c6 tribune november 16 1988 now available deer season sparks memories 3s29s9 by art briggs jude its hard to believe the deer season is here again would you believe a whole year has passed since the frosty leaves felt your crunching feet as you headed out to an early morning stand to many of us the annual hunt for this most sought after big game species is as traditional as tapping the trees for the maple sap and like the roots of the giant sugar maple the origin of this autumn pastime is deeply embedded in the groundwork of this countrys development i think its important to know these things and to remember them in this often artificial world in which we live many people to day are caught up in some sort of overprotectionist sphere a wellmeaning but misinform ed segment of the populace

family tree often reveals their grandfathers uncles and yes even their own fathers were not really such bad ogres despite the fact they an nually went afield with a gun leaving such serious thoughts behind its off to the woods to follow in the steps of woodsmen that have gone before to listen to the pine boughs nudged by a scented breeze to watch the ear ly sun clear the rise of silhouetted trees and hear the red squirrel scold you from the safety of a favorite limb there you sniff the cleanest air you ever breathed and feel the expectancy that only a snapping twig can bring theres plenty of time for thinking in this waiting whitetail game most of us who have rack ed up more hunts than racks in variably reminisce at some mo ment about that very first buck that past segment in time when all the previous pieces of the fantasy picture came together and the buck was there only you can tell how you managed to squeeze off that all- important first shot with instant results though ive taken my share since that first buck was by far my biggest deer standing along the shores of a haliburton lake that huge hard wood buck with the heavy 12point spread looked for all the world to me like a woodland elk though well never know how much it actually weighed we knew it was something special when six of us couldnt drag it out it was 1946 and we all chipped in 2 apiece to hire a rock farmer to haul that deer the two miles to our camp on a stone boat that however is the storys end the tale really began several hours beforehand after watching a rugged hard wood ridge behind the north shore of blue hawk lake until early afternoon four of our group decided to move closer to camp as we skirted the lakeshore with me lagging behind i heard a hound bark somewhere across the lake i left the trail and made my way through some bordering cedars to the edge of the water it was then that i noticed a light- colored hound moving back and forth on the far shore a mile or so distant my curiosity was soon reward ed when i saw the object of the hounds pursuit a buck deer was swimming across the lake the hound refused to follow quickly fading into one of the cedars i regained the trail and ran to tell the others as they had moved some distance it took more time than i anticipated to tell them what was happening and to place them in position to intercept the buqk as a result by the time i reach ed my original sighting spot the deer was moving right into the pebbly shoreline of a nearby point as he stepped out on that driftwood beach my shaking arms somehow steadied momen tarily and my old lee 303 dropped him with a single shot to the neck not a good place to aim for i learned later the checking station at norland gave us the information that the deer was more than seven years old and probably weighed more than 300 lbs to me he looked heavier than that but then again it was my first buck of course as you know shot deer are like caught fish they just seem to keep
