The fair will begin on Sept. 9th and run through September Nick Sisley. Nick pointed out that some shooters put the wrong kind of reliance on er modern rifles and telescopic sights. Such gear has several fine purposes, none of which is to let hunters neglect learning to stalk within reasonable range of game (or learning to call some types of game within reasonable range). These skills are half the fun of hunting. But if you have mastered the accuracy problem with a high-powscope, its also a challenge to stalk away from a chuck until you reach the desired range. Having mentioned farmers who invited me to hunt on their land, I'll now chance some irate letters by grinding a favorite axe: Land owners are human beings in spite of currently fashionable myths to the contrary. The sportsman who always asks an owner's permission to hunt, and then exercises care, consideration, safety, plain courtesy, is likely to be welcomed on a duck blind. Now, however, its time to think about summer. To a lot of rifle hunters that means varmints: woodchucks, rockchucks, prairie dogs, coyotes, bobcats or whatever you may hunt in your area. I recall a summer long ago in Minnesota when a farmer paid me a penny a gopher to defend his domain from invasion. It seemed like big money until I bought my second box of .22s.
