WAINQLKETONEN Omaha Nimrods Need 13-Inch Mortar To Bag Limit of Ducks Nowadays Every fall when the ducks and geese begin winging for the south land, Frank Latcnscr. ictor Deitz, Tom McShanc nnd C A. Hall beat it for a leafy shack situated up the river 20 miles dV so. It is their opinion that the, Missouri has it all over the riatte as far as birds are concerned. Here they shoot at ducks to their hearts' content. "In the old days one could go out and get a tubt-il of cucks with out using two shells, but when the birds comedown m the tall nowa days, in flocks of two and three turds, ou have to use an tf-guage loaaea with nails to bag one," says Charlie Hall. Frank Latcnscr, one of the origi nal members of the Omaha H:t ana Miss club, has a boat in construction now that will make duck hunting seem like an expedition into par.idise. Showers, modern electrical cooking equipment, elegant bunks and a store room big enough' for a trans-Pacific troop ship are among the features of this classical barge. Doc" Earnest Manning, -former city health commissioner, and Dr. Frank Conan are a coupie in Omaha sportsmen who have barely missed a day of any shooting season since they could hre a shotgun w.un out falling down. Shortage of Decoys. Last fall there was a shortage of decoys, so all concerned decided to rrtake their own. They had a local saw mill make them a lot of square blocks of wood with necks on them, and after using their pocket knives for a few days they hiially cieceivea themselves into thinking that they had some decoys. They floated them, but nix, the ducks would . not be coerced, so irank Latenscr steerea his flivver into town and got a load of oil paints. The gang then painted the ducks so brilliantjy that when they floated them several parrots and flamingoes wanted to alight on the watfu. When a tribe ot aucKS did happen along, however, they all went color blind and came down. On this memorable - day Charlie Hall came home with 22 ducks and the Hit and Miss club held a celebration that lasted until one of the members knocked down seven ducks with one ierk of the trigeer. ifut eood shooting in the autumn was exceptionally poor in the last few years. Ihe ducks go south in large flocks a .mile above the earth and with marvelous velocity. In the spring they come up the creek lazily, sometimes staying a month or two in some favored snot. "If one's wishes could have full play, then I would wish that spring would be autumn, and fall, spring, as far as fishing and hunting are con cemed. said Charlie. All one would have to do in the spring to get a full bag of ducks would be to' take out the .22 caliber rifle and shoot through a bevy of them. The exact amount wanted. 2. would come down floo. floo. splash, into the pond." Need 13-Inch Mortar. But when the frost is on the pump kin a fellow ought to be equipped with a 13-inch mortar. The way to get the duck would be to wait until he was sitting pretty and preening his feathers, and then let fly the whole broadside at him. If he es- caoed. whv. maybe .another duck would come down later in the sea son, and you could try the cxperl mcnt all over again." "Keen observers will have the chance to witness the heaviest north ward flight of drrsks and geese since the days of Columbus, if they so wish,", said Hall "Ibe birds started OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 1921. coming up here early because of the j Hastings, Xeb., March 19.

George W. Koster, department chief, purchased the birds from a Kansas game farm. Twelve of the birds already have been delivered, and have been entrusted with responsmic farmers in the state. Until a, few years ago, Nebraska was well stocked witn pneasanib. Hunters, however, have killed them off.

Many persons in the state interested in the propagation of thes beautiful birds arc reported to have been fairly successful in raising them.
