Where and How 
to Get ’Em! 
Listen, Fellows! It’s time to be stowing grub 
and tackle into the old bus again and with a 
song in our hearts, hie to a shady retreat on 
a foam-flecked stream or cool, calm lake— 
where the wily game fish play. 
But say! Are you really anxious to make your 
vacation and fishing trip a rousing success? 
Then clip this advice and put it away in your 
fishing kit for ready reference—because it’s 
written by an old reliable fisherman. 
Floating Injured IN THE EARLY 
Minnow MORNING 
Or evening, start along 
some lilly pads, weed 
beds, logs or shallows. 

Toss out a Floating In- 
jured Minnow. Let it lie 
a second or two. Then 
give just enough jerk to 
make lure quiver, Follow 
up with slow, short jerks and—WHANG—that old 
bass who’s out bright and early looking for an 
easy meal—strikes—and strikes hard! And man, 
what a thrill he gives you—fighting gamely until 
you flip him into your boat.

to get on a stump to load as it was 
much taller than I. 
On the return trip with gun, powder 
horn and bullet pouch I had to come by 
way of a new railroad. I passed a 
bunch of men who said two deer had 
gone in the thicket nearby. There were 
no deer in that county, so I kept on go- 
ing knowing they were joshing me. I 
soon met another bunch of workmen 
who wanted to see the gun; they made 
all kinds of remarks and finally one 
said he would keep the gun. Then I 
was scared and began to cry; finally 
the boss came and made the fellow give 
me the gun and believe me, I kept go- 
ing and when I saw the next gang of 
men I made a round-about circuit to 
avoid them. 
My father and mother were pleased 
with the gun and bought me some am- 
munition. When all was ready I 
started for a squirrel hunt. Going to 
a nearby woods, I saw two gray and 
one black squirrel together. The gray 
squirrels went in hollow trees, but the 
black one stayed on a limb. I rested 
my long gun on a branch and pulled the 
trigger. Down came Mr. Black Squir- 
rel. Rushing to where he fell I picked 
him up and went home as fast as I 
could to show mother what I had shot. 
From then on we had plenty of game 
to eat as I got all the ammunition I 
needed. The flint lock was a bother, 
however, as it would sometimes flash 
in the pan; other times the flint played 
out and I had to send to Cleveland to 
get flint. Later I had a cap lock put 
on the gun. As a good shooter it was 
hard to beat for squirrels, but no good 
for wing shooting. I remember going 
out with two hunters who had double 
barrel shotguns. They made all kinds 
of fun at my Long John as they called 
it. In the course of our hunt for 
Pheasants we came upon a covey; I 
shot and about 8 flew out. Climbing 
up I found I had killed two instead 
of one and later on I killed a rabbit. 
The two failed to secure anything, 
missing the few shots they had, so I 
had the laugh on them going home.

Hunting and Fishing on 
Butt-des-Morts 
DEAR FOREST AND STREAM: 
SHKOSH, in my opinion, is the 
most beautiful city in Wisconsin. 
It has a population of thirty-six thou- 
sand and is located in the Fox River 
Valley. Lake Winetago near by is 
twelve miles wide and thirty miles long. 
On the east is located Lake Butt-des- 
Morts and on the west, the Fox River 
running through the city connecting 
both lakes. Lake Butt-des-Morts is a 
body of water three by seven miles. 
With thousands of acres of marsh and 
miles of wild celery and rice beds it is 
one of the best Canvas Back shooting 
grounds in the Country. I have a hunt- 
ing shanty on an island of about forty 
rods lake front. 
No matter from what direction the 
wind blows, I can always find a calm 
spot for my extra large canvas back 
decoys. About the tenth of October the 
flight on the southern trip starts to 
arrive here and for twenty to thirty 
days it’s a sport for the Gods. Last 
fall, I and my son Dick shot some two 
hundred canvas backs, twenty red 
heads, a few mallards and a few dozen 
of blue bill. We also have good fishing 
and trapping. Our fish are pike, pick- 
erel, black and white bass, perch, cat- 
fish, bull heads and an overdose of 
sheep head and German carp. 
Pickerel are classed as common fish 
and it’s lawful to spear them. They 
spawn as soon as the ice goes out of 
the marshes. Just about when they get 
through, the carp start to spawn and 
it’s some thrill to connect with a twenty 
pounder. I have this to say for the 
carp, when smoked it is really very pal- 
atable. 
I get FOREST AND STREAM from our 
newsstand and some day, I will send 
you a few pictures of myself and hunt- 
ing lodge. 
If anyone of the old readers of 
FOREST AND STREAM drift this way I 
want them to make a call and I’ll prove 
to them that Good Fellowship is my 
middle name. JOHN L. HANNES,
