That's what Game Com mission technicians are at tempting to leam as they carry on what they call a cros.s-sec-tion sampling of the state's gun ners. The hunters themselves get the call to help shed light on the 1962 harvest of all game .species. Hunters are selected at random from the permit lists. Every 20th name in the permit books is selected. In this manner 8.300 hunters are given an opportun ity to aid the Commission in Its work to improve hunting. The main objective of the pro ject is to determine the total harvest. Other information gained, however, includes coun ties where most hunting was done, where best hunting was found, and the average time the hunter took to make a kill. Ducks are handled separately In the survey so that technicians can gain an Insight into how often each type of duck appear ed in the hunter's bag. Squirrel and cottontail information re quested Includes only the num ber of animals bagged during the season. The Game Commission urges hunters who receive cards to fill them out quickly and accur ately, because the information thus gained is vital to the de partment's work in maintaining good huting. The technicians emphasize that the card filled out by a hunter who bagged one or even no pheasants during the season is Just as important as cards from the more successful gunners.

LINCOLN Few sports are more fa-st-moving and exciting than coyote hunting. A cha?e-type coyote hunt, which involves dog packs, pick up trucks, and any number of hunters In a wild scramble over country roads and through the brush, is gaining in popularity with Nebraska sportsmen es pecially In the off-season. The theory of the hunt Is simple. Hunters, using trucks outfitted for hauling dogs, drive until a coyote Is located. Then the pack U released and the chase Is begun. The dogs are usually grey hounds or mixtures of tracking dog and greyhound. Russian wolfhounds are sometimes used as kill dogs. Canines do most of the work and almost always execute the kill. The hunter's role Is one of watching the pack In action and of trying to head off the preda tor. The men do carry guru, but these are seldom used. Hunters Judge the quality of the hunt by the length of the chase and by the methods the coyote uses to elude the pack. In long chases hunters use a re lay system In which fresh dogs are released periodically. Even then, however, a smart coyote with a good set of legs will es cape altogether. Other times will see the cha.se last only a short while this is usually the ca.se when the quarry is young or incapacitated in some way. The airplane provides a vari ation to the hunt. One or two of the hunters Cy over the terri tory until they spot a coyote. They radio or signal to the men in trucks who then speed to the area and release the dogs. ThLs airplane method has its dangers, however, especially If the pilot gets too engrossed In watching the coyote and forgets about flying the plane. Of neces sity, the aircraft must be flown low so it U possible' to spot the coyote. Engine trouble or a mis calculation on the nearness of a highline pole or hillside at such low altitudes is often fatal. Pressure on the coyote popu- The average cow last year produced 7,211 pounds of milk, enough to provide a year's milk supply and other dairy products to slightly more than 11 Amer icans. fcTT-IT i's Q& di FOR HER and FOR HIM, TOO No matter who your VALENTINE may be you are sure to find just the right gift at CASS DRUG.
