Warrens. Duke was second with Sociable Joe and Classic Dream finishing in a dead heat for third. Prince Bye Bye, owned by Lorne Tyndall of Clinton, finished fifth for Randy Henry. Windspun, a three-year- old pacing filly by Iron Rail - Carols' Camp, unbeaten in her last five starts, added another to her string of vic- tories with a 2:09 win for owner Alice Irene Colquhoun of London and driver Eldon Turcotte. Bill Woodburn finished se-` cond with Huron Skipper for Lisle Woodburn"of Parkhill. Silent Beat took a. new 2:06.4 pacing record in the second with Dennis Jewitt up for the Wayne Horner Stables of Clinton. This gives the , five-year-old • horse by Silent Majority three wins and two seconds from five lifetime starts. Jack Duckworth was fourth with Charlie Windsor for Charles, Allan and Ken Shelton of Goderich, while Centinare, owned by May and Walter Pepper of Clinton with driver Frank MacDonald by steve cooke Biazv orange is a good idea for hunters when, going after big game as everyone knows, but it's also a good idea to wear it when upland game hunting as well. Often, when chasing grouse or rabbits, you will find yourself' in thick cover where good visibility is non- existent. For safety's sake, both you and your partner should know where each other are, and a spot of blaze orange makes that possible, nine times out of ten. There are many stores around that carry those plastic vests that serve the purpose, but they are far trona ideal. I've used them in the past for deer hunting, and found there noisy and seldom able to withstand a.. full week of hunting. They do not breathe either, and I have come back in from aday afield soaked where the plastic vest was because the perspiration could not escape through my wool shirt. They are better than nothing, but there is. a much, superior product on the .market that you will find is much more satisfactory. • Burlington's Ten Mile Cloth is the trade name,for this material, and it has passed all the U.S. Government •tests with flying colours. A vest made from this .material is comfortable, soft, quiet, and ideal for its intended purpose. It will last for years, and if someone 'in your house is handy with a sewing machine, can be -quickly modified to include shell loops,. a compass 'pocket, etc. to make it truly functional for the type of :hunting you do. It, is not hard to get so used to it that you ' u feel nifressed" if you go hunting'and leave it behind. The redeeming feature, however, is that it's available from Canadian Tire Stores, and if they don't have one, they'll order it in for you. The Seaforth Store. haS.some 'on order now, and they should be in stock soon if you . want to have a look at them. The price 1 just under $15, I believe may seem steep; but when you consider the �,of,,years wear .you'll get out of 07,We not all ~t t tad.' And, if you compare it to some of the Wier cloth "Blaze Orange" vests around like the Bob Allen one I wear that probably retails for over $70 today, they are downright cheap. Have a good look at one if you're a hunter. You'll probably be impressed, especially if you've been fighting those plastic ones for years. ++ All serious duck hunters know that camouflage is • pretty important if you wont regular success, but prices for good camo outfits are really skyrocketing. There are, however, several "homemade" solutions that work quite well if you are willing to spend some spare time making them.. Camouflage netting can be made fairly inex- pensively using curtain material and Rit dyes. Stores that sell bulk drygoods usually keep a stock of net type curtain'material on hand in varying degrees of den- seness Just buy a length of this material, whatever you t' ..nk you need for a blind or full length cover, and tye-dy it using ,browns, blacks, and maybe a bit green. I've used a piece for the last couple of years found it very effective. Another solution is to use burlap, either the sheets of decorator burlap or old bags that don't have -any printing on them. Again, splash some black dye on it to break up that solid outline, and you're in business. Another solution is to revitalize one of your old hunting coats. Just about everyone has an old discard tucked away in their closet somewhere, or if not, old hydro parkas, etc. can often be found at the Salvation Army. Talk someone into sewing up split seams, holes in pockets, etc. and replacing buttons until the coat is serviceable again. The next step is to bleach the coat out and -or dye it until the desired shade of brown is obtained. I Brown base is best for duck hunters as the bulk of the season occurs after the grasses have died and the leaves have turned: If it looks too difficult to achieve the proper shade of brown, however, settle for a faded dull green. Once the base work has been done, all that remains is a leaf pattern to be put on the coat with a black laundry magic marker. Be sure to get a waterproof laundry marker, however, as most of the normal ones will run when they are wet. Your best bet for a design to follow is a current issue US. army camouflage pattern. A lot of research goes into the correct shape and size of these blobs,.so by copying this design, you will come up with a winner. An evening of watching T.V. while filling in black splot- ches will give you a serviceable camouflage jacket. It's best to start oft with a thin pattern initially, leaving room for it to he filled out until the desired effect is •:hed. If yzu give it a try, you'll find it's cheap and ,,,fc ctive, and may just give your duck huntinu that e, led hoost. took fifth.
