Well, I'll just have to keep on being unsporting and console myself with the pleasure I get and the fact that I catch only a reasonable amount of fish. 
The OPA has never heard of yellow jackets or their grubs and a sack, supposedly containing a pound of comb, sells for $2.50 or $3.

Bear Hunters Growl;

there was no joy in the breasls of the mountain hunters and

Who Caught This One? 
W. H. (Barney) O'Dell is an Atlanta Western Union man. His messages are straight. And his fishing trips are short. The other night 
Barney was casting in the dark of a thin new moon. He had two yearling bass to his credit on a 2000 Creek Chub Darter. 
Barney decided to try something noisier than the popping frog. 
So he ,tied on a frog finish Jitterbug. On his very first pitch a bronco telescoped his line and lure. Barney struck back so fast his line parted right at the reel. He plopped down in the boat so downcast he called 
it a night. So did his partner, Roy Scott. "I got to thinking about that fish," O'Dell said. "And it was hard 
to sleep." O'Dell knew the fish was gone, but he figured here was the lure he'd been looking for 20 years. So early next morning he called 
Scott on the phone. He wanted that Jitterbug back. Scott, who lived near the lake, quickly found the line-a floating 
piece of nylon, It was no trouble paddling to the lure. When he reached down to get it, the bass headed for open water. The line whined through his hand, but he managed to turn the fish. He tied the line to the boat and horsed the bass aboard. 
It was a six-pounder-Barney's biggest fish in 10 years. The big question is-who caught the bass. Well, since Scott ate him , we're 
giving the catch to O'Dell. Now if you don't believe this story, Barney has his Jitterbug- 
scars and all-to prove it.

can get-on and off the ground. These guns work well and will 
make satisfactory weapons if they are equipped with a Cutts compensator. This adds four inches to the barrel and, the comp reduces r eco il about 35 per cent. A Polychoke will add about ONE inch to the length. Our recommendation is a  general-purpose Cutts for the sawed-off guns. This gives a 24inch barrel, and assures an even pattern for upland shooting up to 45 yards, which is about the maximum killing range in most cases.

Next to a bird dog that will point 'em, catch 'em, fetch 'em and pick 'em, Jack Simpson, of Atlanta, has found the dog that comes closest to solving the shell problem. 
Simpson, it seems, was marsh h en hunting off the Georgia coast. The tide was low and he was having trouble flu shing the birds. But he found an old setter, a true coastwise Old Salt that drove the rail s right over Simpson's gun. If he spotted a hen that was reluct-

Seeds will be made available at hardware a n d sporting goods 
 
stores. First project of the association 
 
was the construction of a rearing 
 
pool on Armuchee Creek. The 
 
three-quarter acre pond cost $425 
 
and  since it completion 80,000 
 
legal-sized bass, bream and shell- 
 
crackers have been taken from 'it 
 
and placed in running waters. 
 
The club recently acquired an- 
 
other holding pool of 1 1-3 acres 
 
from the county, and 60,000 fish 
 
were taken from a lake owned by 
 
the Darlington School. These were 
 
liberated in Big Cedar Creek, Ar- 
 
muchee Creek, Little Armuchee, 
 
john's Creek and West Armuchee. 
 
500 MEMBERS SOUGHT The association has 150 mem- 
bers and will go after at least 350 more. Notable progress has been made in game law enforcement since its organization. The association has obtained the cooperation of the courts and virtually every case coming before grand juries and judges has resulted in a conviction of the defendant. 
Ranger A. C. Sanders has received full cooperation from the association and it is believed that violations in thi& area are at an 
all-time low. 
Newest project of the organization is the inauguration of a field trial for gun dogs. Club officials' hope to make this an annual event and to expand the trial into a large amateur stake next year.

A man, a dog and a gun! There is something in this 
combination that only a hunter, his dog and his gun can ever understand. When the summer grass is turned brown and the clean air holds a chill breath, the open spaces beckon hunters and outdoorsmen. 
To .drink in the glory of a perfect point in the corner of the weed field is a thrill that no man ever forgets. The bounties of Nature which are yours are made richer by a pointing dog, whether he's bred in the purple, or just a plain cold-blood.

3-Way Plague 
MOULTRIE, Ga.- A triplethreat outdoors plague, set to 
work by the collaboration of rabid foxes, pre-season quail hunters and fish dynamiters, has been imposed on Colquitt county in recent weeks. 
Numerous reports of violations of the game laws provoked a plea for "more and better ranger service" by the Colquitt County Conservation Club. President A. P. Harper said that one wildlife ranger has to patrol both Worth and Colquitt counties, and "this makes it virtually impossible for him to do much toward halting the violators." Worth and Colquitt are among the largest counties of the state. 
Meanwhile, a campaign to stop dynamiters of fish in Little Rover and Warrior Creek, has been started by aroused citizens. A cash reward totaling $175 has been offered by Elmon Vickers, John

Ready for Quail, private pond is a great teacher of 
this simple conservation problem. The many ponds already con- 
 
Deer and Turk~y structed and now being built take 
much of the pressure off the streams and larger lakes. Each 
 
pond owner generally allows a dozen or so of his friends to use his lake. The result is that the streams get a rest and a chance to restock themselves. 
 
November is the big month for hunters in Georgia. Seasons on all upland game except doves will be open and the shooting on waterfowl becomes legal. 
 
Of course there are still a good many fish hogs in this state who get their fish by dynamiting, seining, poisoning and other illegal methods. But the ranks of the fish thief are growing thinner. The private pond and its owner will go a long way toward helping to entirely exterminate this particular class of undesirable citizen. 
 
Up to November 1 the only legal targets for game were rabbits, 
squirrels, marsh hens, raccoons, opposums a n d foxes. The season on deer in South Georgia counties opens November 1, but gunners

ii COWS COME HOME! 
BRING BIG BUCK 
Many a hunter has had his most successful experiences while in pajamas. But only to discover, upon sad awakening, that it was all a dream. Not so, though, with Tommie Allen, of Jackson Tennessee. Allen had sworn to get his buck if he had to wait till the cows came home.... 
He didn't realize how accurate was his prediction. Mrs. Allen woke her husband one morning. "Get up and grab your gun," she yelled, "A big buck is up with the 
cows." Allen fumbled a load of buck- 
shot into his gun, and cracked down from the bedroom door. He got his buck, and it was the last day of the deer season.

contents and other factors were determined. All this data was written on separate envelopes, into which were placed scales from each game fish. These would later tell the fisheries experts how old each fish was while  the stomach contents would give them data on the available food in the lake. All this data would later be compared with similar facts collected in similar experiments made in other reservoirs. 
The fish removed from Chickamauga were about 60% shad, 20% drum and the other 20% were made up of carp, buffalo, cat, with two black bass, five crappies and three saugar _pike.

Work was stopped on the building after it was better than 75% complete. Low expects to be able to take care of 36 lodgers at a time and serve considerably more than this number . in the dining rooms. There seems to be no question that the building will be completed and fully furnished by the time the next fishing season rolls around.

bigmouth bass were taken here 
last week by, Harry and Jack 
Hearn, their father, R. P. Hearn, 
and Roy Petree, ~of Atlanta. A 
three-pounder, taken by Harry 
Hearn had a 6/ 0 hook in its upper 
lip, and from the hook dangled a
