vERMONT's AMENDED DEER LAW.
(From the Barre Times)

AS there seems to ne some msunder-
standing regarding the open season for
deer hunting It may be well to state that
by recent amendment. the law fixes the
open season from November l5 to q, both
dates being inclusive and with Sundays
excepted. Only persons holding licenses
shall be permitted to hunt and the hours
re limited to the period Of five O'Clock
In the morning to five o'clock In the
afternoon, while tho former restrictions
as to the use OF salt-ick, jack. artificial
light, etc, still hold although manifest
ly the prohibition in respect to the latter
is rendered almost obsolete because OF the
hours in which hunting may be done.
Moreover. deer must have horns of three
or more inches in length. and only one
deer Is allowed TO a person. These, then,
are the important features Of the game
laws of Vermont relative TO deer hunt
ing; but II would be better for prospec-
tive hunters to study the laws In their
entirety before going out for game next
month.
