GLENN WHITESIDE CAPTURES   -
SAUCY PREDATOR ALIVE AS
IT WAS_EATING PHEASANT
While hunting, Tuesday afternoon,
Glenn Whiteside surprised a large hen
hawk in the act of devouring a full
grown pheasant it had just killed.
When Glenn approached the hawk it
flew away, but soon returned to finish
its meal, and was shot down with a
broken wing, but not killed. The
bird had a fifty-four inch wing spread
and measured nearly two feet tail to
beak.
Glenn brought him home alive and
don't you ever think he wasn't plenty
saucy, especially to Glenn's pup. The
killing of these predators is very
beneficial to the conservation of game
birds.    " "
