Open Friday Evenings
as seen by
HARTLEY R. 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?
