Elsewhere In northwest Florida, the turkey situation seems to be especially good. Pete Crittenden, Lake Si Stream Survey project leader has been doing a considerable amount of camping out the Apalachlcola River area during tha past month and reports squirrels and turkeys plentiful along the big river.

Our travels seem to Indicate that wt art In for some good quail hunting In this part of the state. Fish stringers come In a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, but what Is tha best kind? Ed Howard (Ives you tips on what to look for in "Stringers" In the October Issue of The Fisherman Magaslne. For stream fishing, where you cover a considerable amount of water, the cord stringer la excellent. You can own and carry a bunch of them without weighing yourself down or spending much money. Cotton cord is satisfactory, but the new braided plastic stringers have many advantages.

They resist rot, the fish slide freely up and down on them, and they are easy to wash and dry after a trip afield. Cord stringers are satisfactory, too, for boat fishing. A lot of fishermen, however, like to use safety-pin snaps for boat fishing. You can get them mounted on small tubes that thread onto a cord stringer. But make sure the snaps have sharp points.

You can put a needle point on them with an emery wheel or an ordinary file In a very few minutes. Chain stringers are useful In boat fishing and In other forms of angling where the fisherman is not walking. Practically any chain atringer you can buy is much stronger than you'll need It to be, and it will stay that way a long time. It can rust out, but the process takes a lot of time. Now you're set to string your fish.

But what is the proper way? You can choose from two methods run the stringer through the lower Jaw of the fish, through the lower Jaw and the upper lip. or run the stringer under the gill cover and out the fish's mouth. All have advantages under certain conditions. If you are planning on scattergunnlng for1 members of the webfooted clan this fall, we suggest you get a copy of the October ft ports Afield. A special duck shooting section heads the list of contents month and the 25-page feature is loaded with Information plus four-color Illustrations.

Divided Into nine parts, the magazine offers: "How to Hit Ducks" (helpful tips that will help you bring em down), "Outfitting The Hunter" how to dress for your hunt and "Decoys, Calls, and Blinds" (duck-fooling secrets), "Duck Hunting Ouns and Loads" dope on the load to shoot and the gun to shoot it in), "Favorite Duck Boats" (lowdown on the best duck boats), "Ducks For Dinner" plain and fancy waterfowl recipes), "Which Duck Dog For You" (how to select the right retriever), "How They Set Duck Seasons" and the accurately Illustrated "What Duck Is That." If you are a member of the waterfowl hunting clan, this reading can be exciting pre-season activity. With the first day of fall already past and a full moon scheduled for Oct. 1, cool-weather fishing should be continually on the upswing. Speckled trout and red fish catches are both Increasing and their feeding migrations are bringing these two piscatorial favorites closer to the river mouths and bays. Bass, bream, and shellcracker angling ahould provide considerable action during the next few weeks and crappie can be expected to start hitting as the cooler weather moves in.

In less than two weeks the curtain will lift on the first part of the 195S dove aeason. Report Indicate that a good number of these swift shot dodgers are now present and afternoon smoothbore addicts should enjoy considerable sport. Shooting will be permitted from 12 noon, until sunset every day from Oct. 8 to Oct. 23 and resume on Dec.

2 until Dec. 31. We have talked with several Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission field men during recent days and they all speak of the coming hunting season in glowing terms. Bob Hyde, the commission's Aucllla Management Area biologist, reports spectacular Still Sharp. looms as a bright prospect.

Robert Russ moves to the No, 3 fullback spot behind Sal Galtor and Heard due to injuries suf. fered by Roman Gavin (knee in. jury) and Robert Jenkins (fractured Jaw). Quarterback has been well manned with Lawrence Williams, Carl Jefferson and James Williams as 1-2-3 at present. Alfred Miller, Adolphus Fralzer and Miller have been consistent place kickers.

Lawrence Williams, Alfred Mil ler and Wllford Brown show Improvement in kicking. The team can rely on three good kickers. Only game scrimmage prior to Saturday will be Tuesday. Double sessions have been die continued due to registration. Un-til game time, most of the practice time will be spent on timing of plays, polishing offense and strengthening team defense.

Branning and M. M. Barnea of Thomaavllle, were all aet to catch some baas, but for some reason or other they only had a couple, although the bus had been hitting real hard. We heard recently what to do In a case of this kind. Seems that a hook fastened about three Inches ahead of the plug or lure will sometimes catch the wary bins that's hitting Just a little too aoon.

and missing-the lure completely. A practical, Inexpensive, waterproof matrh case can be made by slipping a used 12-gauge shotgun over one of 16-gauge. We were talking with SI iRed) Taylor over at Parkerson's Landing on the new Qulncy highway. He told us that the water was beautiful right now and that good catches of blue gills and shell-crackers, with some pretty bass seem to be the order of the day. While we were talking with 'Red' Brad Baker of Tallahassee came In with a nice string of bass he caught on a spoon with a spinning outfit.

a little early for these. If you are planning a deer hunt this aeason, avoid using scented soap, shaving lotions or hair tonics before going out The deer'a sense of smell Is keen. Doug Bateman sends us a letter from over at Lakeview Point on Lake Talquin. He tells us that this hurricane weather has upset the fish somewhat but they are now back again. Seems that the end of the school vacation has curtailed the number of fisher men, but there are still nice catches of shellcrackers being taken off the "Rice Patch.

Doug goes on to say he went fishing on Monday and had a thrill. He caught some real whopping big bream. The bass have been schooling around the sand bars and quite a few have been caught lately. No crappie as yet, seems they're-waiting for cooler weather. Red wlgglers still best for the bream and shellcrackers.

The 49ers. already loaded with the likes of Joe Perry, Y. A. Tittle, John Henry Johnson and Hugh McElhenny, had sauce heaped on the dessert in rookies Carroll Hardy and Dickie Moegle. The Bears, with George Ilalas nearlng the end of his career, will be primed for an all-out ef fort.

"The bat hasn't felt right in my hands all season. Only one day it felt good," the squat catcher wailed. "Maybe it's all In the mind," a writer suggested.

"Naw, I got nothin in my mind," Berra said. Then he jumped up. "Hey, don't write it that way I I got nohin' in my mind except winning. After all, I'm not an empty head."

Almost any physical normal person can learn to place his arrows in an 18-Inch circle from 30 yards in a matter of a few weeks, and the average deer is killed at a distance of less than 30 yards.
