CONSERVATION AFFAIRS
Happenings Affecting Woods, Waters and Wild’ife
By THE BLUFFTON COMMUNITY SPORTSMEN’S CLUB, INC.
reserve has been developed by Vic
Green of Findlay on the wooded por
tion of his 47 acre farm adjoining the
Layton Manges place.
Green, a native of this section, was
for many years prominently identi
fied with Canadian oil interests and
at the time of his recent retirement
held a responsible position with a
large oil company in that country.
The woodlot, which comprises a
part of the family farm, consists of
six acres with heavy grass and
standing timber, provides an ideal
habitat for game.
One red oak tree worth $200 har
bors a fox squirrel family and in an
other tree on the line fence a rac
coon family resides. Along the back
fence piled up brush makes fine cover
for pheasants and small game. A
thrush has her nest in a hollow log
and evidences of abundant wildlife
for such a small woodlot are evident
everywhere.
A tree unit of 150 red pine and
food bushes, obtained through Curly
Ohl, Hancock County game protector,
was planted by Vic in the woodlot
clearing. Now one year old, the trees
are surrounded by an acre stand of
mixed clover. Excellent nesting sites,
safe from mowing machines, are as
sured for pheasants nesting there.
Adjoining the woodlot along the
fence in a 20 foot strip an acre of
barley has been planted. Allowed to
stand throughout the winter the
grain will provide feed for pheasants
and other wildlife. Sweet clover has
been planted in with the barley which
will provide additional cover for the
birds next year.
A large wooden feeding station has
been erected in the stand of pine
which supplies pheasants during the
cold months with food which Vic
supplies in abundance.
Plans are underway to construct
a concrete pool near a drilled well
to insure an adequate water supply
during the hot months. The pool will
measure 12 feet long and be less
than a foot in depth. Wooden squir
rel dens are to be erected among the
trees this fall by interested friends.
Multiflora rose, sunflower and
other foodplants along with ivy and
evergreen honeysuckle grow near the
windbreak and around the feeding
station.
Near by within good shooting
range "Vic has constructed a crow
blind from stone obtained from an
old foundation. This spring before
nesting time, with a stuffed owl as
a decoy, 9 crows were blasted to
kingdom come. Vic is handy with the
shot gun too for at one time he was
champion of a Canadian province. An
engraved gold plate on the stock of
his gun tells of the honor.
Surrounding the woodlot 20 acres
of wheat and 17 acres of corn will
provide additional cover and food for
wildlife, for you can be sure the
fields will not be gleaned clean.
The farm once owned by his grand
father Ewing has been in Vic’s pos
session a number of years and a few
years ago the house and buildings
known as the Scotty Edinger place
were purchased and added to the
acreage.
Vic and Mrs. Green spend many
hours in their private refuge and en-
joy every minute of it. Hunting is
not permitted at anytime. Both agree
for wildlife to have a chance to sur
vive the game must have a safe place
to go when hunting pressure is
heavy. “Live and let live” is their
motto.
Fishing Thrills
Ever catch a yard long muskie?
Bill Edwards vacationing in Wiscon
sin gaffed such a monster at one of
their famous lakes. The big fish gave
him quite a tussle before he was able
to bring it to the boat. Using a live
frog for bait trolling at dusk did the
trick. He is having the fish mounted
and will have it on display soon.
Art, Richard and Bob Lewis made
some fine catches in Indiana. Had all
the fish they could eat and plenty
to spare. Snagged huge crappies and
blue gills.
George and Louise Schumacher
made some good catches in southern
Michigan at Lake Pleasant. Fishing
was excellent. It was not unusual for
them to snag sunfish measuring 11
to 12 inches in length. Now that is
outstanding!
In Bluffton and area fishing is
fine but catching is poor say the ex
perts. Never-the-less some fine catch
es were made last week.
Clement Keiffer and Larry Math
ewson snagged some nice crappies at
the Buckeye last Wednesday after
noon. Fishing from a boat near the
sunken tree at the north end and us
ing minnows for bait they hooked a
dozen fish and missed a good many
more strikes.
Sunday afternoon a 14 inch pick
erel was hooked at the quarry and
another party landed a good sized
bass.
Sam Stepleton made a catch of 17
channels Thursday afternoon and
would have snagged his limit, but
ran out of bait. Several of the fish
ran better than 15 inches in length.
Francis Kohli snagged two bass
Monday. Makes a total of six bass
for him this year taken from the
Buckeye. He learned too the tech
nique practiced by preacher McDon
ald.
At the Dunkirk quarry, which is
fast becoming a popular spot with
local anglers, Sport Kirtland snag
ged a 2H pound bass, July 4. The
fish was short and chunky measuring
16 inches. Jess Basinger landed three
whopper blue gills and other anglers
report good luck. Blue gills run large
in size at Dunkirk they say. At Han
na Battles bridge Dan Trippiehorn
has been taking a few bass on flies.
WING TIPS
From
Bluffton Airport
“What is so rare as a day in
July” has really been the slogan for
the boys at the Bluffton Airport. A
record solo day last week saw three
boys take to the air to try their
wings. Harvey Moser, Jr., Arthur
Dellinger and Forrest Martin, Lima,
soloed beautifully enough to make
any instructor’s heart fill with pride.
Morris Triplett and James Dep
pler were soloed over the week end.
Morris Triplett has enjoyed flying
and has taken to the air with as
much enthusiasm and adaption as he
must tackle his engineering prob
lems. James Deppler was not to be
outdone on his smooth solo landing.
“A Flyiag Dutchman” was a real
ity this week when Jean Rene de
Monchy, student of Bluffton College
and a native of Rotterdam, Holland,
soloed. He expects to use this train
ing in getting his entrance in the
Dutch Air Forces.
A real time element entered into
the solo of Dr. Robert J. Doernberg
of Spencerville. He achieved the feat
in five hours and fifty minutes in
struction time.
The City Coal and Supply Co. of
Van Wert, took delivery of a new
Ercoupe at the airport on Saturday.
A new Aeronca Chief was delivered
to Lloyd L. Shelton of Bowling
Green.
Miss Dorothy Anderson flew to
St. Louis and Kansas City to visit
relatives over the weekend. She was
accompanied by a friend from Bow
ling Green. She made the trip in a
new Aeronca Chief.
Sarcasm: When wife asks you how
much you lost at the prayer meeting.

craft as the Macon.

week layoff, the Sportsmen drubbed
Ottawa Eagles, 25 to 13, in a free

doubt.
