In writing to 
iA happy hunter 
li prince of a fellow and his 
Patience and Mallards 
By SENECA 

A good day on the marshes 
OMEHOW I never did think much 
of that duck call. It worked fairly 
well on the first arrivals (the native 
birds, I suppose), but after the real 
flight started the wise old northern 
greenheads didn’t seem to take much 
stock in it. 
It was this last fall and I was shoot- 
ting on the Triangle ranch in western 
Nebraska, owned by E. P. Myers of 
Omaha. In order to reach the Tri- 
angle one must be able to drive uphill 
through soft sand. (All the Fords 
native to this country have three gears 
—high, low and push. I, with two 
partners, got there mostly on push, but 
the Triangle was well worth the 
effort.) 
It is a perfect paradise for duck 
hunters. Its thirteen big lakes were 
alive with ducks most of the time we 
were there. By the way, they have 
some unusual names for those lakes, 
Bally, McGooglen and San Puddin are 
fair samples. 
Ducks are not the only ingredients 
for a duck hunter’s paradise though. 
must have his 
stomach well loaded and this work was 
ably accomplished for us by the fore- 
man’s wife, Mrs. Younkin, and her as- 
sistant, “Sweet” Adeline. They are 
wonderful cooks and not stingy with 
the flapjacks. 
The foreman, is a 
“cow 
pinchers,” with whom we bunked, are 
a dandy lot of fellows too, though with 
Ed Younkin, 

a decided tendency toward stud poker. 
Alas, Alas. 
The youngest of these “cow pinch- 
ers” is Lunk Younkin, the twelve year 
Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. 
It will 
old son of the foreman. He wears the 
regulation cowboy regalia from hat to 
“spears” and knows the cow business 
from vocabulary to roping. The others 
admit he is as good a cow hand as 
any of them and I have heard him beg 
to stay out of school so he could ride 
after cattle all day in a raging bliz- 
zard. He will be a regular he-man 
when he gets his growth. 
So much for the paradise and its in- 
habitants. Now for the hunting. I 
forgot to mention before that there are 
plenty of grouse in this country too, 
and my two partners, Earl and Warren 
Newman, being grouse crazy, spent 
most of their time and ammunition in 
chasing these tough customers from 
cornfield to hay meadow and back to 
the cornfield again. They got them, 
too. 
I shot two or three grouse but they 
didn’t interest me much when the mal- 
lards were flying. All the lakes seemed 
to be equally good so I burned most of 
my powder at Home Lake because it 
was closest to the ranch house. 
I had some real sand hill duck shoot- 
ing. The kind of shooting you get 
when big bunches of mallards set their 
wings at a height of two hundred yards 
and volplane almost straight down with 
the roar of a German plane, hitting 
the water like a ton of brick. They 
do not need to be decoyed. They are 
coming anyway. It was shooting such 
as I had never seen before but I pass 
over several days of this delirious ex- 
citement to get to the duck call, and 
this is the story I started to tell. 
I was shooting a_ sixteen gauge 
Ithaca and was down to the last two
