MUM II
By Ted Besting
When you’re looking forward
to sharing a deer-hunting camp
with other eager trophy hunters
—men with years of successful
hunting experience—you natu
rally want to show up in camp
with a regular sort of a deer
gun. The one gun that marks
you as a -discriminating sports
man—the man who knows what’s
proper or at least is smart
enough to avail himself of the
best possible advice.
Nonseness! It won’t matter
what buck stopper you select or
how it is equipped; you will be
overgunned or undergunned,
overslugged or underslugged,
overscoped or underscoped. I’m
sure that at least one of the
overs or unders will be reflected
in the majority of diverse indi
vidual opinions regarding any
deer gun you proudly carry into
camp.
Old deer hunters stand firm
on unshakable opinions, and
these opinions don’t ever fade
away. The thing for you to do
is get the best information you
can; consider your personal
needs, the type of terrain you’ll
be hunting, and reach your own
logical conclusions regarding
gun, ammunition and sights.
Then you too can stand on a
firm, unshakeable opinion. You’ll
have joined the majority.
However, in some eastern
states, and even a few midwest
ern states, the choice of a deer
gun is not a debatable question.
It happens to be illegal to use
any gun other than a shotgun.
“A shotgun? I wouldn’t shoot
a deer with a shotgun!” This ex
presses the feeling of more and
more hunters as you cross the
Mississippi and travel west. In
the Plains States and Far West,
most hunters have reason to pre
pare themselves for shots out to
200 yards or beyond.
from Ricky Schell; Vic Smith’s
72-yard punt return; and Mar
shall Atha’s two six-pointers,
one a 35-yard run and the other
on a 37-yd. pass from Schell.
Jack Lunsford caught two PAT
passes from Schell to round out
the scoring for the NOHS eleven.
Riflemen might be shocked to
learn how many deer hunters
are entering the brush with
shotguns. I don’t know the fig
ure, but it must be steep.
Actually, in cover where 75
yards is a long shot, the shot
gun is hard to beat. This doesn’t
apply to the East Coast only,
where states like Delaware, Mas
sachusetts, New Jersey and
Rhode Island and several coun
ties in Maryland are strictly
shotgun.
Ohio and Indiana also restrict
deer hunters to shotguns. These
hunters don’t seem to mind.
Cross the Mississippi and you’ll
have to use a shotgun in lowa
and in some parts of Oklahoma.
Where shotguns are the only
guns permitted, the tendency is
to also limit the ammunition to
slugs or single ball. These sin
gle missiles present less danger
to other hunters than buckshot.
According to Pete Brown,
Arms Editor of Sports Afield,
shotguns for deer hunting are
in such demand that the Amer
ican arms manufacturers have
seen fit to put out special short
barreled shotguns bored loose
for slugs and equipped with rifle
sights.
You can, of course, shoot slugs
(or buckshot) in your bird gun
too. Metallic sights can be in
stalled to improve your accu
racy. Open chokes, improved
cylinder or cylinder, are gener
ally credited with giving the
best accuracy with slugs, but
many shooters get some excel
lent slug shooting from full
and modified-choke barrels.
Yes, it is all right to shoot
slugs through your variable
choke device. It is best to open
it up to a loose choke setting,
however.
A halfway - decent - shooting
shotgun will group within six
inches at 75 yards.
The squirrels are on the move
in Georgia’s mountains by the
thousands. The squirrels are
abandoning the high ridges, mov
ing down Into the valleys in search
of food.
Nature’s timing appeared to be
a little off this year for squirrels
Bill Collins, game biologist for
the Game and Fish Commission’s
Calhoun District, said a bumper
crop of squirrels were produced
this year, but a late frost coupled
with a summer drought has left
little If any food for squirrels
In the high country.
Consequently, the squirrels
are in search of food and are
moving into the valleys of the
mountain country, attacking corn
fields and any other food source
they can find.
Collins said apparently the
squirrels are staying In the
mountain region, however. There
has been no effect on squirrels
In any other section of the state.
Hunting should be excellent for

Hill’s Baseball Scoring
Record Now 3,924 Games
F. B. Mil of Washington St

scoring of 219 baseball games
he heard and saw this past dia
mond season. Mr. Mil is con
fined to his wheelchair, but ne
vertheless, listens to a base
ball game almost every day of
his life.
Since he started keeping base
ball scores of games to which
he was listening to or seeing,
he now has an overall record
of 3,924 games in 18 years. It
was 1950 when he suffered a st
roke and took up baseball as his
hobby.
Mr. Hill states that he heard
some 212 regular season games.
Some of these were afternoon
tilts and some night games. He
saw the entire 1968 World Ser
ies on TV and kept an accurate
record of the scoring and other
statistics.
Before he became ill, Mr. M

for Fowler Brothers Merchan

Baseball dosen’t take up all
his leisure time. This past
year he listened to some 35
football games, and 20 basket
