The beginning ofthe open season for deer in
Waldo County fter a close time Of SIX years,
started lively interest in deer hunting, and
a number have been killed as noted below.
So many are in the woods with rifles that
there is danger of some one being accident
ally shot, and many farmers have posted
notices forbiidng all persons from cunning
on their premises. Among these is William
j Brown of Southwest Belfast, who has had
valuable heifer killed by hunters, while
another belonging to a neighhor has disap-
peared and is supposed to have been "bag-
ged" as well as killed, Mr.. Browns hefer
was severely wounded and died after it was
taken to the barn. If the notices he has
posted are not needed Mr.. Brown threatens
to do some shooting himself.
An incident near Duck Trap shows what
might have happened. Samuel Stevens
while hunting with a rifle saw two deer in
range and was leveling his piece on them
when, from directly opposite him, came a
report and both animals fell before the gun
of Roy Dean, with large charge of buck
shot. Had.MI. Stevens fred his rife Dean
was in just the right position to receive the
ball had it missed its mark.
Local sportsmen are killing the deer in
Waldo county quite rapidly now that the
law is off. The following are repo rted to
date: R. F. Dunton, one in Searsmont,
George Daggett one in Morrill,, Mr. Alley
one at Mt Waldo, Leon Armstrong one in
South Belfast, Joseph Flag one in Lincoln
vile, W Washington Tower one in Belmont,
Albert Dean two in Linconville, Maurice
Clark, Prospect, one doe Reuben Sibley
Freedom, two deer; two shot in Liberty Mr..
Linscott of Appleton, one in Searsmont; Mr..
Plummer, one in Monroe.
A number of deer hunters from this Sec
tion are in the woods in Northern and East
ern Maine, including Lewis F. Cannon and
| Charles Thomas, Belfast, and Messrs. White
and Ingalls,, Northport. Henry Hills and
j. H. Pendleton of Northport, John A. and
W. s. Roberts Of Reading, Mass, were in
this city Tuesday on their way to Blanchard,
to hunt deer and other game, with FL W.
| Brown as guide.
