THE FLESHERTON- ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 30. 1931 ' | \ . .' :: i - > : : : ' . v A Dock of A Time ' Very few ducks are being captured at the hydro pond this fall. Whether it is because the hunters are poor shots or because the ducks are noi there is a question. The other day a crack shot, resident of Flesherton, was out at the pond with friends and spied some ducks a half mile away. He crept carefully around the shore until he was opposite the game, then fired at the nearest one. The bird apparently dove, then came up facing the hunter. Again the gun spat fire and again the bird dove and came up. Then a real fusilade began. Hi; gun was emptied and reloaded and emp- tied again., and the duck kept bobbing around. It was about this time that visions of roast duck began to dis- solve and a suspicion that he was trying to kill some decoys set out by other hunters! This hunter may be a good Fisherman and hunter but he can't kill wooden ducks. Although he is a good sport he is not saying much about this episode not that you would notice. He claims that wood- en ducks Bob around too much when yon hit 'em.
