Although three counties in Yer.
mont do not report any demands for
damages from the state because of
the depredations done by deer, it
should not be taken for a certainty
that deer have done no damage what
ever in those three counties. Those
conditions are partially accounted
for by the fact that the counties,
Grand Isle, Essex, and Orleans, have
fewer deer than the remainder of the
state, the first-named because of its
small size and its situation in Lake
Champlain, and the other two be-
cause of the extensive numbering
operations, which have driven the
denizens of the forests to regions
less disturbed by man. Essex coun-
ty, in particular, has a small number
OF deer in contrast to what might be
expected because of the sparseness
of the population; but the region is
being cut over by gangs of woodsmen
so that the deer have been driven to
other refuge-Barre Times.
The Times is right in saying that
there are fewer deer in Essex and
Orleans counties than in other parts
of Vermont but we suspect that it
has only partially fixed the reason.
During the many years that Vermont
had laws absolutely forbidding the
killing of deer this law was quite
obeyed except in Essex
and parts of Orleans counties. 1t
was a notorious fact and generally
known that little attention was paid
to the law in the forests Of the north
east part of the state, especially
among these lumber camps that the
Times instances: The presence Of
the lumber camps did not scare out
the deer but the employees of these
lumber camps and others who had no
respect for law killed them out. Ask
John Titcomb who lives in that part
Of the state and was fish and game
commissioner at the time.
