10000 HUNTERS
IN NORTH WOODS
Game Warden Pierce Believes Num-
Der of Nimrods This Year Will
Break All Records.

LANSING. Mich. Nov. 2t-tSpe'
cial III the estimate OF Game War
den Charles Pierce is anywhere near
correct there will be over 10000 deer
licenses issued in Michigan this var.
Comparing the number OF licenses
issued so far this season with the total
OF 1909. Pierce IL OF the opinion that
his figures will not vary great deal
from the final reports that will be re-
ceived at the close OF the season. Last
year there were $3.50 licenses Issued
in the upper peninsula slon. and as
many were secured In The various
counties south OF the straits.
AT the present time II is estimated
that there are about $4,000 nimrods
in the north woods. Resident hunters
pay a fee of $50 for n permit 10 hunt
deer. while nonresident hunters are
required TO pay s25. In 1909 the deer
hunters paid In a total OF $4,000 for
licenses. Since the opening OF the
season Game Warden Pierce has is
sued l27 permits 70 hunters who want
TO ship deer out OF the state, and judg-
ing from the large number OF requests
for permits he IL OF the opinion that
more deer will be shipped from Mich
igau into other states than ever be-
fore
The purser on the boat that carried
the hunters across the straits has In
formed Mr.. Pierce that he has counted
$500 so far and many nimrods have
gone by way Of Chicago and entered
the upper peninsula across the Wis
consin border. AS usual the deputies
have discoreved a number OF viola
lions of the game laws and a number
OF prosecutions have been registered.
Robert Snowman. of Liberty county,
Pennsylvania was convicted In Hough-
ton county for hunting with a resi-
dence license.
Snowman is "a years old and on
account Of his age was released with
a small fine. G.. A. Bird, Pittsburg
hunter. was convicted and fined $50
last week for a violation committed
