Are Opened Up to Access, and Old
Hunters Prophecy Great Sport This
Year
Rangeley, September 20.-While enjoying
the grouse and partridge shooting, which
is now excellent in this region, Rangeley
and Dead river guides, as we'll as hotel men
and sportsmen, are discussing the prospects
for big game the coming season. which
opens October !, for moose, deer and
caribou.
Last year was an unusual season. Big
game showed remarkable increase. and
hardly a sportsman failed to secure his
share, especially Of deer.
The guides predict even better things for
this season, as never before have they run
upon game so frequently as the past sum-
mer.
Many interesting and we'll verified ex-
periences are related by sportsmen who
have made excursions into the deep forest
after.lake trout. Much new territory has
been opened up this year. Lake and wood
that never before heard the crack of the
rifle are now accessible to the sportsmen.
Parker pond, a little body of water re-
Gently reached by road. has revealed new
Kingdoms to the most widely travelled
hunters.
In two hours a company of local business
men counted here eighteen deer. A few
days later N. W. Boylston and party Of
Boston, between and p. M. saw twenty
five deer, large and handsome.
The same week W. j. Entwing, we'll
known Philadelphia sportsman. and Mr..
n. NJ. Pierce saw. between a. m. and p.
m. seventeen deer, making total of sixty
deer seen in ten hou and one-half. These
are all reliable parties. and this is said to
be record.
The fishing for the season has been we'll
up to the-standard, while he travel has far
exceeded that of any previous year. Many
noted men have visited this region this
year, including Senators Voorhees, of Indi-
ana and Frye of Maine, ex-Gov. Long of
Massachusetts and Congressman Dingley of
Maine.
Senator Frye is now at his camp in Moose
lookmeguntic lakes and plans to tarry long
enough to get shot at native deer and
possible moose.
