HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1978-11-30, Page 6PAGE 6 —CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1978 naturally speaking by steve cooke Every once in a while, an exceptionally good outdoor look appears on the market and "The Complete Hunter's Almanac" is, without a doubt, one of the most concise and cora- prehensive books on hunting ever written. The author, Jerome J. Knap, is a man who knows what he is writing about, and can put it down on paper in an accurate, clear manner. The novice hunter will find this book to be an indispensable wealth of information and even the expert will find himself referring to it on a regular basis. The book is a full 284 pages long and covers almost every aspect of hunting there is to know. It is divided into three major sections for quick reference and easy reading. The first section, the Hunter, starts off with an excellent explanation of how hunting and con- servation walk hand in hand and describes how the sportsman was and still is the most im- portant factor in modern day conservation practices. This section goes on to list and describe the best choices in guns and am- munition for all game from snipe and woodcock up to the ferocious grizzly bear. It also describes how you should properly go about sighting in a rifle and how to pattern your shotgun. Bowhunters will also find a good deal of in- formation about their sport. If you've ever wondered about what breed of dog you should buy to match your style of hun- ting, you'll probably find the answer here. What gear you will need and the type of clothing required is explained in this section as well as how to plan your hunt. The chapter titled, "After The Shot", gives a complete rundown of procedures to follow in field dressing your quarry to insure the meat reaches the table in prime condition. Part 11 is entitled, "The Game", and gives detailed information on habits and habitat of all game birds and animals on the North American Continent. Hunting tips for each species are included as well as recommended calibers and guns. Part 111 gives the reader a quick rundown on game species available in every area of North America. If you are planning a vacation in Canada, the U.S. or Mexico, a quick look at this section will tell you whether or not a little bit of hunting can be included in your trip. If you are wondering about a Christmas present for someone who is a hunter, this ex- cellent book should be on the top of your list.

(Photo by Dave Sykes) sports Stangs take another victory by Brian Marriage Last Friday night in Goderich, the second place Port Elgin Bears visited the Clinton Mustangs, and a strong third period by the Stangs enabled them to skate off with a convincing 8-6 victory. The Mustangs currently hold down third place in Central OHA Junior C action, behind Kincardine Kinucks and Port Elgin, but the Stangs have a few games in hand. In last Friday night's game, power play goals seemed to be the answer as ten of the goals scored _were on power plays while Port Elgin's first goal was scored on a penalty shot. In the first period each team scored twice as Bill Lewis and Paul Helesic were the Clinton marksmen. During the second period, Port Elgin out- scored the locals three goals to two. Bill Lewis scored his second of the night and Mustang scoring leader Tim McLean notched the other marker. Port Elgin went ahead early in the third period 6- 4 before the Stangs roared back with four straight goals to finish off the Bears. Third period goals for the Stangs were scored by Bill Lewis, with his third, Paul Helesic with his second, and Phil Arthur and Neil Colquhoun with singles. The Mustangs will be in action again this weekend with two home games, that will be played in Blyth. On Friday night, starting at 9 p.m. the Walkerton Black Hawks will make their first appearance of the season and on Sunday at Blyth again, the Port Elgin Bears will make their second appearance. This game will start at 4:30 p.m. instead of an evening appearance. The Mustangs are currently 6-1-2 in the league and a pair of weekend victories would enable them to take over second place and challenge the Kinucks for the lead. 0 By Lois Oribbingp Merrywood Hoot, owned by Nancy Holmes of Clinton, trotted to his fifth win of the year at Windsor Raceway on November 22.
