hunters will be issued licenses as be-
fore, but the deer killed. by them i'm
the north woods will either have To
be eaten or left in the woods for the
wolves.
In discussing the opinion, State
Game Warden Oates said that he did
not think it was the intention of the
legislature to convey the meaning that

ted to ship a deer killed by him un-
der Michigan license out of the |
state, and that it would undoubtedly |
keep many nonresident deer hunters
