Wild Duck Shot At Brubaker Dam During Open Season Close
Harry Gohn of Wrightsville shot a fine wild duck at Brubaker's dam on Friday. The duck was mounted by Atwood Kreider. Seven ducks were harvested locally this season, more than in several years. A hunter tried to shoot his first duck, fell into the water chasing the bird, and the clever diver duck escaped. Snipe hunting continues with a four-person party at the Jong swamp near Hopeland. The trout season opens Monday and many anglers plan to seek mountain streams. The season ends July 31 with a daily limit of forty speckled beauties. Suckers have also been reported in good numbers.
