The Duluth News Tribune quotes
the county clerk of Douglas county
as saying that only deer with horns
may be lawfully taken in Wisconsin
this year. This is mistake. The
law permits the taking of one male
deer. In other words if hunter
takes a chance and shoots at fawn
and finds that his quarry is male
he has violated no law, but if it
turns out to be a female he has
violated the law. Of course it is
impossible to distinguish the male
from the female fawn even few
feet away, and the only safe thing
to do is to not shoot at a deer hay
ing no horns. The zone buck law
is very unpopular with local aports-
men, and nesrly every one of them
would prefer law prohibiting the
law of killing deer altogether for a
few years than the present law.
