Seven Easy Hunting' Lessons Deer Season opens October 19 and already many of the local hunters and would-be hunters are coming down with "buck fever". There is no known cure for this fever except a trip to the hills. Many hunters are oiling those rifles and practicing shots at imagined imag-ined targets. Many housewives are Lesson No. 1 Examine this picture pic-ture carefully, hunters, This is a! dog. Like a deer, a dog has four! legs and fur all over his body. Un- j like a deer, a dog does not have horns (those lo.ng branch-like j things that stick out of a deer's head). A dog most often has a Lesson No. 2Hun.ters, you are now going to learn about a horse. Study this picture well. A horse has four legs, too. It has a long tail with hair on it and there is hair bunched up on top of its neck (the neck is the part of the body that connects the head to the body). The hair on the neck is a Lesson No. 3--This is a pig. You may or may not see a pig in the hills. A pig has four legs and a cute skinny tail that forms a curl up over its back. A pig says "oink, oink". A deer seldom, if ever, says "oink". If you see a pig in the forest for-est and it looks as tall as a deer it could be you are standing on your knees in a hole. Check your standing position carefully before you fire. Lesson No. 4 Examine this carefully. care-fully. This is a mugshot of a goat. It could be confused with a deer unless you get close enough to smell. Sniff carefully. A goat has four legs and has horns. Hunters, study this picture carefully. See how the goat's horns are shaped? A deer's horns are never shaped in this manner. A goat may wander into your camp and eat all your paper sacks (even that little brown one) or tin cans. A deer never eats paper sack and tin cans. If you see an animal eating a tin can don't shoot. It won't be a deer. Goats are even scarcer than deer in these parts and a whole lot( meaner.

DON'T SHOOT! mane. A horse doesn't bark like a dog nor does it wag its tail , it swishes its tail) and it has no horns like a deer. If you meet one of these critters in the hills and if you're still confused offer it some sugar. If it takes the sugar then you know it isn't a deer and you MUST NOT shoot! Lesson No. 5-This picture doesn't take much study as it is not of an animal but ofa shed. Most hunters can hit a building as big as this shed if they are on the inside. But if you're outside, don't shoot, anyway. You may hit it and the bullet may go right through striking strik-ing a horse or other animal. Or the bullet may go clear thru the build-ding build-ding and strike another person aiming at the shed from the opposite oppo-site side. In case you see a shed on your trip and you can't recognize it, stop and listen carefully. You will probably hear a creaking sound that is caused by a swinging door. Deer don't have doors and therefore there-fore never creak. Lesson No. 6 Study this carefully. care-fully. This is a man. A man's easily distinguishable from a deer for he has only two legs. If he's wise he won't be in the woods during the hunt. If he's unwise, look for other things. A man wears clothes. A deer does not. A man walks upright, up-right, most of the time. But if he's crawling, don't shoot until you see the whites of his eyes. Ask him: "Are you a man?" If he says "yes" don't shoot, for he probably will be a man. No other animal says "yes" quite like a man. If he shoots you be comforted in knowing that he will soon discover his mistake. mm HOSPITAL NOTES Inga Peterson, medical, admitted Oct. 13.
