Kent Spicer cracking” the football pads during a tackle, or Missy McCombs thumping her way around the track for a first place ribbon, these sounds are clear. The high point of any season for a team or an individual is receiving a varsity uniform for the first time, lettering, and sometimes going to state competition. Coaches generally agree that practice is just the right ticket to a successful year. r

 In Nebraska the would-be hunter found the fall season full of opportunity. Duck season opened October 21. while pheasant season opened November 5. followed by deer and antelope seasons which opened November 15. A license to hunt deer or antelope in the state of Nebraska cost $20. For duck and pheasant a license cost $22. while for fishing, a permit cost $7.50. A somewhat cheaper way to do both hunting and fishing was to buy a combined license for $17.50. A habitat stamp cost $7.50 for each one purchased. A limited number of licenses to Fall Pastimes hunt elk or deer were issued, and names were selected randomly from those that applied to receive a license to hunt elk or moose. The would-be hunter had to buy his license early to hunt deer and antelope because licenses were sold on a first-come first-serve basis for certain designated areas. Flowever, permits to fish were easily obtained in most sporting goods stores, banks, and state parks. Oliver Reserve, located eight miles west of Kimball, provided a haven for fishermen. The lake was stocked with different varieties of fish, from bluegill to catfish. What- ever sportsmen preferred, hunting or fishing both provided fun and entertainment. Kenny Greenwood summarized the hunting and fishing pastimes by saying. The population of pheasants the last couple of years was far below what Western Nebraska’s habitat has sustained in the past. The rest of Western Nebraska's wildlife has been at a normal level. In the past year fishing at Oliver Reserve was more productive than in many years. Bass, trout, crappie. and bluegill were usually the fish most often caught.” ¥ T i { Tim Wangler poses with his dog as they prepare to hunt for pheasant and quail. The season opened in October.
