our yellow hat waving friend. "Well, we have permission to hunt on land a few fences back, but I'm not just sure where we are now.-' Was Only Lost "Then you're lost, too?", said yellow hat. "No, just hunting. Incidcntly. why are you waving your hat? Is it some sort of trick to arouse the deer's curiosity?" "Why do you think I'm waving my hat? I'm lost." "Oh, I see. Well, good luck."; Saw that fellow walking down the road later in the day. He had quit waving his hat. He smiled when we drove by. He seemed to be enjoying his hunt ing. Next year we're going to buy a yellow hat. too. Game Time 8 P.M.
