Be sure to identify your target before the safety is poshed off and the trigger is squeezed. There will be a iot of excitement and desire built up to squeeze the trigger for the first time of the season. This is why you should take a minute or two to relax and think a little about safety before taking, to the woods. If you are taking a young or first-time hunter to the woods with you tomorrow, review some basic hunting safety rules with him.

If we can teach our young hunters to be safe from day one, the chances are much greater that he will grow up to be a safe hunter and help ensure the future of hunting in Pennsylvania. There are so many things that are beyond our control when it comes to game management and our hunting furture, so let's make a real effort to work on those controllable factors such as sportsmanship and safety.

Sunday! Noon-S It seems that if a one-time favorite hunting area isn't covered with "No Hunting" signs, there is a house or trailer located right in the middle of a great deer watch or grouse woods. Although there is nothing I can do about it, I become extremely upset when I am hunting through a favor ite patch of woods and find that someone is living on one of my favorite deer watches. This does not happen everyday, but a couple of times every several years can really change a fellow's hunting habits. Since there is nothing we can do to regain the hunting land lost to housing, we need to focai on the land lost due to poor sportsmen who have cansed so much of our woodlands to become posted against hunting. Sportsmanship and safety is where the future of hunting in Pennsylvania now lies.

I really can not blame landowners wno nave had several bad ei xpen id em ences with pool up posting their land. If a landowner posts his ground, he is the one that automatically becomes the bad guy -when in actuality the landowner has probably turned his cheek to poor ByJIMBOTHELL Gazette Contributing Writer There will probably be a little frost on the pumpkin tomorrow -j when the 1986 small game and tur key seasons open at 9 a.m., but that not cause much alarm among hunters who live all year for frosty fall mornings and hunting season. C. As usual, I and all other hunters are excited about the opening day of -the fall gunning seasons. Amidst the this year, though, for the first time since I have been hunting, I am questioning my reasons for excitement.

Hunting has been a great tradition in a tremendous number of area household for generations. But I am beginning to wonder if hunting in the lMW's is nothing more than the "fond memories that helped to build snch a strong hunting tradition in h. this area. Each year, the number of hunters and houses that take up more and more of our hunting territory continues to grow while the populations of the wildlife we hunt continues to I realize that we still have A thousands of acres of land on which to hunt (more and more the land ac-' cessible to bunting is state game lands), but my concern is with the smaller woodlots and fields that so much of the hunting territo- ry, especially in this area. the excite WEtncoinmutsj sportsmen more than his share of times.

If I had to describe a poor sports men it would be the hunter who drives without permission through fields that farmers work so hard to maintain. He is the hunter who shoots recklessly in or near safety zones and never asks permission to hunt on the land in the first place poor sportsman is someone who never follows up on a shot that he thinks "probably missed anyway," or shoots more than his legal limit of game. Litterbugs, be they along the road or in the woods, give considerate hunters everywhere a bad name. But the worst type of poor sportsman is the one who does not do his best to ensure the safety of himself and others. Accidents can happen to even the most carefal hunters, bnt more often than not, the careful hunter will end up being the victim of an acci dent rather than the cause.

Columns about safety are not the moat exciting to write or to read, but I feel that it is my duty to bring the issue of hunter safety to as many people as possible each year. If by doing this one accident is avoided, then it is more than worth the price of a not so-tzciting writing or reading experience. If we were to think about it, I feel sure that we can remember times when we have looked at the safety of our gun to find it in the off position when it should't be. This can be a very scary feeling, especially if it happens when standing around a group of hunting companions.

SaaKiu SfiADITDQ FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE BALTIMORE (AP) Bob Wade has produced star players for ltt years at Baltimore's Dunbar High School. Now, he faces much different tasks as the successor to Lefty Driesell as basketball coach at the University of Maryland. Wade, a basketball and football coach as well as athletic director at Dunbar, was named Driesell's replacement Thursday by university Chancellor John B.

Slaughter. One day earlier, Driesell resigned to become an assistant athletic director at the College Park campus, ending 17 years as Terrapin coach. Criticism about his program, the athletic department and the university fell on Driesell's shoulders after All-American Len Bias died of cocaine intoxication June 19. "He can handle it," Wade's wife, Carolyn, said in an interview. "He's a very strong person and he's going to give it his best shot." Accompanied by his wife and one of his two sons, Wade said the elevation to the college level represents "something we looked forward to all of our lives." "I hope this will be a tremendous marriage between Bob Wade and the University of Maryland," Wade, 1 who told reporters he would answer questions about his plans at a news conference in two weeks, said.

"Since June 19 until yesterday, we've had few things about which we can celebrate," Slaughter told reporters. "Today represents a major change in our fortunes." Slaughter already has begun Implementing several suggestions by a university task force to shift athletic priorities to academics from sports after revelations about the poor academic performances of top athletes. "His character, coaching abilities and emphasis on school academic achievement were the three factors that convinced us," Slaughter said of Wade. The selection drew praise from other college coaches. Georgia Tech Coach Bobby Cremins said he has a great deal of respect for Wade.

"He's had some incredible teams at Dunbar High. Those teams were always well-coached and had a great deal of discipline. It's good to see Bob get an opportunity like this." Georgetown coach John Thompson, called Wade "an outstanding coach with a good basketball program," and said he didn't see Wade's lack of collegiate experience as an obstacle. Pete Pompey, a high school colleague, said Wade "made a committment a long time ago that his kids were going to get an education." Although Wade "feels Len Bias was an adult and he made a decision to (take cocaine)," Pompey said Wade is committed to being tough on drug use. "He's disagreed with some of the things that he (Driesell) did," Pompey, coach at Edmondson High School in Baltimore where Wade once coached, said.

The state prosecutor investigating Bias' death charged that Driesell did too little to discourage drug use and gave insufficient attention to the academic needs of his players. Wade will attend the Terrapins' first basketball practice Saturday and will work at Dunbar until Nov. 14. A graduate of Morgan State University in Baltimore, Wade has posted a 341-25 record during his career Dunbar, with the Poets being voted the top high school team in the country in 1962, 1983 and 1965 by USA Today. Thirty-six Dunbar graduates have gone on to play college basketball after playing under Wade.

More than 90 percent of his players have graduated and gone on to college. Wade, 41, has had a running feud with Driesell, stemming from an incident in 1977 when Terrapin player and former Dunbar standout Ernie Graham said Driesell, whose teams won 524 games, was lax with his players. Driesell shot back that Graham had been trouble since coming from Dunbar. That started a rift between the two coaches. Graham was the last Terrapin to come from Dunbar, a school that has since produced players such as Georgetown's David Wingate.
