                  PORE OLE UNLUCKY BUDDY NORTON!



 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.
