$500 DEER SHOT
Slaughter Largely In Excess OF
Last Year-Hunters Careless In
Reporting to Officers

Up to yesterday, nine days after the
opening of the season, there had been
$500 deer reported shot to Fish and
Game Commissioner J. W. Titcomb.
Last year only 1000 were shot in the
whole season. There are indications
that hunters are very careless in re-
porting to the proper officers and they
are laying themselves liable to prose-
cution thereby. The law is specific on
this matter and will be enforced. More
does than bucks have been killed and
more fatalities among hunters than in
recent years, if not in the whole open
deer season.
The following figures by counties

enough more were reported yesterday
to bring the whole total up to $500
