Defensively, the

season's a long way to go

I've often marvelled at the change in colour of
the leaves in fall, and like so many other people,
have often made comments like, "A good frost
will make them change." Well, over the
weekend, I picked up an article which explained
in detail what really happens, and I was quite
surprised to learn the truth. unfortunately,
just skim over the article, and then set it aside,
planning to bring it home with me to study in
depth, but in the frantic pace we were setting, I
forgot all about it. I will explain as much as I can
remember to you, but by no means should you
accept this as the absolute truth. It is just a
general concept of what does happen.
The leaves on trees contain certain substances
which we all know about that act as pigments
giving them their characteristic colours.
Chlorophyll, of course, is one of these substances
and is responsible for the lush green foliage we
see all summer. One of the other substances
present in most leaves is carotine which
produces a typical orange or yellow colour.
There are of course other elements which
produce additional colours, but these are the two
I will use to demonstrate the theory.
What, in fact, happens is that each of these
substances has a "life span" and the colour of
the leaf corresponds to whichever one is
dominant 'at any period of time.. During the
spring and summer, chlorophyll is produced in
the greatest amount and since it is dominant, the
green colour abounds. As it nears the end of its
life span in the fall, carotine production over-
takes the chlorophyll and gives us the bright
orange and yellow hues we see on the trees. •
Eventually, even the carotine content falls off,
and we_wind up with. th.P dried brown levies we
have to rake off the lawn. Frost, apparently, has
no affect on the/ actual colour change, but can
cause the leaves to drop earlier than they nor-
mally would have;
As I mentioned, this is a rather unscientific'
explanation as compared to the original article I'
read, which they explained in more detail the
actual changes; and pointed out differences
between individual'trees and species of trees..If I
remember right, maples generally tended to
oranges and yellows while oaks were more on the
red side. This brief explanation will give you the
general idea, however, so if you •see a' more
detailed explanation- you may sit up and take
notice.
+. + + .
Everyone believes that the plains Indians lived
mainly on buffalo and the early settlers in
eastern Canada and the U.S. sat down to a roast
of venison each everting. In actual fact, prairie
dog was a main item on the Indians' menu and
squirrel was a stapTe for the early settlers. Jilst
about everyone has heard about the famous
Kentucky squirrel rifles.
Well, those settlers weren't so dumb. A big;
fat, nut -fed, fall squirrel is some of the finest
eating you will ever have, and even though those
massive nut forests of bygone days have long
since disappeared, you• can still enjoy a
toothsome meal of plur'np, corn -fed, black
squirrel.
Squirrel hunting can be difficult and
frustrating if you don't know how to go about it
properly, and in some areas of the southern
states, it is considered an art all to itself.
Squirrel hunting has all the elements of a big
game stalk along with the satisfaction that
success is relatively assured, once you know
what you're doing. It also has the added ad-
vantage of getting yoiu afield on those crisp,
beautiful fall days and "tuning up your bush eyes
and senses" for the big moose or deer hunt
coming up.
The best method I've found is to hunt with a
partner that you know well. The trick is to
separate and move slowly through the forest
about 40 yards apart, scanning the tree tops
between you. What generally happens is that old
bushytail will spot one of you first and scurry
around the tree to hide, presenting a good target
for the other hunter. The one that makes the
most'fioise will scare the most. squirrels, giving
his partner the most opportunities. Therefore,
the idea'is to be stealthier than your companion,
and the more careful you both are, the more
you'll see. It sounds easy, but in practice it is.
quite difficult and a sharp eye is required at all
times.
If srou decide to go and give it a try, and "get
lucky", just use your favorite rabbit recipe to
prepare a fabulous meal. 1 guarantee you'll be
nut again on your next dtty off.
