Tho Came Laws-Expcriencc OF an old
Hunter and anfde.

Our recent article on the game laws, and their
liability to be broken, has called out response
from al old trapper and guide, Mr.. Jonathan Darl-
| ing, of Lowell, in this State. lie says he was
one Of the guides on the occasion of the Massa-
cbusctts parties coming here and helping them
selves to the deer. He insists that all the twelve
deer were not killed by dogs: admits that strict
game law would be good thing Tor the State,
though people from other States, who say they
have to be the purchasers Of our deer at an enor-
nous price, when killed and sent to them, claim
that they ought to have the privilege Of coming
here to hunt, especially when every deer they Kill
| costs them one hundred dollars. They get the
resident hunters and boatmen to 20 with them,
and pay them big wages. The Massachusetts par
ty, before referred to, took eight for guides
and their deer cost them dollar pound. We
further quote Mr.. Darling own language "Some
people have notion that running deer with dogs
drives them out Of the country. That is not so ;
the dogs don't catch them when they want to get
away from a dog they will go to the water and run
or swim till they get away from the dog. On an
average five out Of six get away from the hunters.
When there is no the ground about one
half get wounded and escape, when | am unac
| conpanied by dog; they go away and die, and
become a total loss. The last Of September and
October they bring good price in the market,
but in the wiuter the western hunters glut our
markets, and bring down the prices. There
hundreds OF deer killed every writer when the
snow is deep, and in violation of law. The deer
are then very poor, aud it is altogether worth
less slaughter
Deer that are driven into the water by dogs arc
shot in the head and are dressed in decent shape,
but when shot on the land are often shot up bad
and get dirty and look bad. | have killed tnem a
long way back in the woods aud have almost
ugyed the soul out OF me getting them out, and
you would say if you should and see
how round shouldered am. l say we can get
more money out of our deer to let sporting men
from other states have the same PRIV eye that we
do and kill deer any way we choose IN the proper
time and when the snow Is deep and they are
nearly worthless, enforce our game laws. The
| suggestions CT our respondent are entitled to
weight, as he had thirty years experienceln the
business Of hunting.
