Crow Hunters Make Big Haul In
Union Township
Three crow hunters bagged 246
crows in an after night hunting foray
in Union twp. The trio of hunters,
Merritt Green, Ray Bowersox and
Ray Peterson, all Bluffton Sports
men Club Members, followed the
crows early in the evening and noted
where the birds settled down to roost.
Slipping up in the darkness under
an elm tree where the bulk of the
flock was roosting the men opened
up with pump guns. In a bedlam of
racket from the birds and guns the
first barrage dropped 137 crows from
the tree. Later more crows were shot
in the samp manner making a score
of 246 for the evening.
State Swaps Shells For Crows
A. J. Lutterbein, Allen County
Game Protector, issues a reminder
that the Department of Conservation
will swap one box of 12 guauge
shells (25 shells) for every 20 pairs
of crows feet turned into the game
protector.
So this gives the crow hunter a
choice. He can turn the crows feet
over to the Sportsmen’s Club and col
lect a 25c bounty and then the club

shoot crows. Not only can they enjoy
the sport, but the state will replace

The Sportsmen’s club pays a
bounty for them and the three men
were presented a check for $61.50 by
Russell Montgomerys club director of
predator control.
To date the club has paid the
bounty on a grand total of 586 crows
the past year.
In addition bounties were paid for
2 foxes and 76 hawks.
In the bounty program the club
pays $2.00 for fox, 25c each for
hawks and crows. To collect bounty
on hawks and crows turn in the feet.
For fox, to collect the bounty, the
feet are cut off the pelt.
On an earlier occasion Merritt
Green collected for 31 crows and
James Green 28 crows.
Bounties are paid by the club
to members when predators are shot
only in Riley, Orange, Jackson, Un
ion, Richland and Monroe township.
To collect the bounty the member
must also have been in good stand
ing for at least a year.
Authorized club agents to pay
bounty are Wilbur Niswander, Rus
sell Montgomery and Jess Manges.
It is hoped more club members will
take up the sport of crow shooting.
Not only is it a great deal of fun,
but profitable too. And there are
plenty of crows wintering locally this
year.
Russ reports a balance of $140 re
mains in the predator fund. So why
not get together a gang of friends
for a crow hunt.
Crows are detrimental. Not only

Heavy Raccoon Restocking Program
Planned For Area
Coon hunters are jubilant over
prospects for next year’s coon hunt
ing. Although the market value for
the fur has dropped to pre-war levels,
followers of the hounds are enjoying
plenty of sport this season which
closes on January 19.
Ringtails are plentiful and there is
every evidence of a good carry over.
The Sportsmen’s Club has been on
the ball with a strong restocking pro
gram. Albert Garmatter, director of
raccoon restocking, has already pur
chased over 30 live ringtails which
will be released around the first of
March. At that time, the more severe
months of the winter season will be
over and the coon will have
chance to become adjusted
surroundings.
