ATLANTA (PRN) For
more than six years now
you’ve been reading this
weekly column in your
favorite newspaper. You’ve
read all types of
stories,. . .fishing tales,
hunting yarns, hard-core
conservation articles, some
touching tales, all sorts of
things, in this column.
Altogether, in 6V4 years, I’ve
written more than 350
columns for the State Game
and Fish Department.
Certainly, I hope you have
enjoyed reading it. I know
some of you have, because I’ve
had countless letters and
phone calls and many, many
personal comments from you,
the reader. I appreciate them!
Os all the people who enjoy
the column, however, I dare to
selfishly say that no one has
enjoyed it nearly as much as I
myself have.
There are many, many tasks
1 have done during those 6V4
years for you the sportsman,
as an employee of the State
Game and Fish Department
and I’ve loved every minute of
it, every part of the job
whether it was writing a news
release, answering your
questions on the phone or in
person, speaking at your club
meeting, taking pictures and
gathering a story for GAME &
FISH Magazine .. .or editing
and planning the magazine.
This column, however, has
always been sort of a personal
pet. I could do pretty much as
I pleased with it, say what 1
wanted to, get something off
my mind or my chest. I
bragged on some people,
berated others. I’ve given tips
on where to go hunting or
fishing, tips on improving your
techniques and regularly
begged and pleaded with you
to be a good sportsman, to
observe game and fish laws, to
conserve our natural resources
and to encourage others to do
the same . . .and very often
strived to entice you to spend
more time taking youngsters
hunting and fishing . . .both
your own youngsters and
others.
I have, sometimes, tried to
explain to you what your
Game and Fish Department is,
how it operates and how it
benefits you. Most of all I’ve
tried to show that the
Department is here to serve
you, to provide you with more
and better hunting and fishing,
and to help you enjoy it more.
I hope you have not only
enjoyed the column but have
found it helpful and useful,
informative as well as
entertaining. I hope it has
given you a better
understanding of conservation
and your role and the
Department’s in protecting
our wildlife resources. 1 hope,
too, that you’re a better
sportsman as well as a better
outdoorsman for having read
it. 1 believe 1 have received
benefits in many, many ways
from writing it. I know I have
had the benefit of learning
more about more people
through the column, than I
would have otherwise.
Because of all this, it isn’t
easy, not is it pleasant, to get
to the point of this column. I
hope you’ll be a little
disappointed, because I am
too.
Next week you will not see
my column. With many regrets
and fond memories, 1 am
leaving the Game and Fish
Department. I’ve loved it,
loved working for Game and
Fish and for you and with
you. I’m going to miss it.
But I won’t miss Georgia’s
fine quail hunting, bass
fishing, deer hunting, coastal
fishing and all the state offers.
Nor will I stop writing about
it. I’m moving to South
Georgia, and will continue to
write, on a free lance basis and
hopefully, my writings of this
state will be in many
publications.
Thanks for a wonderful
experience, to you, and to all
persons connected with the
Department, Good Luck. And
good hunting and fishing! So
Long.
