Do's and Dont's on Dove Hunting Now that the 1973 hunting season on mourning doves is at hand, assistant county agent N. Alan Bair suggests the following list of do’s and don’ts. Do’s on Hunting Hunt safely! Nothing can mar a hunting trip like a hunting ac cident. Get permission from the landowner before hunting. In troduce yourself. Get to know the landowner. He will appreciate knowing who is doing all the shooting. Thank the landowner before leaving and offer to share your bag with him. Use a retrieving dog if possible. Doves are difficult to find in practically all kinds of cover.

Hollinger & Son INTERNATIONAL QUALITY PARTS FACTORY TRAINED SERVICE MEN bag more quickly and save birds for the next day or another hunter. Mark each downed bird, even if you have a dog. The dog may not always see a bird fall. Help the dog out. You are a team, you know! Make a reasonable attempt to retrieve lost birds. Search for lost birds for at least a half hour before giving up in order to be “reasonable.” Take some water along for the dog. He can get awfully hot on a bright September afternoon. Try to enjoy the experience even if you don’t kill any birds. It is possible and it’s the mark of a true sportsman.

Nothing can be more an noying and unnerving than hearing shot clatter against a window or metal barn roof as it falls. Don’t leave a pile of plastic shotshell cases when you leave. Some hunters need a lot dJcammo to get their limit. Leaving all the empty shotshells behind amounts to littering. Don’t completely dress your birds in the field leaving feathers, entrails and heads behind. The law requires that one fully feathered wing remain attached while the birds are being tran sported. Don’t try for doubles or triples if you don’t have a dog. In variably you will lose one or more of the birds, especially if they fall in heavy cover. Mark singles down, retrieve them, then worry about your next bird. Don’t even shoot at birds that you know will fall in crop fields where hunters are not permitted, and refrain from shooting at birds that will drop in water unless you are ready for a swim. Don’t shoot at birds sitting on wires or in trees. This really does very little or nothing to improve your wing shooting. Don’t forget that the hunter is not very popular in many circles today. Let’s try to behave like the gentlemen that most of us are. - HOURS - Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 15,1973 Friends Aid Injured Former Some Lancaster countians showed they will help a friend in need over the past few days.
