P.E.I. Constable; Relates Capture of Sly Poacher

The following entertaining story by Special constable J. S. Jenkins appears in the current issue of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Quarterly:

"Listen, Joe," 1 told him. "You've had a long run. You're lucky. You could have been fined 8300- R6- member that."

HQ scratched his jaw. "Guess maybe you're right."

"What puzzles mo," I continued, "is why you took so much trouble to bum the feathers and other parts, and left the gimards W111i around. l-Iow come?"

".I didn't throw them on the chip pile," he returned. "1 buried them. Those damn hens scratched them up."

which goes to prove tiist merely scratching the surface sometimes bass s. criminal.

In Prince Edward Island all poachers are not named Joe; nor are all Joes poachers. 1t ls merely coincidence that ‘Joe the lvox’ bears the same monlcker as ‘Joe the Poacher’.

Both men had one thing in conunon; each was on my books for s. considerable time before being liquidated. True enough, Joe the Poacher presented quite a problem: but this was nothing compared to my difficulties in apprehending Joe

the Pox.

The Fox lived with his father and an aged uncle on a lonely third- Efflde road at the head of st. Peters Lake. The lake's outlet ts in the north of the province. From here it runs approximately two miles in- land to a shallow cove witlilrl seventy-five yards of Joe's barn. I named the cove after Joe.

The lake was a favourite breed- I ins-ground for black ducks. After the birds learned to fly, they seem- ed. for some unknown reason. uri- willing to leave Joe's cove. Like Murphy's pool-room, the place was a regular hang-out. Choioe flocks o1 black ducks favoured the shal- lows in the dawn or dusk of late- summer days. The heavy blueberry barrens that lined the east side of the lake provided an ideal feeding- ground for the birds; often hund- reds of ducks could be seen work lug diligently to fill their crops. Although Joe had been Dbachinft for some time he was brouzht to my attention first in i935. He nfiOt a quacker belonging to a resident of the district. That was a mistake named the cove after Joe.

"This Joe," the quackcr-owner complained. “is bad for the ducks. He don't raise any on his farm. When he wants one, he shoots it; but he shouldn't have shot my quacker." (English ‘call ducks‘ are generally known as quackers and were employed as live decoys he- fore the practice became illegal.»

I examined Joe's cove closely; it was a natural poaching site. A thick growth of fir and spruce Ila- ed the banks; and a path from Jzrrs barn ended in a natural blind. 1t was aslmple matter for Joe to stroll down to the cove at dawn or dusk, make himself comfortable, and pick his shot--slmplc as falling oil‘ a lcg.

“so Joe»

I thought it would be just as simple to bug Joe. But l was mis- taken. August dziwus brokn rub- llmely on St. Peter Luke. Ducks tipped up and gzibbled ‘r. Joe's cove. And I grow more and more impatient as I waited for lh.‘ "Emil of an easy capture. The scltng us- sumecl .1 sameness. Dawns, ducks. smoke from Joe's Cfhillllfr" Chili"? lazily above the tree l." . into the clear air, sounds of aczlt‘ v in the farm-yard; but no gunfire. no un- usual disturbance no Jae.

After each failure. ‘he bitter thought crossed my mind..that an- other negative patrol must be writ- ten off.

I never showed myself nmr the cove. Later I learned ilui: Ice was totally unaware of my interest in him. During my man: forays I discovered much about my poach- lng friend. l-le never indulged in his marketing’ oftener than twice a week, and in some lIlStilrlCEs cut it. down to once. Apparently he was not s union man; for he worked either in early morn-pg or lnle evening. No consistency in the man. except in his ability to evade cap- ture. Ancthexnthlng, he never fired into a large flock. N0 pig in the poke for Joe. He preferred to pick his bird with the same deliberation that Mrs. McGlnty chooses her Sunday roast at the butcher's. He usually selected a pair or trio.

In a sense Joe didn't cause as much harm as some hunters who enjoy the protectioncf the law. But a poscher is a poacher. And the law is law. Besides. Joe's dis- ease was catching. shooting out of

in the St, Peter's Lake district. I in my line of duty. was the only cf- fective serum capable of checking the spreading malady.

Another dawn. Sept. i0, i940. came While making my early morning rounds I visited my friend who had lost the quacke s. "Joe la still at it," he told mo. "I hear shots coming from the direc- tion of his place, and then ducks fly."

"Guess I'd better look him over,"

my informant offered. "Joe is too darn cute t.o leave any signs around. He's like a fox. Joe ls."

"True." 1 admitted, "but even an old fox often falls for s very simple trick. Joe cooks the ducks before he ate them, doesn't he?"

Sudden interest flickered in his eyes. "f see." he said thoulhtfiliiy-

I took nc risk in tipping my hand so early. Icr Joe had no phone: my quachar. friend had no car. There was no way my intentions could be communicated to the crafty Joe.

I drovb off reflecting that Bec- tioa i: o! the Migratory Birds 0on- ventlon Act grants wide powers in the right to search. A same or peace officer may enter a suspects premises to examine the pantry urelves or the cook-stove oven. During my eleven years as game officer I have rarely exercised my

The short, oltlish. hump-backed mmi would be Joe's uncle. The father. a lull, elderly man will: a. shrcvrd face, fln=hccl a glance ‘.0- wnrds his soil, than looked at me a-gniu. J00. h mscll. was also tall. Hc had a hatchet lncc, shifty light blue eye.- and a sandy-coloured mop of hnlr. A typical poacher.

"I-lclio, Joe." I greeted easily. "Mind ii‘ I lock around?" I flllfllved mv authority lo search the pre- mls-rs for migratory game birds, or parts thereof.

“Go zilutad," lze answered. “Search your head oti, You'll find nothin‘ here." '

A slight brcnthlcssuess in hisl speech bclcd his bold words. I grinnczl. Evcu at this early stage he was (ibrit. sly worried. I walked ‘toward the c p pile and chopping- block, a favourite starting-place of mine, Joe and his father trailed along bchlufi, while the uncle took clnrc nf the horses. Out of the corner 0i my eye I sow that Joe's hands were twitching; several tlmrs he wet his lips wrn his tongue, Nervous? He was like a hen with her chicks before a thunder-storm But there was ho sign of blood on the chopping-block, no short neck feathers.

The buzzing of blow-flies drew me to the corner of like chip pile. Blow-flies are great, friends of mine . . . at times. Helpful little friends blotir-flics-at a. time like this. I approached them slowly; and my nose told me that somewhere near was something substantial-sub- stantially putrid. A ground object lay on the chips with a long, black, cord-like appendage trailing from it. It was n. glzzard, ripe and juicy with the odour of a baker's dozen of rotten eggs; but I pounced on it like a trout rising to an anglers cast. A yard or so away were two more. one quite fresh.

"Chicken glzzards." Joe's father explained.

I slit the fresh glzzard with my pocket knife. Blueberries tumbled out.
