Another trip took them to Black
Beard’s Island, on the Georgia
coast, a legendary hideaway of the
notorious high seas pirate. Hunters
had to be on the stands before
daylight, setting off while the moon
was still shining, but were for
bidden to shoot before 9 a.m.
Huge, ancient oak trees cover
much of the forested, swampy
island, and some of the Hare’s
hunting companions came back
with tales of seeing water moc
casins slithering through the
marshy grass. While Clyde bagged
his limit of two, Mabel found her
mark only once.
“Hunting isn’t as much work
using a bow,” is Mabel’s
assessment of archery. “Instead of
walking after the game, you wait
for it; plus there’s the challenge of
letting game get very close.”
When that arrow does leave the
bow, she wants to be very sure that
the hit will be a lethal one, not just
an injury which cripples the deer.
Because of that standard, and in
spite of her expertise at distances,
Mabel sits tight until a deer is
within 15 to 20 yards, closer than
she did in earlier years.
Both she and Clyde are also
extremely selective, shooting only
mature animals, and never small,

makes mark
or young, deer.
Once her target is hit, she walks
for up to 30 minutes before giving
chase. It’s a practice Clyde taught
her from the first years of archery.
A stricken deer, if chased im
mediately, will flee often great
distances. With no one in pursuit,
the animal usually travels just a
short way and then lies down.
Even the best shots, sometimes,
are simply left go.
While in a stand once, Mabel
watched as a partially-grown fawn
worked its way from the woods
toward a stand of apple trees, the
mother wanly following. Able to
see the ribs protruding on the
gaunt, still-nursing, doe, Mabel left
the bow untouched.
“Her baby needed her much
more than I did.”
Archery excellence has won the
Hare’s an array of trophies and
awards which dot their farmhouse,
along with mounts of very special
trophy deer.
One is Mabel’s first, a spike buck
taken in Lycoming County. Others
are award-winning specimens,
including her 10-point whitetail
from Eastern Shore which won
Mabel the Maryland competition
in 1970.
With archery season now history
tor this year, the Hare’s have both
meat and memories of still another
*175 per denture
hunt. Some of the venison will be
used in Mabel’s favorite ’ham”
recipe. She roasts a whole ' ham”
portion of the leg, with pineapples,
in a slow to moderate oven for
several hours Sliced cold, this
venison makes excellent sandwich
and cold-cut type meat Other
portions become roasts, stew
meat, chops and spicy bologna.
Although thousands of other
farmers still await rifle season for
whitetails, Mabel Hare’s advice
from behind the bowstring is just
as viable applied to the butt of a
mmrod’s firearm. Sit Be quiet.
Have patience.

One of Mabel's major summertime chores is keeping the expanse of lawn around the
farm buildings trim. Clyde's custom-built gang mowers, powered from the tractor
flywheel, take a wide bite of grass with each bite.
