OUTDOORS Duck Hunting Season Opens Next Weekend By BILL OWENS Times Outdoor Writer The black of night was turning to » dirty grey as the tWe tummies passes SoS. SHS their decoys. Their labrador retriever splashed around, at the decoys in quivering excitement. As the trees began to take distinct shape, the dog tensed forward. The hunter hissed a warning to his of mallards winged their way over the ide of the decoys and the hunter gave calls on his caller. As the birds came in on s, a volley of shots rang out over the pond, ducks in every direction. The two hunters shot as they glumly watched the ducks fly ahh i i E ee : 2F : Mi dreds of ters will experience such predicaments next weekend when they hie forth in search of the tasty duck. They will observe the unsportsmanlike behavior of other hunters who are intent only on getting away shots at game without any thought of whether it is in range, closer for others to shoot at and if in numbers to warrant shooting at birds without spoiling their chances for later shooting. INASMUCH AS most local shooting will take place for puddle ducks let us examine for a moment the best means for having a good day of sport. Most experienced duck hunters agree that it is folly to, shoot at flocks of ducks containing more than eight birds. To do so will scare away the whole flock, whereas if you let the flock split up and come back in singles and pairs, sustained form of shooting. : In shooting a man-made pond or a beaver pond it is wise not to clutter up the place with a lot of hunters, Here , experience shows that two hunters to a blind, three or four blinds per twelve or fifteen acres of is about right. decoys are not an essential, they do help to bring cks providing they are set out in a one long-sided with a pair just inside the apex of the set. A duck is good, but here again a poor caller might better leave his call at home. Another good point to remember that ducks molt during the summer, and.drakes at this time of the season looks as drab as their mates so that gaudy, coloured male mallard decoys will not be as good as a stool of all females. Remember that ducks land into the wind, so set your decoys with this in mind. H g RETRIEVERS ARE a great asset, for they will almost always bring in all birds that are shot. In many cases, In the matter of guns there is great controversy. There are those who will not shoot anything but a full choke gun, but in the case of puddle duck shooting on ponds, a modified choke will be sufficient. Shot shells in sizes four or five create the best shocking power as com- pared to sixes and smaller. It matters little if you shoot @ingle tube guns or double barrelled weapons. As long as the gun fits the shooter he may expect a good per- formance if he is any shot at all. Remember, however, that autoloaders and pump guns must be permanently altered so that they are incapable of holding more than ned shells . . . two in the magazine and one in the =o a@ at wine MOST GUNNENS ate aware Of tie Killiag range of the modern shot shell, The twelvs geuse gun is the most widely used, and shells of long range loads will kill efficiently at forty vards. But what is forty yards? If you ask this question among ten hunters. vou wiii get ien ...¢nt answe marker set out in front of your hiding place wii give an accurate gauge for distance. Wf your duck looks as big as your decoy, he is in range. In shooting at any flying object you must lead it in order that your shot and object meet for a hit, There are many factors that influence the lead you take on a flying bird, so that a table of leads and distances is of no practical value. The best method is to pick up your bird in the sight line, swing ahead of the bird to compensate for his flying speed, consider what you think is the most lead for your swing. Remember, it is better to give too much lead than not enough; too much lead may kill your pe with the long shot column that is provided by a shot shell. BLINDS SHOULD do at least three things. Blend with the surroundings and look natural, provide freedom for shooting and conceal the hunter or hunters. There are many ways and materials for building a blind, but if you keep the three above points in mind you will find it none pita Your clothes must blend with your blind material. REMEMBER TO BE A good hunter, don't spoil another shooter's chances by shooting at ducks coming in to him rather than you; your turn may come later. Don't set your blind too close to another man's blind: Don't pick up ducks until the flight is over, unless a crippled bird is getting away. Get to your shooting area early, thus making chances for you and other shooters the best. Obey the game laws . . . they are made for good hunting. Get permission to trespass over private property. If you do all gg things you may well call the shots for a full game bag. HERE AND THERE...

Now they're doing it again. Just one week ago the Dodg- ers were tied for second with San Francisco, each 144 games behind the Pirates. Since then Los Angeles has won all seven of its games-- the winning streak is eight over-all--while Pittsburgh has dropped four of five and the Giants four of seven.

Koufax extended his con- secutive scoreless inning streak to 21 before Gene Alley drove home a Pirate run in the sev- enth with a sacrifice fly. Willie Mays' run - scoring sin- gle sent the Giants ahead 3-2 in the eighth, but the Mets rallied for three runs after two were out in the ninth. But Harrelson drove in the second run of the outburst with his second triple of the game, then stole home for the eventual winning run. Rookie Pat Jarvis won his fifth straight game, pitching a four-hitter against Cincinnati.

No Help Here For Brewer MELVILLE, Sask. (CP) -- Fred Page of Vancouver, pres- ident of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, said Fri- day the CAHA recoghizes the suspension of Carl Brewer by Toronto Maple Leafs. On his way home from the International Ice Hockey Feder- ation's annual meeting in Eur- ope, Page said two CAHA an- nual meetings have voted to ex- tend the association's agree- ment with the National Hockey League which includes terms of reinstatement of former profes- sional players.
