Jack only attended school for a total -of three months. Instead, hie spent much of bis childhood studying the habits of anirnals at the creek near bis bouse. At tiir- teen Jack began bunting for profit ta help support bis famaily. The community recognized Jack's superb woodsmansbip and a group of Kingsvillo's most promi- nent citizens askod him if hoe would accompany thom on a deer- ý,. hâe trip was successful and Jack began to spend more of bis ârne leading sportsmen. He acquired a noputation as "the groatest hunter in Canada." Then, on a moose hunting trip in 1898, a gun misfired and bit bis brother Ted in the back of the head. Ho died instantly. Jack was devastated. But in bis grief he was persuaded to go to church. Jack's sympathy went out to a group of disruptive young boys and ho volunteered to teach Sunday school. Jack entbralled the boys with adventures of the woods and had tbern read biblical passages relat- ing to nature. In return, the boys taught Jack to read. Moanwhile, Jack continued to take p loasuro in hunting. One morning ho spot- ted a family of six Canada geese nean bis home - a rare éent. Ho hitched up bis buggy and hoaded out to where ho tiiought the geese would be feed- ing. Sure enough, the geese headed straight for Jack. But when tbey came close enough to see him Uic leader lot out a loud "khonk' and the geese darted away. Jack was convinced that the, birds recognized him and regarded him as an enerny. Jack decided to befriend the geeso. The following year ho flooded one of the pits on bis land and bought several turne geese to act as docoys. For four years'tie geese refused to corne. Finally, in 1908 eleven arrived. In 1909, tiore were Lirty- two. In 1910, tl4ere were four hundred. Jack A I N <Minon's sanctu- -ary had become a home for the migrating geese. In 1909 Jack began banding birds. A frien dly duck named Katie was his first subject. Ho took a piece of alu- minum, scratched bis address on the band and wrapped it around Katie's log. Two rnonths later ho recoived a letton fnom a hunter in North Carolina who had shot 'Ihe Heritage Projoct is proud to bo associated with the International Year of tho Fanflly.

Lettons began pouning in from all over the country - some fro m people who had shot a goose and wanted to lot Jack know, othens from people who were inspined by his unique messages. Over the next thirty yearsJack gave lectures acnoss North Amn- erica encouraging hundreds of thousands of people to support conservation. With the help of bis son ho publishied frequent articles and two books., In 1930, ho embarked on the biggost personal challenge of bis life - bis autobiography. For four- teen years ho struggled to describe what nature and religion meant to him. Twenty-five years after bis death WiId Goose Jack was pub-, lished.
