The dear season has opened In the
Adirondacks and the guides are shun-
ming their jobs They do not like the
too true criticism that this is the open
season for guides. One Of them says:
Il would rather take chances with the
game protector and hunt out OF season
than take chances Of getting shot while
hunting in season" Yet there is a
curious sort Of compensation in the fact
that farther south in the Beaver River
district, which is most frequented by
visitors. the record OF accidents IS very
low. The explanation probably lies in
the fact that every one who goes there
knows the woods are full Of hunters and
that only great caution can secure him
against killing one OF them. The con-
[ verse Of this is found IN the experience
OF some remote regions. where many dis
asters have occurred because hunters
/ have assumed that they had gone be-
beyond every one else, so that no caution
/ was needed.
