FOREIGN HUNTERS SHUT OUT.
COahOma County, Miss. VIII Keep It's
Bears and Deer for Itself.

New ORLEANS. Nov. The fame of
the iazoo Delta as a hunting country for
big game, especially bears and deer, has
resulted in OVERRIDING the business.
The canebrakes of the Sunflower and
other tributaries of the Yazoo still boast the
finest preserves for both bear and deer
east of the Mississippi il not in the entire
country. As the abundance of game be-
came known throughout the country,
many patrons OF sport in the North visited
this region in the fall. and enjoyed a few
weeks Of camping out and hunting. The
result has been what might have been
expected-an indiscriminatc slaughter of
game and a marked diminution in its
abundance.
As result the several counties have
taken steps to stop this Increase of hunters
Coahoma, for instance, which still boasts
of the best hunting grounds in Mississippi
where President Roosevelt has been In
vited to hunt in the latter par, of Novem-
ber, has passed stringent laws against
non-resident hunters. Such game AZ is
left will be reserved for the residents
case Of President Roosevelt and his friends
The law passed by the County Super
visors Of Coahoma prohibits any hunting
in the county by non-residents even those
living in adjoining counties. The pro-
lection thrown around game has been ex-
tended over much longer season; and as
an additional protection against foreign
hunters, all shipments Of game out of the
county are prohibited.
While Coahoma has gone further than
the other counties in this matter the
general tendency in all is the sameto
and to keep 1t a. long as possible for the
residents
