Ducks in Tennessee Hide From Hunters in Shooting Hours
Reelfoot Lake Tenn Jan 2 The ducks cooperate with the state conservation department and seem to comply with the hours. Shooting does not begin until 8 o clock in the morning and ends at 4 in the afternoon. Most birds rise before 8 and seek protection on the river, helping wardens remove temptation. In the afternoon they return after 4 to resume activity though not all waterfowl belong to the wardens. It is sporty shooting with rapid action as a fast moving bird outpaces a slow boat.
