Biq Deer of Vermont.

From the BrattIeboro Phoenix.
 Naturalists cannot fail to be surprised at the weight of some of the deer caught in Vermont woods this season. These scientific gentlemen have been laboring under the impression that about 225 pounds was the maximum weight of any deer ever found in this section of the country.
 As a mater of fact, many deer have been shot in Vermont that weighed more than 225 pounds. Here in Windham coun- ty this season one specimen weighed over 300 pounds, two others at least close to that figure, and nearly all the bucks brought in were in the 200 class or over. The Vermont deer are in a class by themselves, and in size and proportions are far ahead of the deer found in Maine and the Adirondacks, and their meat is of a better quality. Old hunters account for the difference in the fact that the deer in Vermont have better feed than those in the more closely wooded sections. They are not limited to browse on hemlock twigs, but find an abundance of nutricious grasses, and, if reports from Windsor county are correct, they occa- sionally top off with apples, turnips corn and beans.
