surely you old timers remember the Pa Game News Tip of the month that use to be in the magazine?
Like...Taking a 12 gauge empty shell and a 20 gauge empty shell and using it to carry wooden matches in.. Just run the two together to make a water proof container..
Also for ringneck hunting... Put a transistor radio at the end of a field...Put it on a loud station..Could be music or could be talking.. Now the hunters starting at the other end of the field walk in slowly..Now see the birds will run on these hunters as they walk toward the end. However when the ringneck or hens hear the music or talk show on the radio they hold tight... When hunters reach the radio they flush all the birds that held tight because of the radio playing..
Take a Carpenter pencil...Run the lead up and down your zipper on your hunting coat or jacket...This ...graphite from the pencil tip makes the zipper run freely and not get snagged.
Sew a large Button on the top of your hunting coat shoulder...Place it on the shoulder you carry your gun...The button will stop the sling from your hunting or shotgun from slipping of your shoulder.. In other words when it slides to the side the button catcher or stop the sling from slidding off..
Then there was the articles on
DANNYS DAYS AFIELD". Gee Danny you had such a neat grandfather who took you hunting for doves, ringneck, fox, chucks...My grandfather never took me hunting DANNY!!!!!!
