But it will make a big difference. when you’re out hunting.” Another important aspect many people who are outside the world of bow hunting don’t understand is the need to remain clean. As odd as that sounds, due to the animals’ sense of smell being so strong, hunters need to reduce their body odor in order to enhance the chances of getting close enough to get off a good shot. “Some people clean off in a lake or river, but you can bring actual portable showers,” Plyer
said. “That’s what I use when I go. It’s a good pop up shower. And with the water getting heated by the sun it’s pretty comfortable.” There are products that help bow hunters stay clean. “There are shampoos, soaps and even gum that help kill the human body odor so you can get closer to the animals,” Plyer said. “These animals can smell a human and it really helps to be as clean as possible.” The archery hunt runs through Sept. 11 unless otherwise noted. “I can’t wait to go,” Thompson said. “It’s going to be great.” sschulte@davisclipper.com

e heard that the price of oil has increased are anticipating gas prices to soar again. Three small maintenance items can affect fuel economy, and are worth checking at your next oil change. These three simple maintenance items can help you get better gas mileage. Air Filter - A dirty air filter will not cause the engine to run bad, stall, or misfire, but a dirty filter can cause reduced fuel economy. Have your air filter inspected on your next 3,000 mile oil change. Fuel Filter - Fuel filters become clogged with dirt and debris during normal operaiton and should be replaced to increase perform-
ance, fuel pump life, and aid in fuel economy. Spark Ralph Barlow Plugs & 299-1881 Wires - Worn or faulty spark plugs/wires can cause misfire, poor mileage, loss of power, and slow or extended starting time. Have your plugs and wires inspected. Tire Pressure - Correct tire pressure can increase fuel economy also. Make sure these items are frequently maintained at recommended intervals and your fuel economy should be at its best.
