DEER SLAUGHTER NOW ON IN VERMONT
A Large Number Killed" Something Doing"
in Every Town in Lamoille County

III Every TOWn In Lam0ille County
The deer slaughter is now on in full
oiast and the killing now promises to be
even greater than previously predicted.
Two hundred deer were killed in
Washington county alone Monday and
the reports from the other counties show
large number of successful hunters on
the first day. 1t now looks as though
the doe slain will greatly outnumber the
bucks and there is talk in many quarters
that there is danger of eXterminaling the
species. This, however, is denied by
Fish and Game Commissioner Thomas.
who estimates that there are 10000
fawns which will amply stock the woods
tor another season.
Last year there was reported killing
of deer to the number of 2,2O0, but it is
probable that at least twice that number
were killed, for hundreds met their death
by Illegal means, in the closed season and
by dogs.
