the next session of the legislature in
1898 the open season was changed u
last 10 days In October and only one
| buck was allowed TO each hunter.
These provisions continued till 1905
when the Legislature of the previous
yeare had changed them to the last
week in October containing work
! ing das, Sunday excepted, and this
0pen season OF days was in force
until 1911. In 1908, however, the
deer had become 80 numerous In the
stare that persistent demand was
made on the lawmakers to permit
the XII ling OF does as well as bucks.
The dema I'd came principally from
the farmers who G implanted that
the deer wee Jest"., ing their crops,
so the measure was approved and
allowed for two consecutive years
1903 and 10. The Legislature Of
the latter year, however, changed
the open season to allow the killing
OF bucks only from November Is TO
November rs, both days inclusiye,b but
this act did not become effective un-
Til 1911. During the session OF
1912 the open season was again
changed for bucks only from Noyem-
Der 10 to December !, both dates in
culsive.
Now, let us see what the figures
show for this period. The Odd say
ing is that figures don't lie" and
In this case they speak volumes The
early figures are undoubtedly TOO
small but subsequent to 1902 they
are eonseryatiyely accurate. In 1906
a statute was enacted requiring
each hunter who killed deer durin /
the open season 10 report the fact
10 the nearest warden and exhibit
TO the latter the head OF such deer
For the years 1898. 1899. 1900 and
1901. 555 deer were reported killed;
for 1902 and 1903. 1913: 1904 and
1905, 1922; 1906 and 1907, 2.234;
