It has been reported that several
persons have recently been hunting
deer on San Juan, Orcas, Lopez and
other islands of this county with dogs.
To do this is in direct violation of sec
ton 247 of the penal code of Washing
ton, which may be found in End Hills
/ code. Our statutes provides that any
person convicted of hunting, or even
chasing deer with dogs in this state,
shall upon conviction, pay fine OF
not less than fifty dollars, or more than
five hundred dollars for each offense,
and in case of non payment OF tine,
shall suffer thirty DAYS imprisonment

any persons who desires to hunt TO
leave their dogs at home in the future.
as the law protecting deer is very
strict and any person violating 1t is
liable to prosecution.
