Hunter, Hunteit, hold your fire!
Do not explode that cartridge.
That's „ your neighbor, Mr.
Dwyer,
It's not a plump hen partridge.
All right. You don't like that
verse? How about this onc7
Along the line of smoky hills
The crimson hunters stand,
A -hundred thousand Bob's and
Bill's,
Their muskets in their hand.
They're in the svdamps , and
valleys, too,
As thick as grease in skillet;
They have but one ambition, to
See something move and kill it.
;1: *
Yes, gentle, all -suffering read-
er, I'm afraid that one of the
silliest. of Canada=s silly seasons
is upon us. The above doggerel
represents two of the attitudes
about hunting season which
prevail. They might be labelled
the Apprehensive and the Dis-
approving.
* * *
There are others. For ex-
ample:
Why can't we hunters shoot
from cars
And blast away on Sundays?
Each silly ' regulation mars
Our simple, joyous fun days.
* *: *:
This might be called the view-
point of that small group of
malformed individuals who give
the rest of us the creeps. They
enjoy killing for its own sake.
They will shoot 20 ducks when
the bag limit is eight. They
will shoot an owl or a turtle
or a cat, if nothing else is
,rnov'irg;.._
* ,:
I find myself uneasy in their
company. They could be term-
ed The Killers. They are not
hunters, _
:r *: *
(uite opposed to these queer
ones is another segment of our
population. 1 'came across a
typical group of this species
last Saturday when 1 dropped
girl_ at the pub for an ale. There
- they were, he-men all, in ,their
red caps, red jackets and red
faces, on about their eighth
round of beers. After another
couple of rounds, "they'd be
ready to fan out into, the woods,
and it would be every man'for
himself.
* u:, *
This type, and it is legion,
seldom kills anything more
dangerous than a crock or an
old "buddy. Just for the, sake
of 'euphony, let's call them The
Swillers. Their credo might go
thus:
-Hunting is the sport for us;
We're a manly, merry crew,
So why the ruckus and the fuss
When we bag a cow or two?

. Beseton .one 'side by The
Apprehensive and The Disap-
proving, on the other by The
Killers and The Swillers, the
real hunter has my- sympathy.
All he wants is to be allowed
to follow his favorite sport in
peace and with a modicum of
safety, and it's getting tougher
'all the time. If he were not
the simple, inarticulate type,
he might say:
Give me a crisp November day
With a little skiff of snow,
And a deer run, and a good gun,,
And you know where 'you can
go.
I don't Iike slaughter. But
I don't think every man who
shoots an animal is a depraved
monster, lusting for blood.

posing sign.
And VII never forget the day
I bagged my- biggest trophy—
the black bear. I was out hunt-
ing partridge. The birds had
me pretty rattled, jumping up
behind me with a great whir
and winging off, laughing over
their shoulders.
Suddenly,. out of -the corner
of my eye, I saw this huge,
black, menacing shape -crouched
on a tree limb. Quick as a flash,
I whirled, threw up my gun
and fired. Down he tumbled at
one shot. I felt both silly and
a little sick when my 400 -pound
black bear turned. out to be a
12 -ounce black qu.irrel. But
How things have changed
since Samuel Johnson wrote,
a couple of hundred years ago,
"Hunting was the labor of the
savages of North America, but
the amusement of .the gentle-
men of England." Or have
they?

Cracks Doviih On illega[Cutting
Huron County Council's agri-
culture and reforestation, com-
mittee ha$ ordered a crackdown
on the "thoughtless slatighter"
of small trees in Huron bush
and timberlands.
The county's three tree com-
missioners have been instruct-
ed to ,check all timber-eutting
and land -clearing operations 4n
the county for possible viola-
tions of tree -cutting regulations.
The Action. was sparked by.
reports trees were being cut be-
low ithe minimum size permit-
ted by bylaw. The illegal cut-
tings, said to be general across
the county, inyblved hoth own-
ers of bushlands and private
firms cutting trees on a tender
basis, the cemmittee was told.
Larry Scales of Stratford,
zone foreker with the depart-
ment of lands and forests, said
steps are being .taken now so
that legal action can be taken
against violators.
D-. H. Miles, Huron agricul-
tural representative, said yes-
terday that "some individuals"
are exploiting woodlots, "with-
out thought - He said,
this was being done while oth-
ers' were working at reforesta-
tion projects.
A minimum forest cover was
essential to soil conservation,
Mr. Miles said, particularly in
the present drought conditions.
Reports to the county com-
rnittee indicated that„,,,, people
were just trying to "get too
much out." of the tgberlands
they were elating, ,unty by-
laws specify the minimum dia,
meter and circumference Of
trees which can be cut for -com-
mercial purpcses.
The three tree commissioners
are- Hugh Hill of Goderictr,
