To the department of "it'll happen every time" belongs Buddy Norton's Thanksgiving Day hunting story. On the way back to his car from a duck hunt Thanksgiving afternoon, Buddy and Elmire came upon a big flock of turkeys. They could have killed their limit except for the fact that he was carrying a gun in one hand and a fishing pole in the other and she had two Greenhead Mallards in one hand and three big bass in the other. The fish were caught on a "sorry" bait with which Buddy was trying to fish one of the ducks out of the river after he shot the two. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Downs Offers Hunters Prizes Totaling $100 New Year's Day, W.
