increasing size for bass, and am really 
getting very satisfactory results using 
a buck-tail on a spinner. I find that 
a buck-tail three inches long and as 
wide at the brush is a killer for big 
bass, and to my surprise the pound 
and a half bass take this lure quite as 
well as they do the smaller buck-tail 
fly. The large bass are attracted 
from the deep water and moss by it 
when they will not heed tne smaller 
lure. 
I plan at some time in the future 
to give some results and observations 
along this line, so will not digress 
further as it is the red fish I have 
wished to talk about at this time. For 
this reason I have not given the names 
or catches of other members of our 
party, who did not fish for red fish. 





ROOSTING TURKEYS 
(Continued from page 75) 
soon turned homeward, and passing 
back over the route we had just taken, 
Tom halted at a thick cedar sapling 
and pulled down two fine turkeys, and 
the scalawag had pretended to me he 
had missed both shots!! Well, I sup- 
pose it did serve me about right for 
twitting him so over his weakness in 
wing-shooting. He said that he had 
found one of the birds in a tall pine, 
away up near the top, had knocked it 
out, and as it came sliding and bounc- 
ing down through the limbs and 
through a smaller magnolia that was 
standing under it, out went number two 
from the thick top of the magnolia and 
he nailed it almost before it was fairly 
awing. 
We had a good heavy load to tote 
three miles home. Tom’s birds were 
gobblers of the year, while mine was a 
big heavy old fellow, with an eleven- 
inch beard, which I told him was of 
course more than an equal for any two 
young ones! 
If you have not written to your 
congressman in regard to the Pub- 
lic Shooting Grounds-Game Refuge 
Bill, there is still time left in which 
to do it. This is a measure of vital 
importance to every sportsman. 
Act now.
