DAVIS j^. : —— —— After a run of bright and sunny days, which made for excellent upland game hunting, along came four solid days of rain that gave the waterfowlers a break. The wind, which ac- companied the rain, caused many a leaf to fall, thus making it easier for the nimrod to see his game. They say it is an ill wind that blows no one some good. The rain soaked the leaves and brush causing the upland game to 6eek heavy cover and perhaps it wlll take a day or two to bring them out Into the open and by that time we will probably have another northeaster to again send them back into the thickets. On the opening day I checked a couple of those receptacles put out by the Department of Fisheries an il Game to see how many bands tail been turned in. Well, both boxes had no bands in them. This last Monday I looked again and after a week of hunting one box held eight bands and another had ten. And how many birds are shot anil the bands thrown away. Some hunters have told mo that they hadn 't seen a pheasant In these same parts of real estate. While they were zlgging those pheasants must have been zagging Or something. Several woodcock have been re- ported seen on the north side of the Cape , especially around the Yarmouth and Dennis areas. John Jackson bagged a good sized ph easant while hunting in the West Barnstable area. Stuart Stevens and I had a little chat over the weekend about hunt- ing In general and pheasant hunt- ing in particular. It was his con- tention that pheasants were or cer- tainly must be in hiding as he hadn 't seen any cock birds. He- fore the season he had seen quite a number during his driving around but where are they now? Had foxes killed off some or had they sensed that they could be hunted now. He had bagged a couple of par- tridge and a like number of ducks. Ihe banded pheasants appear to be small birds , according to Wayne Oehme, who has bagged a pair of liirds that bore bands. You know that during fishing or hunting season you hear some pretty odd and funny incidents. Well, during my news gathering 1 heard of several and here ' is one that I thought was well worth iwssing on to my readers. It It seems that Bob Carey, Jr., and Rene Botelho were out pheasant hunting up around East Sandwich and they had just crossed a fence rten out flew a cock pheasant tight into the face of Bob who drew n bead on the ring neck and downed the bird. He hoard a voice lay, "Well , that bird didn 't last fery long." It seems that these two nlmrods were hunting but a ihort distance from the hatchery rail wildlife men had just released that bird seconds before. Nope, some of tho birds last long enough lo seek a "no hunting or trespass- tag" posted piece of land , a chicken yard or a piece of swamp land, out lo, this poor bird didn 't make " to fly away and live another day. George Cross, Jr., bagged a good sized cock pheasant during a re- cent jaun t through the woodlands. Where did he bag it? Well, I'm lot going to divulge his pet spot. Tf you hag a pheasant that is wearing a band on Its leg, please return the band. Put it in the yel- low receptacles provided by the Department of Fisheries and Game. They are placed In a number of spots in the hunting areas. Each band carries a number and from these number s the wildlife men are able to learn valuable data such as how far tho bird has ranged , the cover ho sought , whether or not some birds survived the hunting season along with other valuable information. So help the Pish and Game department men. They need your cooperation and they are right on the ball so give them all the help you can. Anyway that aluminum band won't taste very good roasted no matter how much salt and pepper you put on it. Ralph Kimball says that his boarder Jimmie Goon is back again and spent the weekend in his pri- vate apartment , Ralph's garbage pail. Maybe his last visit for the season as the weather is getting colder and he will soon bo going into hibernation until the warmer weather returns in the early spring. The skunk also goes into hiheration until the spring thaw . Mr. Woodchuck is another mam- mal that goes into hiding and spends the winter In a long period of sleeping. Of course bears also hibernate but don 't waste your time looking for a hibernating bear around here as "there ain't any such critters around those diggin 's." Davis Humphrey has found pickerel fishing to be good, having caught a 16 incher and one going 15 inches a few days back. That 28 inch pickerel that Ed Clia.se caught some time back went V/j pounds. The others ranged from a couple of two pounders to a pound and a half for the other pair. Mel Sturgis says that fishing was so good on Mashpee-Wakeby Lake during the past season and that tho demand for boats was so great that he is going to enlarge his boating facilities. That fellow has been en- joying some excellent partridge hunting and says that the birds are big and fat. A banded pheasant was bagged by Ken Bradbury, Jr. Ken cooper- uted by depositing the band in the receptacle in Kenney 's Sport Shop. Hollis Bachelder and I went hunting up around the Sandwich area on tho second day but on our first two stops wo found the lanil posted . These parcels of land were not posted last year. Well, we were oft to a poor start. At our next stop nntch jumpe d a cock pheasant in a thicket near the marsh but couldn 't see the bird.. Our next stop was near a bog and shortly after I crossed the dike I saw a cock pheasant run out and stop under a small birch a few feet from a setter , who when he caught scent of the bird, stopped and pointed. Not wanting to shoot a bird that another man 's dog was pointing and not knowing where the hunter was or whether he knew if 1 was around , I didn 't care to risk stepping out Into range of a possible firing. The cock flushed within easy gunshot. Sev- eral minutes later the owner of the dog, John Jnckson , appeare d and I related the incident. He said that he wished I had shot the bird , but safety is better than a chance on a pheasant. While we were chat- ting his dog flushed a pair of hen pheasants only yards away from us. With a few minutes to spare wo drove over to Sand y Neck to seo if any birds were flying. Batch and I counted four flocks, all pretty well outside . They would rise and fly, light and fly again only to land several hundred yards away. We spotted several hunters who were jump shooting on the inland marsh Several shots were heard but how successful they were I could not see. Had a telephone chat with my friend Cal O'Brien, tho rod nnd gun sportscaster from WEEI and he reports that the partridge in Maine and New Hampshire just are not around and tho hunting of them is poor. He had tried the Westboro area on opening day with his brother and a dog and they had jumpe d but one cock pheasant. It was a heavily hunted area and the Cape has produced better results. While on one of my hunting jaunts I met and had a brief chat with Doc Dunne and Bobbie Dougherty. They had been to a couple-of places hut had not seen any pheasants. Hunters are reporting that they are finding more and moro posted land every day. I too have found that to bo true. Not only an acre or so but several acres in a spot. Some ronds are posted for a quar- ter of a mile or so and some even more. Where wlll It all end? Who has the answer? Well , Mr. Hunter has it , who is responsible for so much posted land. In one respect the hunter who goes In and breaks down fences, lets cattle out , shoots near where cnttlo or horses are grazing, shoot- ing too close to houses or shooting up the place in general. Neighbors hear of this , perhaps single in- stances , and they too post thoir land fearing Ilka treatment by those "awful hunters." Il only takes one reckless or thoughtless hunter to givo every hunter a black eye. So tho next time you see a piece of posted land stop and think if you are responsible for it. If you see sonic "Smart Alec " shooting up the place, or being a nuisance, put a bug in his ear If ho Is worthy of being called a sports- man he wlll take tho hint. You ran do your part to stop this spreading of posting that in time will leave you, your friends and all tho real sportsmen with little or no land left on Which to limit . That could happen. What are you going to do to prevent It from becoming il realtiy? The :i00 acre O. I..
