ABOUT DUCKS, ETC.
~eduek season opened for the second session last Saturday and
e Were not many reports of hunters being overburdened with
ts. The bluebills are moving however and there is usually a
I flight along about now tha'! whistle'down Shagawa Lake,
the shorelines on Basswood and swoops through a few other
of local water. ~'hile Mallards are usually rated the
hies of the waterfowl clan, bluebills, unquestionably, provide
;portiest shooting Anybody who can hit those buzzing black
White bombs with any degree of accuracy is a marksman

~re is an old saying in sports that if you want to lose a football
~,~all you've got to do is make the front page of Sports
Ittrated. For some reason, known only to the fates that curse
l~ws media, all you do to jinx a deal is print it. A case in point
a recent article concerning a fly-in duck hunting up Fourtown
e and Moosecamp Creek that this scribe had ensconced in the
~r issue of Outdoor Life. A year ago, with some other
~its from the wet boot brigade, he was up there prospecting for
lards and found a goodly number in Moosecamp Creek. Story
'
Photos came out to the editor's liking and the article was duly
~ted and printed. But a year elapsed from shooting to
Aing. This fall some other goodly outdoor folk, who follow the
rness Wings to sample this duck bonanza. But the glory hole
of waterfowl, took off northward via Pat Magie's
'd Played out. During last Spring's runoff, the beaver dams in
ke ~ecamp Creek had given way, the water level fell in the duck
~hps'and the ducks vanished. Some of the weary hunters
' rned to berate the writer: "How come you write a lie like that.
41d re ain't only no mallards in that creek, there ain t even any
~r in that creek...you can't get a dang canoe up there,"
~etimes there is no justice in the world.
NATIONAL FOREST PRODUCTS WEEK
~t this is the National Forest Products Week has a bearing on
SPortsman in that a large part of the hunting enjoyed in this
eis due directly to timber cutting and forest regeneration. It is
nteresting sidelight thai the area most devoid of wildlife is the
riot zone of the BWCA, the no-cut" area. The area where
~t Wildlife abounds is in the timber management areas where
is cutting, replanting and regeneration. State Representa-
I~ boug Johnson dropped into the office last week and we talked
~.!le about the wolf, deer and timber. Doug pointed out that the
~.le who are most vocal about "saving" the timber walt are also
~[~ Vocal about "saving" the trees.
l~ere is just no way we can do this," Doug said. "The area
~'~,Want for the wolf sanctuary is basically the BWCA and that is
! nocut" area they don't want cut."
~hnson pointed out,that within much of the BWCA the timber
grown to maturity, has shaded out the browse and there are
p4 %r no deer. As a'result, there are no wolves either since the
~es depend on deer for their food. Instead, the deer are on the
;de perimeter and the wolves have been forced to range out
areas where there are more people, more farms and more
~toek.
The farmers are going to kill the woh'es that go after their
:k,', Johnson noted, "And this has nothing to do with a wolf law
~Wolf laxv."
~'as his opinion that the wolves are being slowly forced out of
'/enee by the environmental groups who insist on a strict
"cut" policy in the wilderness. He also noted that if the
• ut" is extended to federal and state areas outside the BWCA
~'olf is finished for sure.
