Dove Seasons Open
Sept 4th
The homes of many of North
Carolina's hunters have taken
;on some rather strange aromas
in recent days.
' In the evenings, the master of
the house - unless the wife
wears the pants - has secreted
V wmsett m ws den, am the
faintf
auini w wniiniwB, urn uiccbc aiiu
moldy clothes is being wafted
under the door jamb. Lumps of
dry dirt have appeared on the
..rup and stray feathers can be
found on the sofa. Over all this
: hangs the smell of damp dogs.
There is, however, a simple
explanation. The dove hunting
. season Is drawing nigh,
i : Unless you are a hunter, you
will not understand that the
scent of slightly ripe bananas is
. : really the smell of Hoppes No. 9,
i a gun solvent commonly used to
clean fowling pieces. The moldy
smell obviously comes from the
t , hunting clothes that have been
' packed up for the summer, and
, the scent of deceased cheese is
. explained by the fact that an
ancient piece of this stuff was
finally located in one of the
- pockets.
The lumps of dry dirt have
1 fallen from the soles of boots,
and the feathers have drifted out
of various game pockets.
The business about the damp
dogs is explained by the fact that
the master of the house is being
followed from room to room by
his canine companions-which
have also caught the fever of the
gcason ' "
