Two others got away. Charlie says
channel catfish are excellent eating
and is planning to try his luck again.
Russ Montgomery snagged a whopper
of a sunfish and a channel catfish at
the quarry Sam Stepleton hooked
another, using shrimp for bait............
about a dozen catfish were caught in
the water works quarry by Emmet
Stauffer, Dutch Benroth, and ye ed.
Blue gill and bass fishing is still poor
generally speaking and few fish in the
area other than in the Bluffton quar
ries have been caught .Gus Bor
kosky and son Virgil have set the
record for the past week. These two
men caught 17 channel catfish in one
evening at the Buckeye using night
crawlers for bait Carl Mumma
also set a record by hooking four fish
and loosing one. Three of the catch
were big channel and the fourth a 12
inch bass. Carl had only five night
crawlers for bait and three the last
worm away. This streak of luck hap
pened at the Buckeye.
BAN O NSHELLS MAY BE LIFTED
FOR FALL HUNTING
Don Waters, state conservation com
missioner, said ammunition manufac
turers were passing out the good
word that probably 70 per cent of a
normal supply of shotgun shells would
be available to Ohio hunters this year.
Waters said all companies were con
fident
woud
use
the
the War Production Board
ift its two-year-old ban on the
ammunition for sport before
opening of the 1944 hunting seas-
In Ohio, this is inaugurated by
squirrel season in the middle of
thc
September.
At the outbreak of war, the WPB
ordered all shotgun and rifle amuni
tion diverted entirely to army use.
By filling out special blanks, the farm
also might obtain amunition to protect
stock from rodents and birds.
Waters said Ohio nimrods were not
curtailed seriously in their sport until
last year since most stores still bad
enough ammunition in stock to supply
requests in 1942.
“Now, my informants tell me, we
can count on manufacturers releasing
about 70 per cent of the 1942 supply,”
Waters said.
LITTLE CHANGE IN HUNTING
REGULATIONS THIS FALL
For the Ohio Conservation Com
mission comes the formal approval of
hunting regulations for 1944-1945
which were tentatively approved pre
viously. In looking them over we
find that Ohio hunters, under the reg
ulations, will have virtually the same
length of hunting this year on the
various varieties of game as last sea
son.
The rabbit and bird season will op
en at noon November 17 with the
pheasant, Hungarian partridge and
grouse seasons ending on December
2 and the rabbit season continuing
PHONE 489-W
through January 13.
The squirrel season in the northern
and southern zones were left as they
were last year. Northern zones dates
are Sept. 22-30, inclusive. Southern
zone Septemeber 15-30, inclusive.
Trapping and hunting of coon will
be permitted from 6 p. m. to 6 a. m.
elusive.
The mink, Muskrat, opposum and
skunk seasons in the inland district
will extend from Nov. 17 to Jan. 20,
inclusive and the closed season on
skunks in conservation district No. 7
was removed.
The season on mink and muskrat in
the Lake Erie trapping district will
be from November 17 to March 1, in
clusive.
An open season on deer in Adams,
Scioto and Pike counties from Dec. 4
to 9, inclusive, was adopted.
No changes were made in last year’s
regulations on bag limits and pos
session limits after the first day on
any species.
