EsrIMATEs KILLING An s.0OO.
Warden Chase of Bennington County
Collects Figures.

bennington, Nov. r. County Game
Warden Harry Chase has completed his
record Of the number Of deer killed in
Bennington during the open season in
October and with the figures at hand
he is Of the opinion that the total for
the state will not exceed 5000 and may
be even less Warden Chases record
shows that 26l were killed in Benning-
ton county, ia bucks and la7 does. IN
the season Of 1908 there were l41 bucks
killed in the county From this il will
be seen that considerably less than
twice as many deer were killed, with
the restriction removed from does, as
in 1908.
II has been predicted that double the
number Of deer would be killed with an
open season for does. but the warden
is Of the opinion that this prediction
win not be fulhlled in any county in the
state any more than was the case in
Bennington county. In Windsor county
last year the number was 1884, in Wash
ington 349, In Rutland, 269; in Wind
ham, l0l. To double the number of
deer killings in these four counties
would make Windsor, 78s; Washington,
Nuof ANUhihDNt Dp"f WI e'%* AHN
total for these four counties would be
1886, or more than were killed in the
entire state during 1905
Warden Chase is Of the opinion that
when the reports have been carefully
sifted through the Office Of the state
FISH and game commissioner, thus re-
emoving the double entries Of deer re-
ported both from the towns Id which
the animals were shot and the town in
which the hunter lived, that it will be
found that less than twice as many deer
were killed as in the season OF 1908. The
total for the state in 1908 was 2,205.
Twice this figure would be only 4,4l0.
In this county 81 were killed in Ar
lington, 80 in Bennington. "a in Dorset,
2l in Manchester 81 in Sunderland, 20
in Winhall Is in Salisbury, II in
Sandgate, l2 in Stamford, II in Peru,
II in Pownal, in Readsboro, in Ru-
pert, in Woodford. | in Iandgrove.
The two most consistently successful
hunters in Bennington county, according
TO the records kept by Warden Chase,
are Daniel Dunn Of East Dorset and v.
S. ThAyer Of Readsbofo, each having
shot buck every year since the open
season was established in the state.
