On opening day all squirrels
peek more or less boldly at the
hunter. Flirtation ceases about the
third shot, however, and from
there on bushies become steadily
harder to find. Near the end of the
season hunters may get the idea
they’ve cleaned out all the squir
rels. Don’t believe it. They’re still
there and all you have to do is
change your hunting tactics.
Below are four methods listed
by Lee Yeager in an article in
the November issue of Sports
Afield in which he discusses hunt
ing strategy to use during the
squirrel season:
Open stalking—Mpussy-footing”''
slowly and quietly through timber,
with frequent short stops in sha
dow of trees to look and listen.
Sit and wait—quiet waiting at
likely spots, usually at base of
large trees or similar cover; sel
dom more than 15 or 20 minutes
in a place.
Hide and wait—persistent wait
ing in good cover at key points
for' periods up to about one hour.
Wait on Travel Route—persis
tent waiting on squirrel “passes”
to and at food, such as wooded
lanes connecting timber and corn
field. Waiting period may be two
or three hours, sometimes longer.
A corn field is always top
squirrel pasture and it grows
practically everywhere over the
squirrel range. However, in some
parts of the Appalachians*'* the
South and even in the Ozark hills,
sizable cornless areas do occur. It
is in the bigger woods—everything
from a square mile up, and
especially up—that straight sitting
and waiting for squirrels after
about mid-October may fizzle out.
That’s because food is no longer
concentrated in quantities large
enough to hold big squirrel build
ups; the bushies have to scatter
out to feed.
The need for finding food pock
ets, or cornfields, late in the sea
son thus becomes perfectly plain.
Waiting on travel lanes, in the
vicinity of grain or peanut fields,
or at some untapped grape or
berry tangle is the most sure-fire
method of hunting squirrels that
I have found.
Food holds the key to good
squirrel shooting through the fall.
But comes December, and often
earlier, something else begins to
make the plumetailed folk take
notice. That’s love.
Love-smitten bushies make the
easiest shots in the woods. In
detecting their presence, your
ears serve you better than your
eyes. You’ll hear before you see
two to six animals cavorting
through the trees. The female will
be leading, pursued by the older
bucks, followed by the younger
males. So try for the last squirrel,
both as a conservation policy and
because his meat is more palat
able.

THE TENDERFOOT
By James Harsh
H E HAD the makings of a good
cowpoke, thought Dan Baker,
despite the city whiteness around
his young face and the timid way
he topped the Bar Z’s gentlest
horse. Rockets. It was a comical
sight and Dan leaned against the
corral and chuckled. Dan’s broth
er-in-law, Ridgely Parker, finally
squared himself away and was
sitting Rockets like ho might be
on top of ten tons of dynamite.
Just about the time Ridgely had
acquired the minimum amount of
confidence Les Wills, the foreman
fired his .45 over Rocket’s head
and the big grey took several mean
twists in the air and Ridgely Park
er was eating the dust that lay
thick on the floor of the corraL
“The darn gun went off by ac
cident, boss,” Les Wills grined
at Dan who was trying to keep a
straight face while helping Ridge
ly off the ground.
“Get at her again, boy. That’s
the only way you're ever going
to learn to ride a mean critter.”
The young man climbed on
again and began walking the ma^-e
around the corral. Dan and Les
walked toward the house, leaving
the tenderfoot to learn the tricks
of cowboying for himself.
Toward sundown a stranger rode
Into the Bar Z. Dan and Les rec
ognized Slick Dawson by the grim
set to his mouth and the way he
had of sitting his horse, almost as
if he had grown right out of the
saddle. The two men sat on the
porch beneath the cool shadows
of late afternoon and watched
Slick ride up to Ridgely who was
still jogging Rockets slowly around
the enclosure. There was a stillness
In the air and Dan and Les strained
against the quiet, trying to hear
what Slick had on his mind. They
figured It was trouble. Slick had
that reputation. ,
"You alone?” Slick Dawson
asked Ridgely. his eyes roaming
the surroundings as if looking for
someone.
“Yes.” The tenderfoot lied, not
knowing why.
‘T need a horse bad,” Slick said.
pointing to the swollen fetlock on
the big black he was riding. “1
don’t have any money, but If you
take an I.O.U. I’ll pay what I owe
when I’m through this way next
week.”
“Well, Mister, I don’t see how
I can do that. I don’t own these
horses .. . and I just couldn’t. .
Ridgely Parker was starring Into
the open barrel of a .45.
“Then I’ll just help myself to
the bag of bones you’re riding.
Mighty thoughtful of you to have
her all saddled and waiting tor
me.” Slick dropped off the black
and jerked Ridge out of the saddle
and dumped him on the ground.
Dan and Les rose together, but
they stood their ground. Dan
wanted to see the tenderfoot and
the horse thief against each other.
Ridgely moved against the cor
ral, fists clenched in anger as he
watched Slick Dawson mount Rock
ets. It was at the same moment
when Slick spurred Rockets in the
direction of the gate when the ten
derfoot picked up the loose plank
and slapped it with brute force
against the corral siding. It sound
ed like the report of a .45. Ridge
turned just in time to see Slick
Dawson reaching tor the thin air.
Rockets twisted In the late after
noon until he was sure his rider
was no longer on top. Ridge land
ed squarely on Slick and by the
time Dan and Les reached them
the fight was over.
Dan stood over the bruised horse
thief shaking his 5 head in disbe
lief. He turned toward Ridge.
“Plum dirty trick, boy, to leave
you here alone. But I wanted to
see if you could take a good scar
ing. I got to hand it to you, I never
figured you would guess Rocket’s
makes a fuss every time she hears
a loud noise. I reckon he can stay
tor good, Les. About time the Bar
Z had some brains around here.”
Ridge smiled. He’d never tell
Dan or Les that he’d slapped the
plank against the corral in a fit
of anger. He’d never tell them he
figured that Dan had hired Slick
to scare him
M Y WIFE thinks Pm getting too
fat. Perhaps I am a little
large compared to her 5 feet and
98 pounds. But after all. I’m 6
feet and 195 pounds of muscle,
even if she does say most of the
muscle is now around my middle.
As a result of her unreasonable
attitude, I am on a diet. To attempt
this torture was the only way to
keep her silent.
The first two days were not so
bad. I wasn’t really hungry- But,
man, that third day. I woke up
about 1 a. m. and patted my stom
ach and it was so hollow it sound
ed like a bass drum.
I sneaked out of bed and into
the kitchen without awaking her.
I opened the refrigerator and stood
there gazing in admiration at the
remains of the roasted chicken we
had had for dinner. (My part was
one thin slice of the breast—so
thin, in fact, could easily have read
a newspaper through it.)
Honestly, for all of three minutes
I stood there fighting that devil
called temptation. He won without
raising a sweat I reached for a
drumstick.
“Oh, no you don’t,” says ths
wife. “Come on. Rover, back to
bed with you. You’re on a diet,
remember?”
“Yes, my love,” I mumbled and
shuffled off to the bedroom.
You know, that woman doesn’t
trust me. She locked the bedroom
door and put the key under her
pillow.
Today is the fourth day and Pm
still on that diet. That is I’ll be on
the diet for another 5 minutes. As
soon as this column is finished I’m
going across the street to the res
taurant and order a steak.
I realize, of course, that if she
persists in my dieting it is going
to be very expensive. Three meals
of lettuce a day at home; Jwo T-
bone ?teaks between meals at the
restaurant.

Bible Comment:
Psalmists Realized
God's Providence
Existed in Nature
cannot read the story of
Jesus in the Gospel without
realizing how essentially the di
vine ministry was of earth, as
well as of heaven.
It was not in classrooms, nor
even in synagogues or temples,
that the most distinctive teach
ings of Jesus were given. It was
in the open, close to nature.
This was as it should have
been in that time in the genial,
outdoor atmosphere of that little
land of Palestine.
It was typical of the religion
in which Jesus had been brought
up, and of the Scriptures that He
knew so well. To the Hebrew
writers the heavens declared the
glory of God, and the firmament
showed His handiwork.
Psalm 19 spoke of a language
of nature, unspoken, without
words, but that nevertheless was
heard through all the earth, as
day unto day uttered speech and
night unto night showed knowl
edge.
Two things were very real to
the Psalmists and Prophets. One
was the law of God and His
providence in nature, the uni
verse a manifestation of law and
order.
The other was the law of God
in the heart, the assurance of
right and wrong in life and con
duct, and of man’s highest at
tainment only when he lived in
accordance with God's law of
righteousness.
A superficial sbserver might
say that ours is an age of the
out-of-doors, full of travel, ex
cursions, play, picnics and loaf
ing. But how much of religion
is there in it all?
It must be evident to any care
ful observer that the general
public has strayed far from the
essential Hebrew and Christian
view of God and nature.
It is not the 'religion of the
Dut-of-doors, but the irreligion
jf it, that mostly characterizes
our modern way.
How much in this, as in other
things, we need to learn from
hose who found a joy in God and
i pleasure in His world, that few f
ttain today!
