Judge J. NJ. Tyler In Rutland
county court yesterday ruled that
unless a deers forns were long
enough so the hunier could see them |
before shooting it would be Illegal to !
kill the deer in the open season. The |
expression Of opinion came at the |
close OF the eviden,e In the case of !
state against EAner f. ST. John, |
charged with shooting deer without |
horns. Judge Tyle- said: THE view |
of the court is that the evidence of |
all the witnesses including the re- |
spondent, shows that the deer had /
no such horns as gave notice to the |
hunter that he might shoot him; In |
other words, the horns must be Wis
ible not merely distoverable by touch, |
but they must be OF such length as to |
give notice TO the hunter that he may |
kill the deer in the open season"
