COPS PROTECTION OF YoUNa DEER
An old Canadian hunter declares that the
reason why the wild deer are not all killed
when young Gas they breed once year and
are always surrounded by other animals
which prey upon them, as dogs, wolves,
bears, panthers, ect.,) is that "mo dog or
other animal can smell the track of doe
or fawn, while the latter is too young to
take care of itself" He stated that he
had often seen it demonstrated He had
taken his dogs over tie ground where he
had just before seen them pass, and they
would take no notice of the track, and
could not be induced to follow when taken
to the spot, while they would instantly dis
cover the track of any deer not having
young ones. This is but one proof of the
adoption of the natural laws to preserve life
when it most needs protection
