The wind that comes out of the
.oqth and howls dismally through the
tops of the tees, bringing with it the
first Fall rain, is roundly cursed by lots
. of people. But what does it moan to
a sportsman?

He has waited for days and days
for just such a wind and rain.
It

I that the first flight of ducks will soon
; be on the wing and it will not be many
days until be (the sportsman) will be
[crouching in a blind with a flock of
birds circling his decoys.
So white some people are dis
gruntled at the storm, the heart of the
duck hunter is gladdened.
And oh, the joy of preparing for
the opening day! Again the familiar
feel of the old shotgun, the restocking
of the shell vest.
/ Got there in his kennel, your old pal,
the huntin’ dog, «tenses the change of
the elements and a new light shines
in his eyes as you give him his even
ing meal and tell him to be ready for
the big hunt soon to come.
You never forget that first morning
of the opening season—shouldering
the old gyn again after all those long
months of waiting.
As you wend your way marshward
you. are wondering if the birds will
fly over tl)e same old pass and will the
younger birds decoy in the same man
ner they did the part winter.
At last you are in your blind; the
decoys are struhg out' before you in
'the^ semi-light of approaching dawn
and you wait with every nerve strain
ed, eyes seeking to' penetrate the baf
fling gloom, Oars alert to catch once
again thatugld familiar whirr of whist
ling wings.

Off to your left comes the sound you

on your gun ahead, raise it to your
shoulder and pull down on the ap
proaching birds.

wait for just this particular moment.
Forgotten is everything but the flock
of white-breasted birds now within
range.

4 Geese A Day the Limit
Contrary to the synopsis of the 1930
hunting laws, recently sent to sports-
■non, that eight geese and 30 in seven
consecutive days are permitted, Ar
thur M. Fish, law enforcement officer,
calls deputy game wardens’ attention
to the federal law which permits but
four geese in any one day and IS in
seven consecutive days. The federal
law prevails and hunters are warned
to disregard the state figures and ob
serve the federal.
Mr. Fish also writes the deputies as
'»Uows in, regard to seisurw of guns,
tame or unlawful device«, from hunt-
jrsl and fishermen:
“In all cases, where It is deemed ad-
■isable by arresting officer to eonfis-
ate 'game, guns, or other implemonta
ised in violation of the game laws,
ou are instructed to elosely follow
lection of law in Section 25, Page 29,
f Game Code, by asking for, and hav-
ng it made a part of, cdurt order con-
1 seating such property at time of
massing sentence on defendant from
vhom property has been seised. It is
'ecmed advisable for the Warden to
tr range for local disposition of all
>?rish*ble game by giving same to
county poor farms, charitable institu
ions or recognized needy families lo-
■ally. However, in so disputing of
'onfiscated game, or any game whero-
n no arrests are made, you are in-
‘ructed to take receipt in duplicate
for same.”

Mr. and Mm. Volney Huntley, of

yesterday and called at the Sentinel

have shipped many to Europe, be

With the growing scarcity of wild

they have started to grow mink
