Lush Vegetation
Will Provide
Wildlife Cover
Hunters in Pennsylvania this
season will find considerably
more cover for wildlife than
during the past several
drought-stricken years.
Because rainfall has been
near normal levels in the west
ern part of the state this year
and several inches above nor
mal in the central and eastern
sections of the commonwealth,
there is lush vegetation near
ly everywhere.
Woo d c h uck hunters have
found it difficult to spot their
quarry ,due to rapid regrowth
of mowed fields this summer.
Dove hunters discovered in the
early days of the season that
downed birds were hard to
find. It all adds up to tougher
hunting conditions this fall,
and it will add some problems
too.
, The Pennsylvania Game
Commission this week advised
hunters that it will be to their
benefit to make greater use of
dogs When hunting in dense
cover, dogs will find more,
game than hunters who depend
entirely on their own ability
to flush, their quarry. And af
ter a sportsman has connected
on a shot, it is usually much
easier to retrieve the game if
a dog is along to help locate
it.
Of course, a hunter can’t ex
pect to purchase a dog a few
days before the season opens
and get instantaneous results
Neither will a hunter who now
has a dog fare any better un
less the dog is trained.
Now is the time to act If a
hunter desires a dog, it should
be acquired, now, and training
should start immediately if it
is to be effective during the
small game seasons which open
next month. Time is requued
for a dog and his master to
get to know each other, to be
come accustomed to the habits
of each other, and to develop
into an efficient team. Any way
