A well-known young nimrod of Goderich, Ont., went out hunt- ing ducks and came to a field where there was a gpod sized" flock of them. However, the .ducks, were settled in an open' field with no covering by which the -hunter could get close enought for a shot. The wily chap then resorted to strategy and his knowledge of wild life. Knowing the ducks unafraid of .~f cattle, he corraled two calves in the field, some distance away from the birds, and plac- ing an arm about the neck of each, led them close to the ducks. Thus hidden he was able to get within close range of the game and he arrived-back in Goderich With three ducks, Ld ww CG N.
