The wood ducks are back in East
Texas. The beautiful duck that de
corates this year s duck stamp has
returned to the pin oak flats and
creek bottoms after several seasons
absence.
Opening day of duck season
dawned gray and humid, just right
for hunting squealers. Wood ducks
are called squealers because they
give a call while feeding that can
only he described as a squeal. My
father and I arrived at Boles Creek
just after daylight, in time to see two
bunches of wood ducks flare high
and wide when they spotted our
pickup. Prospects looked good.
We put in our little flat-bottom
boat, planning to float down the
creek to an island in the marsh
where Boles, Johnson, a!nd Striker
Creeks run together. The only prob
lem was that my father hadn’t been
down the creek in a boat in twenty
years and I never had.
Not really knowing what to look
for, we set out. The creek was run
ning strong and clear, with enough
current for good floating. It’s a little
creek with not more than 15 feet of
open water between the sawgrass-
lined banks. I didn’t think it was
deep, but my eight-foot pole rarely
touched bottom.
We were listening for squealers
and looking for squirrels as we went
along, hoping to make it a combina
tion hunt. Soon we heard what we
were listening for, a single squeal.
We eased along quietly, wanting to
get close before the ducks came off
the water.
Suddenly, they were up. I was
the only one with a duck stamp, so
my father was yelling for me to get
them. I was in the back of the boat,
so I had to maneuver a little to get a
clear shot.
That first shot of the season has a
way of getting off target, and I mis
sed clean. Dad was yelling ‘Shoot
again!’’ and I was saying “They’re
too far, ” and by that time they were.
We only saw one other duck the
whole morning, a single flying high
and fast. We never did find the is
land, but we hunted a good woods
on the other side of the creek. The
squirrels weren’t stirring much. Of
the five we saw, we only bagged
one.
You may ask why anyone would
drive 170 miles to Rusk county to
hunt ducks, especially since the
wood duck is a 70 point duck, mean
ing a maximum limit of two. The bag
isn’t nearly as important as the ex
perience.
To spend a quiet morning in
country that looks like it did before
man came, has more value than can
be expressed in monetary terms. To
see the comeback of a duck that was
almost gone a few years ago is a re
ally beautiful thing for anyone who
truly loves the outdoors.
The peace of mind taken from an
outing like this one makes a man
able to cope with city life for another
week. It takes a certain feel for the
outdoors to get its benefits. Too
many go into nature and leave
something of themselves instead of
taking what it has to offer.
Burroughs
walks away
with MVP
LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) —If
Jeff Burroughs is right, American
League pitchers can look forward to
many more years of problems when
he comes to bat.
The Texas Rangers’ young out
fielder gave them plenty in the 1974
season, slugging 25 home runs, bat
ting in 118 runs and hitting .301,
and was named the American
League’s Most Valuable Player
Wednesday following only his sec
ond full season in the major leagues.
“I probably feel the way I do
about the award because I still have
a tremendous amount to learn as a
ballplayer and many more years to
try to learn and accomplish it,” said
Burroughs.
“Maybe it’s modesty, but there’s
so much to learn and I don’t think
I’ve reached my peak yet. At least I
hope not.”
And how does he feel about the
award? “It’s a fantastic honor of such
magnitude that it almost seems like
a fantasy,” said the 23-year-old Bur
roughs.
“I honestly don’t consider myself
with the people I’m now ranked
with, the players who have won the
award before. Joe DiMaggio, Mic
key Mantle, Reggie Jackson—I see
my name with theirs and it just
doesn’t seem realistic.

Women hold 591
legislative seats
WASHINGTON (AP)— Women
increased their ranks in state legisla
tures by 26 per cent in last week’s
elections but still will comprise only
a fraction of the total membership.
Many women won key races,
however, against opponents of the
Equal Rights Amendment which
must be ratified by five more states
before becoming part of the Con
stitution.
With a dozen races undecided,
women have won 125 new seats in
legislatures. This brings their total
to 591, increasing their percentage
from six to eight of the over-all legis
lative strength.
Nearly one-sixth of the women
were elected from one of the
nation’s smallest states, however,
and for the first time in years one
state will be without any women in
its legislature.
New Hampshire, which has a
424-member legislature, will have
103 women in its House, up from
89, and will retain its two women
senators.
