How Can You?
The deer hunting season is in fullswing and on the first two
ays of the season there were elven reported killed, all legal
uc s with the required length of antlers. There were no re
ported accidental shootings which is a very fortunate circum
* ance because there were hundreds of hunters millingaround
rough the wooded areasand sometimes the least littlestrange
floise under an excitable moment will bring a slug winging its
way toward a man which has been mistaken for wild game
ut—there isa note of sadness already injected intoKodiak’s
eer hunting season. Someone killed a doe, by mistake it is
ooped. but nevertheless she was killed and left for the blow
les and smaller animals to devour. Surely no one would will
u ly kill a doe. Personally I am to chicken hearted to shoot a
•uck, let alone a doe.
f was riding out Mill Bay Road one night this summer just
at dusk. It was a beautiful warm night, a slight breeze blow
ing in off the ocean and Mother Nature was resplendent in all
her beauty with the various blossoms premeating the air. At
the turn in the road as yon come into Solberg domain, right in
the center of the road, stood a doe. As the carcame within ten
feet of her she nimbly jumped to the-shoulder of the-road and
■stood there watching u& with those great big so£t,eyes, not in
the least intimidated at our tresspassing on her terrain. One
of the girls,, in the car walked up to w.itbin five feet of the doe
and then the doe SDrinted away for about ten feet. What I’m
getting at is, that little doe was so tame I believe you could
have petted her and she would have fed right out of your
hand.
What I want to know is, “How can you 3hoot one?”

Curley Pastes Buck
As Leonard Gets One
A party of four hunters de
parted from Kodiak at 3 am on
the morning of August 20th to <
bag a buck. Because of very
limited time in which to get
their wary game everything
was speeded up. The party re
turned to Kodiak at 8:3C with
one fine four point buck in tow
and this is supposed to be the
first buck to get taken in the
Kodiak area.
Dave Leonard was the for
tunate nimrod that won the 4
point but his cohorts, Paul
Foster, Hap Pierce and Curley
Wilson were handy to have a
round to drag in the meat.
Word is getting arouud that
Curley took comb and shears
along because the condition of
the Hide and hair, on arriving
back in Kodiak, was nearly
perfect. A trim was in evi
dence.
