For the Protection of Deer.

M. j. Hapgood of Peru. who was
a member of the original club which
first introduced deer into Vermont.
calls attention to the provision OF
the law which allows land awners or
occupants to post their land against
any or all kinds of hunting. in case
the land is cultivated or enclosed.
Does may be shot this year, and it
is not unreasonable to suppose that
this dropping of the bars has had
much to do with the rush for hunt
ers' licenses. Nineteen thousand
have already been issued. Applica-
ITEMS are still coming in for permits
sion to carry "A gun during the deer
hunting season, and the result of the
bombardment of half tanned does is
likely to he appalling, though highly
satisfactory to the advocates OF an
immediate reduction in the number
of deer in Vermont.
Land owners who have any desire
to protect the does in any measure
can easily do so by putting up two
signs of the legal size on their prem
ises. With these notices in view no
man with a gun has any right on the
land without the owners consent.
There is heavy penalty for tearing
down or defacing these signs.
