Show THE Saturday, October 30, 1948 By ‘‘Shelly’’ Okerstrom Overheard in the disbursing office after the three o’clock rest period: é40eq a1,noA og : woppoy Mae: No. I’m McAuliffe. Well, go ahead and laugh. We thought it was darned funny! The Great D. O. Mystery Whois the person who calls on the telephone and asks “Is Pay there?’ (Meaning of course, to you uninitiated, Lieut Schriver, the paymaster.) Such salty talk has us landlubbers all confused. Next thing you know, we'll be “battening the hatches,’’ and instead of being addressed, ‘‘Hey, you!’’ we’ll hear ‘‘Avast, there!”’ Sporting News Duck-shootin’ papa (better known as Darrell Upp) recently traveled to a state game refuge (on his owntime, too!). However the game warden didn’t think Darrell could be trusted with a gun, so he decreed that the ‘shootin’ iron’’ be left with him, with the result that Mr. (civilian rolls) Upp, spent all day Sunday in wishful thinking, ‘‘watchin’ the ducks go by.’’ : We, the people, nominate Lieutenant Schriver for the Order of the Purple Heart on account of one wound received in the battle of Clearfield. For further details, see the sick friend that he claims he was visiting when the casualty occurred.

The half-snap jand the full-snap type of shot, are | rarely used in hunting pheasants jin Utah, because the coverfrequented by them hereis fairly open and allows time for a full swing. Another reason for frequent misses is that a large percentage, probably as high as ninety per cent of hunters have a full choke barrel on their gun. Actuallythis is an over-choke for pheasant hunting, as the majority of the birds flushed on opening daywill be from directly under your feet cr within twenty yards of the gun. The ideal boring for this range, is either the half or modified choke. The spread of a full choke barrel at twenty yards covers a circle of only about ten inches in diameter, whereas, the modified spread to eighteen or twenty inches. This gives you double spread and allows you to make greater errors in lead and still grass your bird.
