G 3705 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles 26, Calif. 1 AMMUNITION SPECIAL 1 QUAIL NEVER QUAIL (Continued from page 23) pleasantly about us as we moved in . . . eyes of the dogs moist, bright as jewels in the sun, Ray on my right (he's a southpaw). The ground litter was patchy, exposing grain scattered by the wastrel hogs. A stalk crunched beneath my low boot and from under the setter's nose a lone hen zoomed almost soundlessly right between us, straight as a projectile. She was on my side but I let her go. Ray glanced a question my way but I couldn't have told him in words, at the instant, why I didn't shoot . . . yet he instinctively knew. I took another step, and another, but nothing happened and then the dogs were snuffling loudly in the dead Mexican clover underlay, their tails wagging briskly. I knew why I hadn't shot the single: partly because I clearly recognized it as a hen, but mostly because conditioned experience had worked faster than my couscious brain or arm. T shielded my eyes against the sun and looked in the direction the lone bird had gone. As if to confirm my appraisal a thin shadow flickered swiftly across the corn and Ray whirled, fired and brought down the hawk with a load of 8's from his 20-bore gun. Together we headed for the rough drainway where the single had alighted and without need to speak we killed seven birds out of the covey our birds pointed there. Magic? Luck? Not at all. Ray and I had early learned the answer to that one. When for no apparent reason a mere fragment of a wide-feeding covey materializes from a feed patch it is because something already has flushed the main bevy. In the woo& it might be a fox or cat. In open fields it is always either man or hawk. Each section of the country has its own marauders and in south Georgia it is the blue darter or the chickenhawk. Because the bird arose so quietly and straight we knew it had advance warning to prepare its get- 1 away well in advance. - - - PECAR I BERLIN Vari-Powered Scopes Top: 3x to 7x Bottom: 4x to lox 'E SIZE COLOR PRINTS- Two new great scopes to give the American shooters the finest in German optia and workman- ship.

The bird knew exactly what cover the covey would choose to escape such a preda- tor, and by watching its flight we had saved ourselves many minutes of blind hunting- because bobwhite is a stinker for giving away secrets. The remainder of our action had simply followed the pattern. Even had no bird arisen from such a strong point the dogs' excited making of game would have justified our picking out the nearest cover that afforded protection from hawks and setting the dogs to work it. You'd be surprised how consistently such common sense pays off. We dropped down from that field and worked toward a weedgrown tobacco bed in the edge of some pines, just beyond plowed ground, where I had three times running found a covey this season. I had learned their flight path and pinpointed the patch of saplings near the creek where they would light. A cold deck. Right on schedule the dogs hit the covey, the lead dogs out of sight and my pointer backing staunchly from the field. Ray tossed a clog of earth into the brush. The hedge shook fiercely with the roar of beating wings as the covey went out. We dropped two birds and I got both of them. They were wising up to this shooting business and only a widely separated trio had risen high enough to be seen. The others had whirred off through the weed tops. "That's all right," I said. "I know where they'll hit. You'll get your shot." My dog already knew-but this time we were really wrong. He was casting about in the saplings when Ray's pointer doubled in excited de- light, mouth quivering, mellow eyes rolling carefully from Ray to a spot on the ground and back. I said, "There's your shot. Take him. I'll cover for you." Him was right. Ray dropped a heavy cock bird without difficulty. But there the thing ended. No more birds. The dogs hunted valiantly as five o'clock, five-thirty came, but they didn't even make game on another single. Perplexed and stubborn, I sat and lit a cigarette. Ray, instead, climbed a high, wild- fire blackened stump. Shadows here in the woods had grown so long that only his curly black hair and face were in sunlight. He looked nearly around the clock, until his eyes settled on a bare field across the creek. "What grows over there?" "Not anything now," I replied wearily. "It was watermelons and then burned off, except a patch of wormy turnips on the low side!' "That's what I thought," he said with a rising inflection. "Let's go!" There was no foot log and I wasn't en- thusiastic about wading the creek on nothing drier than theory. Then I got up and splashed in, because I was remembering too. The two-acre turnip patch, exploited save for a ragged, flattened clump here and there, was utterly bare. We readied our guns knowing the dogs couldn't hold them here in the open. Sure enough, those turnips began tc sprout quail even before we got in gunshot but we bagged four before it was all over I've seen wised-up birds employ the samt trickery in many sorts of apparently-too small clumps that remain in bare fields probably because they can see the hunter!
