7 10 SPORTS THE C0UR1ER.J0URNAL, LOUISVILLE, SUMl.VY OCTOBER 27, 1937 I 0 1 3 Tho Courier Sportsman Indian Method of Calling Deer Is Passed On to Bowhunters Fishing Contest To End Tonight Today. Is Your Last Chance To Win Big Prize; Nice Fish Slill Biting One last chance remains for anglers to get into the 1957 Courier-Journal Free Fishing Contest which ends tonight at midnight. All entries must be postmarked not later than midnight, October 28, to be eligible for the final judging. 1 it By Bt'RT MONROE Sound plays a big part in hunting success. Usually ygame bags aren't filled by clumsy gunners crashing through I underbrush, breaking sticks and talking loudly.

But it isn't always necessary that complete silence be maintained sounds of assorted kinds can and do attract game birds land animals. Over the years, experienced hunters who have studied the 'life histories and habits of game have used imitations of their natural calls to dram the targets closer. Sometimes ''unnatural" sounds serve the same purpose. And one of the more recent Udcax brought to the sportsmen's attention is the novel and challenging method of hunting deer by calling them, I About ton years aso, Art Carhart, a Denver outdoor writer, obtained a deer call made by Indians. After testing it thoroughly, he set about manufacturing some of them.

Experiments with the call lured deer into the open and often halted deer on the move. Although some sportsmen frowned upon the practice and felt that calling deer was unsportsmanlike, 'wildlife management special her bass of five pounds even. Carpenter used a Ileddon Sonic in Shaws Lake in Bullitt County to land a 2-poundcr. Lewis Caudill, 1574 Bclmar Drive, Louisville, leads the larg-mouth bass class in the October contest with a fine one of six pounds, 10 ounces, It was taken on a black and white Bomber No. fiOO near White Oak Creek in Lake Cumberland.

And Orval roor, Touristville, used a Cisco Kid lure at about the same spot to catch one just two ounces less. Only one entry in the class for 'W tinuously rings an old dinner bell. The other hunter circles until he gets downwind from the fox which sooner or later, unable to withstand the tolling and impelled by curiousity, begins to backtrack. Bird Watch crs Attract Small Birth Bird watchers for years have been atracting small birds into the range of their binoculars by making a squeaking noise such as kissing the back of their hands. And many have gained a sight of the elusive and wary pileated woodpecker by striking the trunk of a tree with a club.

Predators are also attracted by the squeaks and squeals and several firms have placed "predator calls" on the market for use iiti'attracting these creatures. Practically all hunters know about the calls used on squirrels, crows, ducks and geese and many gunners practice hours in mastering the gadgets. Then there are the wild turkey rails made of the wing bone of a turkey. The slate box and the coconut shell callers are seen everywhere in turkey country. Suction on the stem of a pipe, striking the brass rim of a shell against a half dollar held drumhead fashion in the hand and scratching the thumbnail across the edge of a matchbox can all be worked to perfection in calling in the old gobblers.

Sometimes the "calling" idea is carried too far. The new electronic recorders to broadcast the calls of geese have been outlawed by federal regulations but the old-fashioned goose and duck calls used in former years are still perfectly legal. When a "fish caller" went on the market during the past year, a mile post in the field of sound was reached. Now that the Indians who used deer calls many, many years ago have passed the idea on to the modern bowhuntcr; a new era is archcr-jrfia may still think onfrer rail as a gadget mill be interested to learn that this Indian-type call really works. i 7 i 1 j.

4 ijfcVaV- I Mil i ists have accepted the call as a good way to hunt It is puzzling to tome hunters as to why a deer rail workers at all. Adult deer usually are voiceless eicrpt when in extreme terror and then they are known to shriek with a loud, high-pitched voice. Most hunters believe that the actual voire of the game hun rd must be imitated to lure them closer but that isn't necessarily so. Many mammals and birds are very curious about sounds. For instance, the European moose can be lured into target 1 1 Scattershot One of the most successful mourning dove seasons in years comes to a close next Wednesday, October 30.

Anvone who has killed a dove wearing a leg band can he of great assistance if the band, together with a note as to the date and place of recovery, is sent to the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources in Frankfort. Kentucky's liberal deer bmchunting season and the ample supply of English fallow and European red deer it offers may attract some of the bouhuntmg "greats" to the State. Howard II ill, of California, and Bill" Mostrangel. of Arizona, have expressed a desire to hunt here. Both are world-famous in the field of bouhuntmg.

range by a hunter playing a violin. And there is a report of a moose in Yellowstone Park which beat time to radio music with its head. Whistling sometimes stops moose in their tracks as occasionally does to the cottontail rabbit. Some hunters bring moose closer by merely breaking branches of trees. A little-known method of fox hunting practiced in Xcw England is called "belling." Two hunters start out tracking the fox in soft snow.

Ont man follows the trail and con RIG BOVS BASS This pair of fishermen Dr. John M. Moorhatch and son Jackie of Louisville show off an excellent string of bass taken during a recent outing at Kentucky lake State Park. The Moorhatch catch totaled 18 fish with the largest a largemouth of three and one half pounds. As the contest swept into the stretch during the past week, many fine fish were caught despite the unfavorable fishing conditions.

And some of them slammed right square into the top spots for the entire season, further evidence that it is never too late to try. Harold Cole, Hcidrick, jumped into the season's lead in the class for smallmouth bass with a whopper of seven pounds, one ounce Cole was casting the banks of Lake Cumberland near Conlcy Bottom Dock with a Super Sonic lure when the bass struck about eight feet out. It took about fifteen minutes to land it. This prize also gives Cole the lead in the special October VUlliritb Willi II oinu Cliua iuuoj. Smallmouth bass also were caught by Mrs.
