Many hunters came from out of town in addition to the local nim-rod- s. Hunting was good on the op-ening day but grew tougher on the following days as the pheas-ants grew warier. Wednesday the birds were reappearing to taunt hunters for another year. Most of the farms in west Mil-lard were posted 'for hospital hunt-ing, with permission to hunt there granted when the hunter wore the $2 badge. The badges sold like the proverbial hotcakes.
