Rarpbling With Lucy

Hunting Is A Good Sport,..
And Still Is Around Bayfield
Harry Baker hurried over his business route on February
>27 and came home to have one . last look before the seasoij
ended., *)
■ ; Strapping, on his snow shoes he took his gun arid beagle,
“Spotty” to what was known aS “Moore’s Hili’’ in our young
day — now owned by Lindsay' Smith. He bagged? two 'cotton
tails and came (home; “Spotty’’ had started up a Jack ralbbit
and was still trailing it, Later; the beagle came home to its
kennel to enjoy the reward of toe.hunt ~ rabbit, ’
' “Wouldn’t you think’’, asked Harry, “that I’d. have had my
fill of hunting when I’ve been,out„every Saturday since: the,
season opened? But, no, I just couldn’t miss one mbre day.
Gape' is getting scarce here,.;too. ‘Parties-of 12 or more are
coming to this district "'from.' the. Windsor-Detrdit area on
hunts and are literally wiping out the wild life without , regard
to sportmanship. For/those who,have always enjoyed hunting
in their old haqnts, this is a tragedy.” ■ . •
Hubori' County Trappers’ Association has taken the matter
up with the authorities, Lucy ‘ learned. ’ ? ' .
' Harry began hunting about 50 years ago,, when as a boy
he acquired a 16-gauige’’9ho/tgun. He recalled going back to
Emily Osmond’s swamp one driy when’, thirteen years of age.
He had an old school bag hung on his shoulder for the game.
He took ajm at- a’* Great Honied, Owl perched high in a
tree and broke its wing so that-’/it tumbled down to earth.
Harry captured it and gat its feet-in'the "game”«. bag. He was
proceeding home and just got -out . on Cameron Street when
the owl struggled/and one of its' sharp claws went right
through the canvas eloth of. the’bag and Harry’s right thumb.
nail.-The pain wW' excruciating' but Harry held on •until he got
home. However, he adimlitted that if that owl had ever known
that it "had him by the thumb” it could 'have made its escape.
(It might .be explained, for toose hot fapiliar with awls that
they have four toes with strong sharp talons — two front and’
two back with1 one of the'latter reversible) . ’
Harry shut'the owl up in the pig house and fed it./That
is wheire 'Lucy remembehs; seeing it. He poked a- stick in at it
one day when.,he opened the. door to show it. How wickedly it
snapped its'curved bill, and turned its head so quickly, is what
Lucy chiefly recalls.'It was an angry bird, its yellow eyes
glaring fiercely at the spectators.
The wing healed, and one day after about a month, Harry
threw a rabbit carcass in far a treat for the owl.' The family
cat decided that she Wanted some of it, too, and managed to
open the door to get at it. So the Great Horned Owl escaped
to. its native haunts, and left a disappointed boy who, despite
its nature, had hoped to make a pet of the bird.
, While on the subject of owls, Lucy .has ascertained that.
there are 14.various species in Canada. Six.— the Screech
pwl, Great Horned Owl; Long-eared Qwl, Short-eared Owl,
Saw-whit Qwl and Barred Owl are permanent residents of
this district. The Barred Ow"l is often referred to as the Hoot
Owl since its call is heard more frequently than, others. Three
others are occasional visitors — the Barn Owl, Boreal Owl and"
Snowy Owl. . ■. f t' - ,
. On February 27, when Harry was out hunting, he saw 20
crows -perched up in an old Elim tree on “Moore’s Hill”. They ,
Were “buzzing” or perhaps one should call it mobbing an owl....
Wiith continuous loud cawing, they darted in iand out and took
care not to get too close. The oWl did not stir.
.On February 11, Harry, irj ;.pomipany with his sop-in-law
Chris Klaudi (Woodstock)' arid Hales Dresser went hunting
in the Blyth’ district with beagles “Spotty” ■ arid Klaudi’te
“Bubbles”.' Hany got a prize? bag that day — a snowshoe
rabbit or hare. They tare rather difficult to detect in the
winter as they, turn white. •
Lucy remembers seeing their tracks in the swamp when
a girl, and once she saw one before it had donned,its.‘White
coat. It had made its nest an leaves in some scrub at the foot
of a big beech tree. She wonders now which was more startled
— the hare to be awakened firom its nap by her cJirnbirig a
nearby rail fence, or Lucy by its sudden high jump and the
crackling of dry leaves so. dose;' to her. s
Hares sometimes referred to as phantom rabbits in winter,
have disappeared from the Barfield river area. Man has riot
killed them. They do not fraternize with cotton tails.
Reminiscent of the days of his youth, Hany enjoyed
skating op the river and out between 'the piers .the last Sun-.,
day afterrioon in February. Rose Baker accompanied her
husband. It Was the first time she had ever skated on the river,
. Then they tramped through trie swamp arid down to Jim
Cameron’s pines. Laden with snow, they were beautiful to
behold, blit walking without snow shoes, up to their knees,
they found not only exhilarating but tiring; These are some of
the pleasures in winter of those who enjoy the outdoors.
Hany has always been particularly alert to the signs of
nature. Seeing the first robin dp February 26,, he knows that
spring is just around the comer. It was fighting With a starling
over a rotten apple. Later, he spied it picking around the
grapevine at their home on Main Street. . 4 - ♦
Mrs. Robert Blair also reports seeing a robin on March 1, *
but. the 'weather so fair has not been conducive to song.
On Sunday, .Mrs. Bilair went picking pussy willows and
was surprised to find' them half but.
