Coon Restocking Underwa/
A mob of coonhunters congregated
at Albert Garmatter’s house last
Monday night to assist in the releas
ing of a good share of the club own
ed coon as a first phase of the area
restocking program.
Armed with gunny sacks, steel
tongs for handling the coons, boxes
and crates, each hunter was invited
to enter the “coon dormatory” and
pick out two animals.
Amid a great deal of ribbing and
general good fun at least 24 ring
tails were sacked up and carted away
to be given their freedom.
The policy! of the organization this
year is to turn the coon over to mem
bers of the organization who engage
in the sport and let them release the
animals in woods where den trees a
bound.
Monday night the following men
were given coon for distribution:
William Nusbaum, Columbus Grove
Albert Roebks, Columbus Grove
Leonard Augsburger, Pandora: Cleo
Welty, Bluffton Dana Mathewson,
Bluffton Millard Herr. Bluffton F.
S. Wolfrom, Rawson Omar Augs
burger, Pandora Dallas Yoakam,
Lafayette Vernon Yoakam, Lafay
ette Mark Emerick, Lafayette and
John Nusbaum, Pandora.
Additional raccoon will be given
out in the near future and motion
pictures made of the restocking.
The club purchased 37 coon this
year from area coonhunters during
the hunting and trapping season.
Edgar Root, in charge of the club
restocking program, assisted Gar
matter with the distribution at Mon
day night’s activity.
