Deer harvest may break records After a week and a half of deer season, it appears that this may turn out to be one of the best sea sons ever I have never seen an acorn crop like we have in the woods this year. All of the oaks, including the white oaks, are full of acorns and the ground under them is solid with acorns. This follows a record soft mast crop this past summer so deer are in excellent shape. I spent some time in the woods last Saturday morning and was sur prised to find a profusion of buck scrapes everywhere. I have talked to several hunters who have seen bucks running does. One successful hunter was Tom Ross of Perry. Tom was hunting on a private tract of land near Mar shallville last Friday afternoon when he took a five point buck that was running a doe. On Sunday afternoon about 5:15, again. This time on an eight-point buck that had a live weight of 203 pounds. Tom was hunting over buck scrapes when the buck came out of the woods and started working one of Buyer beware when boat shopping About now, all of us who fish more than we hunt have ran out of anything to do except the "honey do's," which we try to overlook. So, what a better time than now to start looking for that new boat you've been wanting to buy. While it sounds easy, there is nothing easy about it. It hasn't been that many years ago when the choices of boats were limited. If you wanted to be frivolous, you went out and bought a yacht and called yourself a fisher man or a water skier. Those of us who could not afford to be frivolous settled for a runabout, a bass boat or a plain old fishing boat. There was nothing in between the yatch's and bottom-line boats. Now, you have to be pretty certain of what you intend to do with (his rig before you even start looking for it. Don’t make the mistake of going town to the local friendly boat dealer and tell them that you want the best boat they have to offer. What you will bet is probably the most expensive, biggest monstros ity of a boat that is totally unusable on a lake, unless that lake is called the Gulf of Mexico. Today, you better do a lot of homework before you go the local boat dealers. Boat dealers are like a lot of car dealers today and in the past. If you ihink you've heard talk Hornets, from 6A- region lAAA. It was one of those bazaar nights made for trick or treating as the Hornets and Raiders exchanged turnovers all night, with die Hor nets losing four fumbles, while in tercepting Reeves three times and recovering one Raider fumble. It wasn't until the last halt that the Hornets finally got their ground attack going, as the Raiders held them to just 52 first half rushing yards. A lot of that had to do with the Hornets inability to hold onto the ball, however. John Morton's 24 yard touch-down scamper in the third quarter ended the scoring on this weird looking Friday night as the Hornets claim second place in region lAAA and will host the number three team from region 3AAA Friday Nov. 11th. Right now, that looks like Brookwood, winners Friday night over West wood 42 12. Deerfield holds the top spot in the region standings follow ing their win over SW Georgia, now in second place followed by Brookwood then Westwood.

The buck’s antlers had a 16 1/2-inch spread. Both bucks were in excellent shape with an abundance of body fat. I talked with Troy Windham of Artistic Taxidermy Studio this week and he said that they had al ready gotten in 65 deer to mount in the first week of the season. This is up about one third over last year. This is a good indication of a record kill. Windham also said that the deer were extremely fat. When the deer go into the winter in this kind of shape, they will usually have an excellent breeding season, and antler development should be outstanding. A large mast crop benefits all wild life.

Buying a rig today has to be considered a major investment, just like buying a new car or truck. The costs have gone up so much each year that a new boat now costs in the tens of thousands of dollars. Right now, a complete rig costs a lot of people the same amount as they paid for their first homes. When you make that trip to the dealer, you had better go with all the particulars you are looking for, including the price range you .are willing to pay. Here are a few lips that we use when looking for a new rig. Maybe by substituting your requirements in place of ours, you can get some kind of idea of how it works today. First, we design all of our re quirements around tournament fish ing, since this is our primary type of fishing. We want a boat that can handle extremely rough water safely, have the horsepower to get us to our fishing area and back in the minimum amount of time, have would take a Westwood win over SW Georgia and a Brookwood win over Deerfield to change the stand ings. Westfieid will play a non region game Friday night against Adiens Christian at the Hornets’ Nest. Athens Christian is 5-4, but just 1- 3 in region 2AAA. They did beat Monroe Friday night, though, and come in on an emotional high, hav ing captured a playoffs spot with that win. Westfield fans will have their eyes trained on the Mount de Sales and Tattnall Square game at Tattnall Friday night. The winner will be the region 2AAA champion, and will be placed in the same bracket with Westfield for the playoffs. By the way, even though Westfield and Stratford and now in the same re gion, they can meet for the state championship again this year if both advance, since they finish one two in their region and will enter the playoffs in opposite brackets, setting up the possible state cham pionship game rematch.

Even the predator species, such a lot dry storage as well as a total live well system, have all the ac cessories that we need and be able to carry enough fuel on board to last a full day of hard tournament fishing without having to stop to refuel. I fully realize that most people are not looking for a package this extreme; but, it is what it hikes in today's tournaments. Some of the things that you want on your rig may be just as elaborate in your mind as our rig is in ours. This is the reason so many different types of boats are being manufactured today. The boating industry has gone to great extremes to supply the market with every conceivable package. And, if you can't buy what you want, they will build it for you. I offer these suggestions before you visit the first boat dealer. First, sit down with several magazines, catalogs or anything else that has picture of different rigs. Study them over, and try to imagine what type of water will you fish in, how Clark, from 6A in years to come, when the Oliva's, the Jones, the Klesko's, the Mike Kelly's and several young pitchers begin to reach super star status, it's either trade them, or let them play out their options, like so many teams are being forced to do today, teams like San Diego and Pitts burgh, to name a couple. One would hope the two sides can come together and get this thing settled. But you know, some where down the road, one side or the other is going to come up with something else to stall play. It happens every few years. The fans, of course, are the losers.

Next, make up a list on paper with all the equipment, down to the last screw, that you want on the rig. Don't list any name brands, since the name brand doesn’t mean nearly as much as it did in the past. Make several copies of this list, and give each of the local dealers a copy. Ask them to fill in the blanks with their best price. Compare prices and equipment. With this, you can make a pretty good determination of the price range of a good rig for you. If you are looking for a particu lar brand name, then you will have to pay the price for that brand. Ei ther way, you'll get a good idea of how much money you will invest.

The fan is also the loser with increased ticket prices, parking fees, absurd conces sion prices, and souvenir prices, which the kids insist on having when they attend a game, and rightly so. It's just hard to afford a game anymore. Do the players care? Not at all. Do the owners care? Ap parently not. The average salary of a major league baseball player today is over one million dollars a year. And most of them are not even bonafide major leaguers.
