Swaths are cut through the woods, by Leighton Scott An increasingly popular after- noon's’ fun in the way-back Back Mountain is the Game Commission tour of Gamelands 57, 38,000 wild acres of state-regulated land sort of behind Noxen and up into Sullivan County. Gamelands 57 is also the basin of the Mehoopany Creek and such exotic tributeries as Possum and South: brooks. Adjoining the land is 37,000 ‘more acres, identically wild, comprising Gamelands 13, the total presenting such a wilderness that an imprudent hunter might never find his way out. Indeed, as Ed Gdosky, genial Game Protector and guide of last week's tour, explained, until bulldozers had plowed longcrisscrossing strip-cuts through the woods, he hesitated to venture too far back himself. Now though, it is pretty hard to walk straight for many miles without eventually hitting a cut or a road. We started from Ricketts Gate, above the Red Rock Air Force Base, about ten cars and jeeps, and several trucks. Some people in the tour knew ‘the land well, a few old-timers recalling lumbering days. Art Kit- chen, in fact, used to be postmaster at the now extinct village of Moun- tain Springs. Others in the party came to look over the game situation for this sea- son, or maybe to take pictures if a good shot presented itself. We completed the cirenit in about four hours, with occasional stops for Ed and Walter Malinowski, food and cover foreman, to explain things. The ‘trick, as I discovered, is to ride in the back of the Commission's truck, ‘from which you are afforded the best camera shots and a running commentary from Ed and all ‘the out-doorsmen riding with you. I felt I could go any Indian a close second in woodsmanship when we had finished the afternoon. In my truck were Joe and Gerard Kipp, Harry Carey, Ed Gilmer Sr. and Ed Gilmer Jr., Dave Williams, Glenn Williams, and Fred Jones. I met a whole contingent from Sweet Valley —Ord Trumbower, Preston and Kathy Mingus, and Charles Long, Miralie, Wanda, and | Jan. Also: Wilson Ryman, Dan Koz- | ick, Mal Kitchen, Jim Hopple, and Tony Hudak, as well as ‘many I didn’t get a chance to talk to. : Wild Ride oi | An unscheduled highlight of the! trip for four of us was a jolly ride | down the mountain trail in a wildly over-reving Power Wagon, which | was our conveyance for the start of the trip. The motor/threw a fit of mechanical enthusiasm after many years of loyal effort for the Common- | wealth, and decided to go for broke. Luckily the better part of the ride ed by shreds of bark and budding, animals. Game protectors keep a weather eve on the berry bushes to deter- mine if the deer and birds are going to have anything to eat. Game ‘Spotted Well into the hinterland we spot- ted some red foxes, and Ed said it was in this area he had shot a bob- cat recently. Camera bugs fell over each other to get a picture of a doe standing in the road ahead of our truck. But she was standing square into the sun. A mile or so beyond, we ground to a halt, jumped out of the truck, and scrambled into the brush; chas- ing wild turkeys with cameras. Be- fore hunting season the wild turkey is surely the stupidest creature a- live, preferring to walk than to fly. All the birds simply maintained a careful lead on us, and when we hemmed them in, they ran every which way to get out before taking to the air. Other sights we enjoyed were the wheat strips planted by the Com- wood-duck boxes built by interested naturalists, beaver dams-some trap- ped out and some going strong. On a lake called the Meadows, we saw some mallard : ducks, a strategic beaver dam, and the Sam Kittle family fishing. ...
