11 ° hs Hunting continues By JANE C. BOLGER Staff Correspondent The woods are still bright with the fluorescent orange. flash of deer hunters in this final week of the 1983 antler season as hundreds of hunt- ers continue in pursuit of the elusive four legged prize. “There don’t seem to be many deer out there,” said several disap- pointed local hunters disputing the Pa. Game Commission’s claim that there should be a bigger herd this year because of the mild weather of last winter. “All I see are doe,” was another common complaint followed by spir- ited protests about how doe licenses are issued and to whom. ‘“‘Does are political animals around here,” said one avid hunter likening the Luz- erne County doe to the Democratic donkey and the Republican ele- phant. “The season was off to a bad start,” said another hunter, issuing one of the few complaints heard about the freezing rain that wel- comed hunters at dawn last Monday. Most hunters who got their deer claimed they never got wet and they weren’t cold. Another factor that the guys and gals who brought home deer had in common was a deliberate vagueness about exactly where they had been hunt- ing. Everyone was ‘up in Bradford County, out to Sweet Valley, up behind Ricketts Glen, out to the Lake.” All hunters apparently belong to a society that protects the location of their secret hunting grounds. One popular local hunting area - the Lee Brace property at Harveys Lake was posted and hunting forbid- den after an unfortunate incident there the second day of the season. Sixteen year old Lee Brace Jr. went out hunting after school on the family property and shot a 10 point buck, but the animal was stolen from him by another hunter. “The guy wasn’t even displaying his license. He claimed he had it in his pocket,” said Lee’s irate grand- father District Magistrate Leonard Harvey. ‘That was Lee’ s kill,” he continued. Angry family members notified the Pa. Game Commission of the incident and requested that a game warden prevent future hunting on their land which they had always allowed previously. Among the successful local hunt- ers were: : 17-year-old Michael Culver of Carverton Road, Trucksville, who brought down a five-point buck in Bradford County. Charles Mahler of Jackson Street, Dallas, who is telling his buddies at Natona Mills about the four-pointer he shot while hunting at Harveys Lake. Jody Gross of Duke Isaacs who brought back a four-pointer from Sweet Valley. Mark Kunkle, Kingston Township manager, who gave his brother a four-pointer that he shot in Franklin Township at 10 a.m. Monday. i 3 M.

RICHARDS Sports Columnist CLIPBOARD NOTES: Two of my golfing pals, Bob Rundle Sr. and Rob Rundle bagged eight-point bucks on the same day and at the same time of the morning, 8:30. Big Bob shot his near | his home in Mountaintop, while Rob got his | in Sweet Valley. What’s the odds’ of father and son | shooting two] bucks on the] sameday and at RICHARDS locations? Another pal, Bob Clemente, former Valley West wrestler, got lost for several hours near Red Rock. Bob came up empty, but was a mite concerned when he couldn’t find his way out the woods. That’s a tough area to get lost. The Bowl season kicks off this Saturday with Air Force going up against an improved Ole Miss team in the Independence Bowl. My choice here is the Falcons. I really like QB Marty Louthan. He's so Falcons are something else running the option, my favorite play. It should be a close game, but I like the fly boys, 27-24. Dallas loses in overtime all the way, Bishop Hoban took the Dallas cagers, 40-35, in the second I used to be a big fan of LSU when Coach Cholly' Mac was running the show. I never could understand why LSU fans never gave him the recog- nition he deserved. He’s the win- ningest coach in Tiger history. Jerry Stovall took over for Bo Rein after he was killed in a plane accident. Stovall fired all of Rein’s assistants and left a very negative taste with the coaching fraternity. I got real mad at the Tigers since. Stovall getting the ax couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Coach Mac is one of my All-Time Coaches. How about them Dawgs? That's George Curry’s Berwick Bulldogs. The former Lake-Lehman coach has done a remarkable job during his tenure at the down river school. I've never met a coach who could moti- vate his players like George can. He’s become a very sound coach in drilling his teams from a funda- mental standpoint. 1 couldn’t be - more elated for his success. He’s a cess change him. I never had more fun than going out to George’s house in Lehman on Sundays and reviewing films with him and former assistant John Oliver. MENS & LADIES Missal. Missal tied the game at 35- all in regulation time when he scored two points at the buzzer. After both teams went scoreless in the first overtime period, Missal scored three of Hoban’s five points in the second overtime to give the Argents a 40-35 win on the Mountai- neers floor. Hoban went out in from from 13-8 in the first period and outscored Dallas 10-8 inithe second quarter’ to take a 23-16 lead into the locker- room at halftime. strong in the third quarter dumping in eight points while their defense held the Argents to a low three points. Dallas went ahead in the fourth period to lead 35-33 with oly seconds on the clock when Iissal hit a 25-foot jump shot to send the game into overtime. The Argents held high-scoring Dave Thomas to only seven points in the game. Ed Gorey led the Mountaineers with 13 points.
