the greenhead over to his pile; it was 
only one more duck anyway; and blue- 
wing teal were the finest table ducks 
in the world; and sometimes mallards 
were old and tough. And you can’t 
divide one greenhead four ways. 
It was a happy party that started 
for home, with lots of gas, tires in 
good condition, and with plenty of 
time to reach home for a good night’s 
rest. And then, visions of the duck 
parties that were already arranged be- 
fore we left home. That is one pre- 
caution that I always take before I 
go on a hunting trip. Those duck par- 
ties hold a charm for me second only 
to that of the actual sport. A duck 
dinner, with friends who have not been 
able to take the trip, is something just 
a little different, cannot be done at all 
times of the year, and seems much 
more enjoyable when you have been 
one of the shooting party yourself. 
Getting a Turkey Under 
Difficulties 
(Continued from page 558) 
and started in the direction of the 
wounded turkey. I had to run with 
my head down to protect my face from 
numerous bushes which proved to be 
directly in my path. From the sound 
of flopping wings I could tell that I 
was only about ten yards from my 
goal, and holding the gun at my waist 
[ pointed it slightly over the spot 
where I supposed the turkey was and 
pulled the trigger. The momentary 
fash from the muzzle of the gun 
showed me that I had estimated cor- 
rectly. The turkey then jumped over 
1 bank into a branch and started run- 
ling up stream. I was only about six 
‘eet behind him now, and as he jumped 
mut on the other bank I literally fell 
ight on him, and he was my meat. 
3y this time I had completely lost my 
earings, and as I was in a piece of 
yvoods containing about a _ thousand 
ieres, I had to make use of a compass 
vith an illuminated needle before I 
ould start back to camp with a 
wenty-one pound gobbler on my back. 
When the Fish Loses the 
Battle 
(Continued from page 553) 
ven a moderate-sized fish, so I had 
9 allow him to have his way. Into the 
urrent he went, and after a few darts 
his way and that he went down to the 
ywer end. 
At last he weakened, and after 
few short rushes around in the eddy 
pulled him as far up on the shore as 
ae water would float him. A three- 
ound trout, the largest one I had 
aken in eight years of ardent fishing, 
ell for a lure and a hook that the 
mall boy would think insufficient for 
atching minnows. Hard luck indeed, 
or the fish. p

In Flight! 
Game birds fly fast on the southern flight—and 
high! Often out of range of the ordinary gun. 
However, you needn't experience the disappoint- 
ment of shivering in your blind this year, while the 
birds go roaring by beyond the reaching-power of 
your gun. 
Equip yourself with one of the new 
L. C. Smith Long Range Guns 
then you can bring them down at distances which 
make other shooters hold their fire. 
The L. C. Smith Long Range gun is chambered for 
the modern high-power 3-inch shell, and bored to a 
longer, tapering choke. It makes clean kills con- 
sistently at 80 yards. Examine your dealer’s stock
