TITLE THE E-MAIL STORY OR PICTURE "FOR SHOPPER" OR I WILL ASSUME IT'S JUNK MAIL AND NOT OPEN IT. TURKEY SHOOTS By Gary Miller By Rifl e season just opened in Kentucky. Tennessee and Virginia will join the party in a few days. This is, undoubtedly, the best time of the year to be in the deer woods in most states. The bucks are ei- ther cruising in search of a doe or they are already chasing one. You folks in Louisi- ana and Alabama need to take a trip up to your northern neighbors. Any day and any time is the right time to be hunting for a good buck. Take a vacation, pack a lunch, and stay in the woods, because this will be your best opportunity for a wall-hanger.

DeRisiMustangs.com 2 YORKSHIRE TERRIERS BASS OF NOVEMBER November, on a lot of lakes around the country, finds shad dying because of falling water temperatures. Believe me, when this starts happening you need to be on the water. Bass really key on these baitfish and gorge themselves putting on fat for the colder months ahead. Once you locate the schools of shad, start fishing with a ¾ oz. spoon with a snapping, fluttering motion to resemble the dying shad. Also try jigging spoons on any creek channel bed, especially those between 12 and 30 feet deep. Riprap around a causeway is another productive area to try. Use ¼ oz. Rat-L-Traps® on chrome and blue, or 3/8 oz. spinnerbaits with small gold or silver blades.

But no matter how long it may stay open, there are still only a few short weeks that are considered prime hunt- ing days. We hunters affectionately know these days as the rut. It's when the bucks are all hyped up and ready to breed. Their necks swell. They get irritable, and even forgo food for the chance of fi nding a doe that's in heat. It's during these times that hunters have to take advantage of the op- portunity, because these days won't last long. They're numbered. The time will be short. We must be urgent in our pursuit. When I think about this scenario, I think about the Lord's words to his fol- lowers. The Bible says, "He felt great pity I LOOOOVE Phillips Animal Hospital! ...get out & enjoy nature! Gary Miller Aiming Outdoorsmen Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ oward Christ for the crowds that came, because their problems were so great and they didn't know where to go for help. They were like sheep without a shepherd. He said to his disciples, "The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send out more workers for his fi elds." It's like He was saying this is the very best time to hunt, but there are too few hunters. His harvest however, was not deer but people. His desire was to meet their needs and to bring them salvation, but there were not enough of his own hunters who were willing to go into the fi eld. If you notice these words, you will note that Je- sus never said to pray for the harvest. His command was to pray for workers. Today, I fear that we spend too much time pray- ing for the harvest when it is already ripe and not enough time praying for harvest- ers. I hope that you will sense the urgency of the hour. The harvest is too great. The time is too short. And just as this special hunting season will soon pass, even so will the opportunity that some will have to hear the life-changing message that you can share. www outdoortruths.or www..outdoortruths.org WE CARE ABOUT YOUR PET'S NEEDS • Spays • Neuters • Vaccinations Call Today About Our November Specials!
