...uncovered by Howard Dice, a private detective, after one boy's parents found out what had been going on. In the course of their investigation, police talked with 125 youths who had been involved. All were between the ages of 13 and 20. Usually, the motive-and the lure-was money. Many of the boys wanted money for maintenance of their automobiles (Idaho grants daylight driving permits to children of 14, regular licenses to 15-year-olds). The usual fees given to the boys were $5 to $10 per assignation...
Shame on TIME for trying to pass off a sloppily stuffed sack of fur as a live elk. All your bugling hunter is going to lure out of that glass-eyed mount are moths...
...Last Dance. A different view, fed by the sensation makers among Bill and Ann Woodward's acquaintances, raised in the press and in millions of conversations the question of possible murder.

Between the gods and the faithful who worship at the 100 Jain* temples of Ahmedabad in western India stand 600-odd priests. Theirs is a hard and holy life; they say ritual prayers, guard temple treasures, abstain from smoking and drinking, sup before sundown (for lamps lure moths to destruction), and wear white cloth pads over their noses and mouths (lest their breathing destroy gnats or germs). Their wages never exceed $5 a month...
Bearskin Bonus. Other U.S. big-game animals give a sterner test to the hunter's skill and endurance. Hunting moose requires long treks into the wilderness of northern Maine, Minnesota, Montana and Wyoming, and hours of expert calling (with a birchbark horn) to lure the big animals into rifle range. The elk, prized for antlers that often rise 5 ft. over its head, have retreated from the plains into the rugged western mountain ranges. Last year 52,000 elk were bagged by hunters who made the extra effort to go after them...
