. EXPERIENCE . . . From time
to time it's been a pleasure to
chronicle in this report some of
the doings of the very younger
generation of sportsmen none
more than 10 years old with pole
and line.
Now it's the turn of the other
end of the scale. Just recently news
was made by a couple of hunters
who have been tramping out in
the field altogether for more than
120 years and still at it.
One of the stories concerns
"Uncle" Joe Hargrove of Haywood
County, 73 years old. who has
hunted bear 50 years. The story
comes from W. B. Poston, refuge
protector of the rugged Daniel
Boone Wildlife Area in Haywood.
Poston offers a caption for the
story: ' The Boys Get Their Wish.
The wish was that Uncle Joe would
get the bear, if luck fell to mem
bers of the Hargrove Club who
went on a managed hunt in the
Daniel . Boone Area early this
month.
Uncle Joe took his stand high
in the roughs above Sams Knob.
When the dogs found a bear, at
first it appeared that Uncle Joe
was out of luck. Poston says, but
then the bear made a turn and
went to his stand and Uncle Joe
put the proper finish on the story
by bagging the 400-puunder with a
couple of shots.
PERSISTENCE . . . From his
half-century of hunting experience.
Uncle Joe can summon an object
lesson for hunters who discourage
easily when game doesn't show up
right away during a hunt
Some years back. Uncle Joe says,
nis club hunted all the bear ranges
of Sherwood and the Smoky Moun
tains without finding a track. They
vowed they'd get a bear that season
even if they had to go to the coast.

Well, the upshot was that the club
did go to the coast and brought
back two liears.
FLORA AND FAUNA . . . From
down in Currituck' comes the oth
er story proving thai hunters don'l
outgrow the urge to get into the
field.
The central figure in litis one
is Sheriff Boh Flora. 83 years old
and a hunter for more than Til
years. Just recovered from a spell
of pneumonia. Sheriff Flora wa-;
resting at home one Saturday
morning when his grandson L? 1 1 ' .

possibility of a (h-er hunt. The
sheriff didn't hesitate.
The hunters took six hounds to
the Guinea Mill area After a two
hour wait the hound ran a deer
to the stand, and Sheriff Hob bar
ged him with a load ot buckshot
from a Hi-gauge shotgun. The buck
scaled 150 pounds.
BIG BOY . Me v;wi't on a
