THURSDAY. OCTOBER 26. 1961
,---- The Outdoorsrnan
Saturday marks the opening of small game season in
Pennsylvania. Beginning then hunters may take rabbits,
grouse, male ringneck pheasants, red, grey, and fox squirrels,
quail and wild turkeys.
As is the case with most hunters, the past few weeks of
crisp fall weather and colorful autumn scenery has made Saturday
a long-awaited day for me.
Hunting while at Penn State, however, poses several problems.
First. for, students living in resident halls there's the problem of
where to store a shotgun or rifle. In this case, the regulation ap
plies to on-campus living areas only and guns can be stored any
place off campus—such as a friend's private room or a fraternity.
(In addition, the Outing Club provides facilities to store a limited
number of guns and rifles.)
Along this line, it should be noted that the law prohibits trans
portation of any gun without the possession of a hunting license.
Another problem of student hunters is finding a place to hunt
in the general vicinity of the University which
affords a reasonable assurance of success. In re
sponse to' this problem, I'll recommend several
general areas within 1015 miles of campus where
small game is likely to be found.
In hunting any of the areas that I'll mention,
great care must be taken not to abuse hunting
privileges. Safety zones and game preserve areas,
are relatively numerous and. must be avoided.
Permission should always be obtained when hunt
ing in privately owned areas.
Safety practices are of the utmost importance,
as most of the land surrounding the University
is heavily hunted.
For rabbits, ringnecks, and squirrels I'll mention three general
areas which I've found . to be consistently good game areas.
The vicinity of the Benner Spring Fish Research Center is
excellent ringneck country. To get there, go past the "Y" on Benner
Pike, turn left at Shiloh Church and follow the Fish Commission
signs to the research station. Be especially careful here of posted
ground.
Near the University airport is a hot spot for rabbits and ring
necks. To get to the area, follow the asphalt road which is behind
Beaver Stadium. The road eventually meets Rout 550 near Fill
more. The entire landscape between the University and this
intersection is good hunting ground. The area closer to the inter
section has the edge, though, since it isn't as heavily hunted.
Finally, there is an area just beyond Houserville which is good
for rabbits, ringnecks or squirrels. Beyond Houserville, on the
Houserville Road, there is a bridge followed in close succession by
two ninety degree right turns. At the second turn, a gravel road
veers off to the left. Follow this unpaved road for one mile and
you're in good hunting territory.
Turkey hunters in Centre County have some of the state's
most heavily populated turkey areas at their doorstep.
Turkey hunting, remember, is an art in itself and good scout
ing of an area is necessary before any measure of hunting success
can be expected. Turkey are among the wariest and most cunning
of our game birds. A successful hunt calls upon all the skills of
the hunter—careful, quiet stalking, motionless sitting, knowledge
of the terrain, and pinpoint shooting accuracy.
The only place in this vicinity where I've actually seen turkeys
is near Centre Hall. Turn left at Centre Hall toward Rebersburg.
On the left of the road, along the base of what is still part of Mount
Nittany, is some excellent forage area which is perfect for turkeys.
The terrain contains many cuts and draws. It is characterized
by many spots where pine forests continue directly to the base o
the mountain and then thin out into little clearings. In these draws
and moist, spring-filled pine stands, signs of turkeys are everywhere.
Walk around in these pixies till you see signs of turkeys and
your chances are pretty good for running into a bird or two.
Grouse are fairly abundant in these pine glens, too.
Another place where I've seen sign of turkeys is on the e other
side of Mount Nittany near the Rockview State Correction Institute
grounds. Here again, careful selection of a stand will determine
success or failure.
The thought of another hunting season always fills me with
the desire to go tramping aimlessly through the colorful woods and
fields. Tramping in search of, not only game, but the warm, relaxed
feeling of satisfaction I get after a day spent in the open fields and
outdoor air. I hope you enjoy this season as much as I'm going to.

Associated Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK (JP) Notre Dame
and Louisiana State are the top
college football teams in most
danger of getting their noses
bloodied this weekend. Also keep
an eye on Pitt, a sleeping giant
ready to pull an upset.
Last week the score was 45 of
54 for .848. Now goes another
flight into outer space:
Penn Slate 21, California 13:
The Nittany Lions came of age
against Syracuse last week.

back mood and the Irish are due
for a letdown.
Florida 18, Louisiana State 7:
The Gators' multiple offense fi
nally gets clicking. .
