Hunters are interested in the state
ment that the wooded hills, noun
tain lakes and streams of this state
are to be one big park in which deer
may roam and multiply unmolested
by hunters during the next five years,
if a bill introduced into the state leg
islature by Representative R. w.
Hilton, of Mexican county, becomes
law
Representative Hilton declares
that if his bill or a similar one is not
speedily passed the graceful animal
which he seeks to protect will pass
out of the state as completely as the
herds of buffalo which once roamed
the western prairies. A deep seated
sentimental interest attaches to the
| Mexican members measure and he
: claims that he has assurance of sup
port for it from representatives and
senators from all the interior coun-
| ties.
The hunting of deer is at present
restricted to the last two weeks in
November. Short as the season is,
| the deer have steadily dwindled in
numbers until even veteran hunters,
who have not missed a year in track
ing them to their forest retreats, are
| foremost in demanding that they
shall be protected for a sufficient
time to permit of the increasing in
numbers.
The bill provides that from and
after the first day of June, 1911, il
shall be unlawful to take, or kill, OF
wound, or attempt to take or kill OF
wound, any deer in this common
wealth. A fine of 5000 for every
deer killed, or Imprisonment for zoe
days or both.
DR.. Kalbfus, secretary of the State
Game Commission, declared in his
last report that more than 400 deer
of an average of $50 pounds, max,
ing a total of 80 tons of venison
have been killed in the season of IL
days in the fall of 1909. He esti
mated that an equal number of bears
of an average weight of 200 pounds
had been shot or taken in traps dur.
ing the same season.
The forest preserves of the state
consisting of many thousands o.
acres in the aggregate, have for sew
eral years past afforded places o.
refuge not only for deer and bear bu
for other game.
