MORE DEER NOW
in WISCONSIN
Than Within the Past Twenty
Five Years, Thinks Game
Warden Nelson.
HEAVY GROWTH OF YOUNG
TREES is THE CAUSE
joyful News to the Many Hunt
ers in This City and
County,.

Deputy Game Warden Charles
Nielsen, of Madison. arrived in the
city yesterday from the northern part
of Wisconsin. He says that there will
be more deer this fall in the northern
Wisconsin timber woods and cut-over
lands than for perhaps twenty-five
years.
''This does not mean that the
number Of deer in the state is
greater, for the area of the deer
country in Wisconsin has been de-
creased in proportion to the increase
and improvements of the farms of the
state but in the country where the
deer have lived in late years their
number has actually multiplied.
"This is the testimony of northern
Wisconsin residents, tourists and
others who are informed on the
subject.
"The reasons are various. One
reason of much Importance is the fact
that the timber lands, slashed over in
the great harvest of logs for lumber,
we're cleared of the shelter so necessary
for the deer. The animals were
hunted and killed with great facility
and their numbers, in the absence of
adequate protection by the state,
rapidly decreased.
"These timber lands, or 'slashings',
have now heavy growths of brush and
of young trees. This affords security
and comfort to the deer
'The necessity of underground for
the safety of deer is under
stood well by hunters and all who are
familiar with the life and habits of
Wisconsin's big game.'
