Lansing The deer hunting season
In Michigan opened. to continue un-
/, til December /.
All sections of the United States
viii be represented among the thou
sands of hunters who will visit the
northern woods In the state during
/ the coming few weeks In search Of
game. Last year it was estimated
that approximately $4,000 hunters
were in Michigan woods during the
three weeks of the deer season. and
oficials believe that this number will
be at least equaled and possibly ex-
ceeded this year. They base their
estimates upon the number of licenses
already issued.
Each hunter. II he Is skillful enough.
may kill two deer. under the state
law. Nonresidents have the same
privileges with regard to the deer
hunting a. do the Michigan residents,
with the exception that they are pro-
hibited from shipping more than one
animal out OF the state.
In an effort to reduce to . minimum
the number of accidents which each
year attend the hunting season In
Michigan. the state game warden's de-
partment has issued list of precau-
tons for all persons who enter the
woods for game. Prevention Of hunt
ing accidents, these oWcials maintain,
is matter Of personal responsibility.
They assert that score or more lives
are sacrificed each year merely
through the carelessness of the hunt
ers. Among the precautionary meas
ures urged to prevent accidents are
the following:
Never carry gun with muzzle
pointed toward another person The
gun should be carried over the shout
der, with the niuzzle pointed backward
and upward, whenever the hunter Is
walking with persons in front Of him.
II walking ahead Of other persons the
hunter should carry the gun under his
arm In such manner that the muzzle
will be pointed ahead and downward.
III loaded gun is being carried
In a boat its owner should be sure
that the muzzle is SO pointed that its
accidental discharge would injure no
one.
Never handle an 'unloaded' gun
carelessly. Responsibility for many
accidents rests with the 'didnt-know-
it-was-loaded' fool
Never shoot at any object until you
know what that object is. II you OBJ
serve this warning you may miss a
deer occasionally, but you may save
DoNTs FOR DEER HUNTERS.
