HUNTING
LICENSES

hundred and forty-three hunting IL
censes had been issued from the Office
OF the county clerk here since the
first OF the year and It is safe to say
that with those granted at Florence.

number is well up towards the one
thousand mark. Twenty-three hunt
ing licenses were issued from the Of
fee here on Thursday and applica-
tions were received by mail this morn
ing for nearly dozen more.
The opening OF the deer shooting
season next Tuesday has given a big
stimulus to the license business and
during the remainder OF the week the
clerks at the recorders Office will De
busy making out the coveted permits.
1: is thought that nearly hundred
hunters from Canon City will go out
after buck next week. but the great
majority OF them will come back empty
handed. II is not believed that there
ure a hundred deer within a radius
OF as many miles from Canon City and
only one out Of dozen hunters will
find it possible to bring home with
him the carcass OF one Of the much
priced animals. Last year there were
not over twelve or fifteen brought 81
TO Canon City by hunters and there Is
no reason to believe they will have
any better luck this season.
The open season for killing ducks
and other waterfowl also begins next
Tuesday and many hunters viii de-
vote their time to shooting them. In-
stead Of trying TO get deer The in
dications are that duck hunters will
have better luck than those who 20 II
