a result of the i'll luck of the numer-

deer have been bagged in the Black
Hills this season, which is far under
the usual number. In this county
alone there have been 230 licenses
issued and only a dozen of them have
resulted in killings. While it is true
that there has been no snow this

Of the animals and believe that a
closed season is necessary to replen-
ish the number in the Hills.
