Peters of Red Feather fame declares that they flare back with the wind at a rate of 5.000 miles an hour. C. H. was out tyi the sand hills and found him self parked alongside a small lake which gave no cover near its shore line. He fixed up a place.from which to shoot, Just as close to the lake as possible hut ouit* a ways away at that. The Mallards would struggle slowly against the wind right past him but over the waPr and out «julle a distance.' As soon ha <\ H. rose up to fire the birds would flare and be gone in no time at all. The wind was very strong and he estimated that as soon as they flared as much as an inch that they ueie jumped back forty to fifty feet. Te tried Wiling until they passed a certain dump of grass and then rising up and firing in line with a clump many yards behind. He shot oxer 100 times and never got a feath er. "The wind took them so fast that to get them you had to lead behind them on Tuesday, puii your trigger and then pick up the birds when they fell on Wednesday, ' says he. QciamUed WANTS NO I’llACTIO!
