A Hunting We Will Go
A hunting we will go! Charlie
Dorsey went squirrel hunting the
other day and through a mistake
took a high powered shell that his
son had brought him from over
seas. As it happened, this was the
first shot he put in his gun. When
he regained consciousness, he was
sitting in a briar patch.
A few days ago Sidney Collier
and Norman Richardson went
squirrel hunting. They met a
farmer who advised them that his
land was posted and no hunting
was allowed. The boys went on
their way, however, not without
noticing that the farmer’s prop
erty was teeming with game. After
a few days deliberation, they de
cided to try it again in spite of
the warning. This time they en
tered the woods without contact
ing the owner and managed to
get one shot. When the smoke
cleared away, they saw the farm
er coming with a gun in his hand.
Well, Norman and Sidney really
took off then. They ran until Nor
man fell down. Sidney revived
Norman only to learn that the
farmer was on their trial again.
On their next attempt at escap
ing, Sidney got tangled up in a
briar patch, but this did not stop
him. Upon arriving at their car,
they made a hurried exit. The
farmer was last seen waving his
gun as he used rather strong lan
guage to reaffirm his decision con
cerning no hunting on his farm.
The moral of this story is for all
hunters to abide by the “no hunt
ing” regulations on posted farms.
