Law SAWS Three Deer.

1t is yet some time before the deer
hunting season openslbut not ooearly
for the sportsmen to get out their
shooting paraphernalia and TO study
up every section OF the game laws.
There are some new provisions in
regard to the slaughter OF deer, which
will detract from the pleasure Of hunt
ing. The new law provides that only
three deer can be killed by one per-
son. and what makes IL all the more
peculiar is the fact that deer or veni
son cannot be sold or killed for gain.
The law is very explicit on that point.
II reads;
':No person shall by himself his
clerk servant or agent, expose or keep
for sale directly or indirectly, upon
any pretense or any advise, sell or
barter, or in consideration OF the pur-
chase af any other property, give TO
any other person any Of the protected
animals or act withinl the state OF
Michigan"
That makes IL unlawful for a mer-
chant TO buy yenison Of hunter and
TO place IL on the market. Nohunter
can ship the venison out of the state,
and there are regulations for hunting
which are equally important. IL is
unlawful TO kill any deer: when IL is
in the red coat or any fawn in the
spotted coat. No person shah use any
artificial light or wear any light on
the headgear TO attract the deer, or
make any use OF dog while hunting.
