To Film Pheasant Hunting Here
Outdoor magazine, one of the lead

a motion picture of pheasant hunt
ing in the Bluffton area next fall.
Announcement that the magazine
will send here a complete staff for
that purpose was received the first
of the week by Silas Diller, vice pres
ident and program chairman of the
Sportsmen’s club which will cooper
ate in the filming project.
The pictures, depicting actual
hunting spenes, will be taken on the
Dr. F. L. Foust farm, 1U miles south
of Beaverdam. This area was select
ed by Outdoor magazine as one of the
top ranking pheasant hunting spots
and it will receive national publicity
thru showing of the film.
Heading the publication’s film ex
pedition here will be Albert Dixon
Simmons, head photographer for the
magazine together with H. G. Tapply
editor in chief and other notables to
gether with the best in dogs, film
technicians and equipment to get pic
tures, of the hunt.
The Foust farm of 160 acres is well
adapted as a colorful setting for the
picture, with its small stream, wood
ed acres, roadside park and rolling
fields. Cover is plentiful and pheas
ants abound. Modern farm build
ings and spacious brick home lend a
friendly atmosphere.

Fourteen acres of alsike and timo
thy provide a haven for nesting birds.
This coupled with 22 acres of wood
land and additional acres of standing
corn will provide food and shelter
necessary for attraction of a multi
tude of wildlife. Dr. Foust explains
that the orchard provides security for
a flock of pheasants, which can be
seen there frequently. Controlled
hunting in the past has kept pheas
ants plentiful in that locality.
The Bluffton area as a possible site
for filming a pheasant hunt first
came to the attention of Outdoor
magazine when Simmons, its photog
raphy editor, and internationally rec
ognized in this field, presented an all
color program of motion pictures on
fishing and other outdoor sports at
the March meeting of the Sports
men’s club.
Impressed with the organization
and activity of the Bluffton Sports
men’s club and the spirit of coopera
tion of its members in promoting the
cause of outdoor recreation, Simmons
told of the magazine’s project for
filming a pheasant hunt next fall.
Dr. Foust, present at the meeting of
fered the use of his farm which was
accepted last week in a letter from
the magazine’s office in Boston. The
publication also has asked and will
receive all possible cooperation and
assistance from the Sportsmen’s club.
More Tagged Fish Caught
Anglers seeking tagged fish at the
Buckeye quarry, scene of Bluffton’s
famed fishing derby, are having no
end of luck. Last week seven tagged
fish were recorded with Carl Mumma,
contest director, and this week four
more tags were added to the grow
ing list.
To date 11 of the tagged fish have
been captured, leaving 195 numbered
fish still at large. The derby this
year had 206 tagged entries.
Those anglers fortunate enough to
snag a tagged fish the past week
were:
Herb Rupright, Bluffton—Bass B
15343, carton of cigarettes. Prize
donated by Sam Stepleton Recreation
hall.
Sam Moore, Bluffton—Perch B
154(H). '$2.50 in cash. Prize given
by C. F. Niswander, McCormick
Deering Implement dealer.
Everett DeVore, Bluffton—Rock
Bass B-15386. $2.00 in cash. Prize
awarded by Bluffton Sportsmen’s
club.
Edgar Wenger, Bluffton Crappie B
15330. Subscription to the Ohio Con
servation Bulletin. Prize given by
the Bluffton Sportsmen’s club.
Inclement weather the latter part
of l^pt week kept many anglers in
doors, but the more hardy made some
fine catches. Herb Rupright and his
brother Don Rupright each snagged
their limit of 6 bass last Saturday
at the Buckeye quarry. The bass
were taken on minnows. Last Fri
day Herb hooked a 17 inch bass at
the Waterworks.
Ottmer Kaple, Lima, snagged four
bass Saturday at the Buckeye also.
Two of them measured 13inches
the other two were keepers. One of
the large bass was hooked by his six
year old son, and was that youngster
thrilled!
Early in the week J. L. Bracy, Mt.
Cory, hooked several perch and Dale
Bracy, Benton Ridge snagged a tag
ged bass and several crappies. Joey
Goodman hooked a whopper of a
bass, it was reported to be more than
a foot long. Sam Moore, Ed Gossard
and Belle Hall hooked an aggregate
of 17 perch in two days fishing at the
Buckeye.
Thursday ,Weldon Diller landed a
13 Va inch crappie and snagged 3 or
4 others. A Lima member also made
a good catch of 14 perch and crap
pies. John Diller landed a large rock
bass and a perch. Two youngsters
Larry Matthewson and Bernard Fish
also had good luck and bagged 9
crappies the same day.
At the Waterworks, Thursday, just
at dusk, Charles Aukerman and son
Rex snagged 9 crappies and Jess
Manges hooked several with one old
lunker measuring over a foot long.
Sunday was so cold ice formed on
the lines and clogged the guides.
Some fish were taken later in the day.
Tom White from Rockport hooked 5
perch at the Buckeye Joey Good
man snagged 4 and Larry Matthew
son hooked 5 also. Bob Lewis snag
ged several perch and W. R. Thomp
son from Lima caught 4 also.
The probable supply of by-product
livestock feeds in the January-June,
1946 period is likely to be 10 to 15
per cent lower than in the same
months of 1945. The biggest de
creases will be in bran, middlings,
cottonseed meal, corn gluten feed,
and distillers’ grains.

... "Ohio will lead nation"
Conservation Commissioner HL
A. Rider recently told the out
doorsmen of Ohio that conser
vation in its broadest sense goes
a great deal further than just
hunting and fishing and that the
progress of Ohio’s conservation
program is no longer measured
by how many thousands of fish
are released in Ohio’s waters or
how many rabbits or pheasants
are turned loose in the fields. He
said the outdoorsmen every
where are looking to the prac
tical side of conservation and
are devotifig their efforts to fish
and game food and shelter
problems.
“The wisdom of such fore
sight,” stated the commissioner,
“lies in the fact that in those
states where proper attention is
given to soil, water and forests,
wildlife prospers abundantly. If
the people of Ohio and those
agencies devoted to the various
phases of conservation continue
to cooperate in the same spirit
as at present, Ohio will indeed
lead the nation in the program
of restoring and conserving the
state’s natural wealth."

After turning their attention to
Allen county tournament play at
Lima on Friday of this week, the
Bluffton High school nine will re
sume home appearances next Tues
day afternoon in a contest with
St. Rose on the Bluffton diamond.
Because of the tournament this
weekend, Bluffton’s tilt with Lima
St. Johns, scheduled for this Wed
nesday at Lima, has been postponed
until later in the season.
In the first round of the county
tourney, the Pirates will tangle with
Lima St. Gerahrs, a team ^hey al
ready have beaten twice this season.
Bluffton will play the Gerries at
10 a. m. Friday, and at 2 p. m.
Friday afternoon the winner of the
Bluffton-St. Gerard assignment will
take the field against St, Johns.
Following tournament play this
weekend, the Pirates will swing back
into Lima league competition next
Tuesday in the assignment against
Lima St. Rose.
Another thriller finished marked
Bluffton High’s baseball game with
Lima South last Friday afternoon on
the college diamond, with the Pi
rates coming from behind in the
last inning to top the Lima crew by
a score of 3 to 2.
Going into the seventh frame, the
Burckymen were trailing by one run.
They got two men on base in a last
ditch rally, then bunted the tying
run across the plate and a wild
throw to third in an attempt to
catch the base runner at that spot
enabled him to score the winning
tally.
In his second start for the locals,
Wilch pitched masterful ball, despite
a shaky first inning in which he
gave the visitors their two runs. He
allowed only three hits, which were
two less than his mates made off the
offerings of the Lima hurler.
In their court success, the Pirates
captured one doubles and two singles
assignments. Two singles players
were defeated, and one doubles
match could not be completed be
cause of darkness.

High School Tennis Team Wins Over
Lima St. Rose By 3-2 Match Score
On their home field, the Burcky
men are hopeful of turning the
tables on St. Rose, a feat that
would enable them to again be in
a position to cop the loop champion
ship providing they also can turn
back the St. Johns threat this Wed
nesday.
The tilt with St. Rose will mark
Bluffton’s next to the last home ap
pearance of the season. Closing con
test in league play will be on May
21 against Lima Central at Bluffton.
How evenly matched the compet
ing teams are in the league this
spring is demonstrated by the fact
that in four of Bluffton’s six games
only a one-run margin has separated
the victor and the loser. The Pi
rates won two of the one-runners
and dropped the other pair for their
only losses of the season.
Bluffton won over St. Johns, 5 to
4, and South, 3 to 2 and lost tilts
to Lima Central, 5 to 4, and to St.
Rose, 4 to 3.

The victory was Bluffton’s third
in Lima league play. Bluffton has
been beaten twice, by one run on
each occasion, and two of their three
victories were by one-run margins,
to demonstrate the close competition
prevailing in the loop this spring.
