1t is estimated that, besides those
shipped by rail- 1000 deer were killed in
the Bangor & Aroossook Railroad
country in 1897, some of them being
transported by other conveyance, some
eaten by the sportsmen and a great
many consumed in the lumber camps,
which get mort of their fresh meat
supply from this source. 1t is gem
crafty estimated that about one-half
the deer killed in the whole State are
shot in the Bangor & Aroostook region
which would make the total kill IN
Maine for 1897 about 5000 head.
Washington and Hancock counties
furnish the next best hunting grounds.
and it is likely THAT the completion,
next month, of the Washington County
Railroad, Will attract many sportsmen
to that region, although tine railroad
does not penetrate tine interior, merely
skirting the coast.
The new guide system works well,
and is admitted to have already had
considerable effect in putting stop TO
poaching. The game commissioners
are credited with having accomplished
a great deal of good with the small ap-
preparation at their disposal, only
about $4,000 of the $4,000 being avail
able for the protection of big game.
the remainder be ing devoted to the
propagation of fish
1t is believed to be altogether likely
that some further changes will be
made in the game laws next winter.
Petitions will be numerous. asking for
all kinds of laws, but the changes most
generally advocated will be to provide
for a close time on moose for five
years, prohibition of the marketing of
game birds. and the abolition of the
bounty of S. per head on bears Elk
perienced sportsmen claim THAT, with
out absolute protection for five years,
moose will soon be exterminated in
Maine, and, as it is estimated that
every visiting sportsman who gets a
moose spends $500 here, the animals
seem to be worth saving
cartridges are very scarce. this year,
and it is claimed that if the market
hunters cannot be stopped there will
soon be none of these birds in the
State.
AS for the bears, the bounty of IS,
added to the price of the skin, has
made it an object for hunters to take
all they can get, by shooting or trap
ping. and it is fact that bears are be-
coming scarce. Many sportsmen say
it is better sport to kill bear than TO
kill dozen deer. and hence the propo-
sitiOn to abolish the bounty and give
bruin a chance for his life.
