SPORTSMAN'S SPOT
The most recent meeting of the Scrtsmans Club was a good one* The attendance was
high and several new members joined the club. Welcome to new members Lupien,
Petruski, Miller, Beeson, Buck, Fishier, Dunnell, Binkley, Kellog, Sears, and .
Hoye. Three individuals, Buck, Defrain and Eberly passed theit* varmit tests and ■
were thereby accepted into the order of the "Salty Seal Hunters*" Good luck and
hope all your seals float, fellows. Plans have been received for building a seal
fleshing and drying shed adjacent to the club so you will- have a place to process
your seal hides. The hunting dog movie was a real fine one - only one bit of in
formation lacking. Where can you find a good seal dog?
Understand there was an unfortunate incident recently on Adak which involved a ••
boy bitten by a fox as he attempted to remove it from the' trap* Although the bite
was not severe, the problem was magnified because the incident was not immediately
reported and the fox was killed and disposed of* This made it necessary for the
young man to go through the complete series of painful rabies innoculations to ,
insure ttjat complications did not develop. If you are bitten by a fox, dog, or oth^L
animal, report to the Medical Department immediately* Steps will then be taken to
capture the animal and place it under observation. This will make it unnecessary
for you to go through the rabies series and you may also be protecting someone ;
else from injury. Most important‘take due precautions when removing foxes from traps.
Fishing*News; Although the best fishing is still several months off, numbers of
eager fishermen have been wet,ting their salmon eggs in the fresh water streams with
reported success. No real big ones but plenty of trout that are-, just right size
for the frying pan,
Hikers and Hunters; Now that the "balmy Adak spring weather" is here, the hikers
and picnicers will become more plentiful. Hunters continue to take this into ac
count when you select*your hunting area and before you do any shooting.
Did you take matches and a small first aid box last time you went up in the hills
or down to the beaches? -
Next meeting - - Monday, 25 February
