The club officers have received
from H. F. West of the Budget and
Accounting division of the State
Dept, of Conservation the release
for former club director Denver
Augsburger as license sales director.
A bond for $1000 is being prepar
ed for our new director Gail B.
Mumma. As soon as the department
receives this bond a series of licenses
for fishing will be rushed to Bluffton
in time for the opening of the fish
ing season Monday, March 1.
Those sportsmen interested in pro
moting the work of' the Conserva
tion Department are urged to buy
both fishing and hunting licenses
this year. A serious loss of skilled
manpower in the department may
result in the division if the revenue
is curtailed. Buy your fishing
license from a club dealer. The fees
are turned over to the club for re
stocking purposes.
Hunting one day last week Russ
Montgomery, George Combs, Wilbur
Niswander and Harold Montgomery
bagged five hawks, all of a different
species, four woodchucks and a crow.
A sixth hawk was knocked down but
they were unable to locate it. These
boys have bagged sixty-five birds
since the ending of the pheasant
season and hope to exceed their
total of one hundred and fifty-two
for last year.
They were very much surprised to
find chucks out this early in the
season but, it seems that quite a
few have been seen, two fellows
from one of the local scout troops
reported seeing two, on a hike the
other day. The National Audubon
Society states that the sharp-shinned
hawk is the most destructive to
game, 94% of its diet consisting of
small birds beneficial to the farmer
and sportsman.
The fellows load their own am
munition and have a stack of powder
and caps in store to last them for
some time yet, as commercial am
munition is almost impossible to get
at this time. The guns used were
a .218 Bee and a 22 Varminter, both
equipped with high power hunting
scopes and able to pick off game at

WITH THE
SPORTSMEN’S CLUB
By Paul Sauder
two and three hundred yards. Geo.
obtained pictures of the birds as five
species of hawks in one hunt is a
very' unusual happening. One of
each was shot, Western Red-Tail,
Swainson, Cooper Hawk, Sharp
Shinned and a Red Shouldered hawk
which is very uncommon in this
community as it is the third one
ever to have been shot by the fel
lows in their hunting expeditions.
Crow hunts are increasing in their
ranking as a major sporting event.
In the past years a few hunts were
enjoyed in this area, but participa
tion in the sport has not been con
sidered to a degree by the local
sportsmen. It is just in the past
few months that interest is again on
the upswing in this type of shooting.
Years ago in the Stouffer woods
near the Dean Davis filling station
a crow hunt was staged that proved
highly successful. Participating in
the hunt were Shell Dearth, Ken
neth Dearth, Charles Lloyd, Russell
Montgomery, Harold Montgomery,
Ivan Montgomery, and Raymond
Montgomery.
Sneaking up on the grove of
second, growth trees at night the
boys could see that they were in for
a big evening! In the light of the
moon the trees seemed to be alive
with the birds roosting above. At
a given signal the men were all
supposed to fire their shot guns at
once, but Shell Dearth, the man
agreed upon to give the signal,
blazed away prematurely and im
mediately the air was in a great
uproar! The boys were all equal to
the occasion and fired away.
After the first volley dead birds
were dropping all over the place.
After a time the birds would regain
their roosts after the gunners ceased
their firing, and then at a signal the
fun would commence again. Many
crows were blasted to eternity be
fore the remainder of the flock flew
away to a safer roosting place.
In the darkness later, at least 50
dead birds were counted, and many
more unaccounted for having drop
ped dead after flying a short dis
tance.
Talk about sharpshooting—fifteen
years ago Dr. Gordon Bixel showed
his stuff to the boys of a hunting
party by getting a bull’s eye at the
first shot! Seems that Clarence
Kraft, Ezra Moser, and Gordon went
rabbit hunting on the Byron Basing
er farm near Pandora. In those
days there was a scarcity of game
because there were no club and
state restocking programs to re
plenish the supply. After a long
time in the field they finally “bag
ged” a rabbit by chasing him into
a stump and catching him by hand!
In the friendly argument following
the capture, they finally agreed to
shoot mark for possession of the
rabbit. Gordon went first and took
aim at a postage stamp on a letter
at 60 feet. As Bixel confessed,
“Wonders never cease,” he got a
bull’s eye the first shot! Such un
canny marksmanship affected the
aim of the other two hunters and
Gordon became possessor of the
day’s take of game.
Fish stories float around, but the
ones that are remembered are those
that can be proven. Now’ such proof
of good fishing comes from Ensign
James F. Miller, U. S. Coast Guard
Station, Pigeon Key Island, Mara
thon, Fla. Miller went fishing and
had pictures taken of the catches as
proof. One photo shows Jim with a
buddie holding a stringer of six as
sorted good sized Jack Fish and
Snappers. And on another occasion
Jim with a friend from the Coast
Guard Station snagged two huge
Jew fish. The fish weighed 250 lbs.
each. The hook broke while pulling
one fish into the boat, but they were
able to grab the fish and land him
in the boat before he could get away.
(On this particular fishing trip Jim
forgot to enclose the snapshot.) An
other snap shot showed a catch of
nine large Jackfish and Snappers.
Jew fish sometimes attain the weight
of 500 to 600 pounds and lengths of
6 feet or more. They frequent deep
water in warm seas, have voracious
but sluggish dispositions, and though
not highly valued as food fish, are
regarded as great prizes by anglers.
The Department urges farmers to
leave a row of corn standing as food
for wild life. Sportsman Wade
Marshall believing the idea to be
a good one, left a patch of sweet
corn stand in the garden on his
farm. At frequent intervals a flock
of at least 50 pheasant hens visit
i pie patch and feed on the corn. The
I same flock is seen in the patch by
Rural Carrier Woodrow Little which
jgoes to show that wild lifA soon
learns to know where food is plenti
ful and will lose their fear of
humans in their quest for food when
no attempt is made to molest them.
The club room will boast a real
trophy at the next meeting through
the generosity of Club member
Donald Stratton. The mounted head
of a 9 point buck has been presented
to Silas Diller for display in the hall
by Stratton. The wild life exhibit
in the room has been increasing and
there is on display at present a
mounted chicken hawk, presented by
Bob Sheidler of Mansfield, a loon
donated by Ray Mumma. and a jack
rabbit by John A. Diller. The club
plans to increase the exhibit and any
sportsmen with mounted wild life
available please contact club officers.

Some of Hitler’s legion in the
U. S. are planning to dodge the limit
on commercially canned products by
transferring foods from tin cans in
to glass jars. If the transfer is
made without reprocessing the foods,
there is likely to be a considerable
epidemic of ptomaine poisoning,
which would be fair enough because
people who are a headache to their
nation deserve a bellyache for them
selves.

College Loses To
Findlay Five, 71-49
Altho leading for most of the first
half, Bluffton college’s gallant eagers
showed the effects of lack of re
serve strength again last Wednes
day night and Findlay captured &
71 to 49 decision in a contest played
on the local court.
Thruout the first half Bluffton’s
smaller team outraced Findlay’s
Orange squad, and the spectators
were hoping that the Beavers could
upset a losing jinx and come thru
with their first victory of the sea
son.
Findlay’s superior reserve strength
was particularly apparent in the sec
ond half however when the visitors
pulled away to pile up a command
ing advantage.
Beidler, Bluffton forward, was in
top form, racking
