A of I With Joe Jones The 24th dawned bright and clear a perfect day for a pheasant hunt. This however was an open dne day for ducks, in spite of the fact that the duck weath er occurred during the pheasant season Mai Birch from the Ana lysis Office cruised up about 9:30 a.m. wear Birch ing a grin and appropriate duck hunting gear, and a couple of hours later we were paddling our rubber canoe into the marshes at Bear River Refuge. We tossed out the decoys at about 11:50 a.m., found a couple of good musk-ra- t mounds and waited for what we supposed would be a pretty slow hunt. Things didn't work out that way, tnough. The ducks cooperated pretty well and Mai's shooting was tops. ; This combination enabled us to" put 10 .ducks in the bag by .quitting time. And by the way, if you ever want to thoroughly enjoy a day in the field, get that Birch boy to accompany you. When he isn't making impossible shots standing on his head on a muskrat mound, he's busy being a very companionable guy. This hunting business is by no means limited to the male gender according to Jovce Jensen of the Civilian Personnel section. Joyce is tZd r til taken her share of game this year She has hunted enough to experi ence a lot of the thrills that go with shooting, and, we might add, some of the chills like those one gets from parking his posterior on a wet muskrat mound for a few hours. Charlie Blanpied cornered yours truly in the hall the other day and said that he was one peasant that did get pheasants. Charlie said that after many weary miles with that weighty weapon of his performing the coup de grace, he, his boy, and a couple of the Jones boys (no relation) filled up. We onlv wish more of us could say the same. Fact and Fiction You know there's alwavs a Int nf discussion among gunners concern ing ballistics and other relator! suh. jects connected with guns. A lot or guys and gals know plenty about the guns they shoot, but there are many of us who have been wnniH on old woodsmen's tales which sometimes contain a erood deal nf ficion sprinkled with the facts. Take barrel leneth of for example. Do vou knnw thof practiaclly speaking there isn't very much difference at all in the ballistic results obtained from very short and verv lone barrels? A 26 inch full choke barrel mav shont just as hard and give as good patterns as the 32 inch full choke barrel, if the load used in both barrels is the same. The onlv ronliv significant thine about the lnnr a veteran scattergunner, and has barrels is that they have longer sighting planes and, thus, may be pointed more accurately.
