WHEN THE OLD BIRD
WAS YOUNGER
It's always nice to know that a guy is a good enough
sport, or sportsman, to tell one that happens on himself.
Of course, there is always the possibility that having
someone else along when it happens makes it easier to
tell when they get back—'cause if the principal doesn't
tell it then someone else is sure to come out with the de-
tails anyway.
Hollis Blackwell had the good fortune of bagging a turkey
gobbler while out hunting a while back on some of his ranch
property. That was what he was looking for so one would guess
it was a real pleasure
10 YEARS AGO- *
(Taken from the Eagle files
of December 13, 1946. >
Word was received here last
week that Corporal Mark Fair-
man, son of Mrs. Lucile Fair-
man had gone husting out of
Anchorage, Alaska and had the
good luck of bagging a large bull
moose. The moose dressed 557
pounds and Its antlers measured
42 Inches from tip to tip. ^
He told a friend how he heard the gobbler and started
to look for him. Finally he saw his head sticking up
through some brush. He got dow « on his belly and started
crawling to gel in range for a kill. After crawling a good
many yards he got within range and about that time the
gobbler again stuck his head up high and this time it was
too bad for the turkey. Hollis raised his gun and lowered
the boom on him.
Then he went up to get his turkey and found out the whole
sad story. The turkey was a tame gobbler that had been staked
out there with feed as a decoy by some of Hollis' hunting bud-
dies.
A1 T Langford was with Hollis on this hunting trip and the
story ';oes that A1 said: "Boy this Is too good to keep a secret, so
you Just as well go ahead and tell the*boys what happened."
