Trailing the “Bee Line 
Ducks” 
(Continued from page 584) 
breaths, “they’ll come back in pairs and 
singles later.”’ Sometimes when a large 
number of ducks are found in a small 
place of that kind, it is well to stand out 
of sight fairly well back, and let off a 
gun. Many times they will come 
back brokenly, affording fine shooting, 
whereas, if they are all jumped at once 
and shot into, they are gone for several 
days, even longer in many cases, and 
sometimes never return. 
Y friend proved a true prophet, 
for just as the rain had ceased 
and a faint splash of pink dyed the 
eastern sky, two “bee-liners” came 
swiftly along their regular course. We 
were using only two live decoys—a 
larger showing oft-times will keep 
ducks out of a small place—we cer- 
tainly ‘did not want to commit any 
blunders—so we were very careful. 
On they came, just clearing the tops 
of the tall pines, and with wings stiffly 
set, scaled down to the decoys, then we 
shot the props from under them. We 
let them lie as they fell, in an almost 
natural position, their heads under 
water as though feeding. We had not 
long to wait; with a musical whistle 
of wings three more shot up over the 
trees and down over the others. We 
let two of them down while a third 
escaped our united efforts and went 
speeding off toward Great Indian. 
As daylight advanced we discovered 
that we were sheltered by scant cover; 
there was no help for this, the growth 
being thin all around us. As it was, 
we were standing in water almost to 
the tops of our waders, while a single 
huckleberry bush without leaves was 
our only cover. At sunrise the wind 
backed in to the northwest, from which 
quarter it forced the ducks to fly 
straight against it and by the time 
they reached us they stood almost still 
in the air before their final dive to 
alight, making most of the shots very 
simple. 
Two “greenings” (green-wing teal) 
tore over us down wind, they had prob- 
ably been feeding farther up in the 
swamp. Harold’s automatic barked 
twice and I put two charges of sixes 
equally as far behind. I don’t consider

thee faint boom of guns drifted — 
toward us from Great Indian, while 
still fainter ones floated over from 
Muddy; West Pond, we could not hear. 
Sometimes there would come a perfect. 
fusilade indicating that many cripples 
were down. A little gray summer-bred 
duck dropped toward us. I held just, 
as far ahead as I had with similar 
shots, swinging all the while, pulled 
and missed him clean with two shots. 
Probably his angle and speed were dif-. 
ferent, or maybe that little telegraph 
system between eye, brain and finger 
did not function properly—there are 
so many things that can make hits and. 
misses interesting. 
This little mud-hole had certainly 
been a great discovery for us and we 
vowed never to mention it to anvone. 
If a gunner gets a good “killing” 
around here, and it becomes known, 
some of the other duck hunters will 
fairly trail him for weeks in an attempt 
to locate that particular spot. It 
proved so with us later, and we were 
obliged to tell one man that we got 
our birds from a different locality. The 
little place I am writing about has — 
long since dried up owing to an act 
of drainage by the owner in order to 
flood cranberry bogs. I looked in on 
it this fall and found it grassed over 
but the pleasant recollections still re- 
mained. 
Five “bee-liners’” were coming down 
the air trail when a slight movement 
by my companion sent them climbing 
skyward, and as they raced up at an 
angle my sixes caught one of them 
fair while Harold pulled off a pretty 
double, I missing with my _ second 
shot. 
We were far from the limit allowed, 
but we were enjoying every minute. 
It isn’t always the large bag of ducks — 
that satisfies, but the way in which 
they are taken—a pretty double—a 
difficult single, or a long hard crawl 
through scrub-oak or bayberry bush, 
and then that ‘feeling’? when at last 
you know you are within range, and 
you rise to press the trigger. I have 
staggered to my knees after one of 
those “long crawls” when my heart 
was beating like a trip-hammer and 
my eyes were so full of sweat that I 
couldn’t see to shoot. Particularly is 
this noticeable if one’s stomach 1s 
empty. 
LL at once the decoys emitted a 
series of startled squawks, and on 
looking up we perceived high overhead 
a large duck-hawk wheeling and lower- 
ing in ever-shortening circles; his black 
and white face strongly reminding me 
of a grinning skull—the emblem of 
death. Such a striking resemblance is 
truly a fitting likeness; for this pirate 
of the air is capable of overtaking and 
killing the fastest wild duck that flies. 
Tt will identify you.
