Page 79 special trains during fair week and people came on them by the thousands. When the fair closed school started. Pheasant season opened in October with the season open all day and a limit was seven birds. Three could be hens. I winged as many birds then as now. But there is and was a difference. I could run them down with ease. One day Blake and I decided to go duck hunting. He had heard Lake Byron was loaded with ducks. I don't remember if we had our car or his. When we got to Byron the shore line in one spot was covered with bodies & heads sticking up. We walked, we stooped, we crawled on hands & knees and then on our bellies. When we looked over a rise in the ground we were face to face with a thousand mud hens. After that most of my hunting was for the ring neck. I remember when the first stop & go sign was installed in Huron. It stood in the center of Dakota Ave. and third street. It was four or five inches square and probably five feet high. |
