At the same tine, luck can be a factor, but the methodical hunter has a better success ratio from year to year than the hunter who relies on luck. The successful hunter knows where the birds are. This means looking and listening. The best time to do this is during deer season. Yo*i are already in the woods and can keep an eye out for the turkeys. It's not too late for scouting, but be aware other hunters are likely in the woods trying to bag a bird for themselves. Oncf the bird is located, the hunter should be camouflaged from head to toe and if the eyes are likewise concealed behind a head net, so much the better. Veteran turkey hunters report seeing these wary birds spot a hunter blink an eye. With the huge variety of camo on the market today, it is easy to match a camo to the terrain. Since turkey hunting can involve some stand shifts, it is best to pick a pattern that is versatile in the woods. Any number of calls can also be found on the market. Some can be worked by mouth and so involve no movement. Others need hand motion (slate calls) and should be used with care. Other calls apparently have nothing to do with turkeys (crow and owl calls) but do work to locate a gobbler. Calls are virtually essential and the most exciting part to veterans. They will say there is nothing quite like calling in a huge tom to within feet of where the hunter is sitting. Of recent turkey decoys have become fashionable. These, more than anything else, require utmost caution in their use. Turkey hunters, because they are so well camouflaged, can be hidden from other hunters. A lifelike decoy can be a tempting target for a hunter moving toward the calling bird he can't seem to draw in. Decoys should then be placed where the hunter is clearly out of a line of fire.

It should be on Gov. Zell Miller's desk awaiting his signature. If a boater is found guilty of reckless boating and causes an accident that results in a fatality, he can be sentenced to a maximum prison sentence of 15 years. Boating under the influence of alcohol, speeding and violating other boating safety laws are punishable under the bill as well. And the measure does not cover just boats. Operators of those personal watercraft (also known as jet skis) which are so popular can be convicted of the same crimes. With the coming of warm weather, most Georgia lakes and rivers will soon be targets of water lovers from fishermen to sailboaters. Unfortunateiy, standard equipment in many boats of all sizes is a cooler full of beer. The combination of warm temperatures and fresh air has been proven to speed the affects of alcohol on a person. And boats don't have a brake pedal. So please be careful and follow the rules of the "road" when on the water. * * * Area anglers who frequent the Flint and Chattahoochee rivers may notice state fisheries personnel collecting white bass and striped bass in the next few weeks. The white bass are due to go to the Richmond Hill Fish Hatchery to be used as brood stock to produce hybrids. The striped bass will be sent to the Welaka National Fish Hatchery for fingerling production. Large numbers of hybrids will be reared at the hatcheries in Dawson and Cordele. Approximately 500 white bass and 100 striped bass adults are due to be collected statewide. When the fingerlings have reached about one inch long, they will be stocked in reservoirs and costal rivers throughout the state. Lakes W.F. George (Eufaula), Andrews, Chehaw, Seminole and Blackshear will receive some of the hybrids. Seminole and Blackshear will also receive striped bass. * * * Flatheads are one of the largest members of the catfish family. Your Family Independent Pharmacist is a trained professional.

FAMILY INDEPENDENT V PHARMACY® 9 Hitchin' Post with Larry Hitchcock They often grow to 70 pounds or more. To get that big, they must eat often and consume large qualities of food. Bream and other varieties of desirable fish top the list of flathead favorites and that's where the problem lies. Fisheries personnel have discovered that flatheads, apparently introduced by well-meaning anglers, have decimated bullheads and redbreast sunfish in the Altamaha and Oconee rivers. Flatheads were put in the Altamaha in the 1970 s and since then bullheads have almost been eliminated and redbreast sunfish have seen an 80 percent decline in the last five years alone. The very rare robust redhorse has been declining in the Oconee and fisheries experts believe the flathead may be at fault. Plans are under consideration that would reduce the flathead population in the Altamaha system, increase the harvest of the big catfish and prevent its spread to other river systems. * * * While pleasure boaters, lakefront property owners and the Corps of Engineers despise it, hydrilla and milfoil has been proven to be instrumental in improving fishing in almost every lake where the grasses are found. Lake Seminole is well-known for its fishery and most Seminole area guides and fishermen give the grass a lot of the credit. The Corps and state fisheries people apparently don't want the green beds. Holding pens for grass carp are being built in some areas of the lake. Advancem Auto PartsM /'//// / / / 7 / / tThT^TmTliTisii / " EL « ’ Autolite Spark Plugs Each Reg.
