AN ARGUMENT FOR
RETAINING BoUNT|ES
ON WILD ANIMALS

Regarding the questions before the
Legislature. as to whether the bounty
on wild predaceouS animals shall be
maintained or not, Abner McPheters
Of Old Town, in common with most
Maine guides and hunters, has very
definite views. Since an experience of
the present week, his views are even
more pronounced than they were.
Mr.. McPheters is conducting a pulp
wood operation in the vicinity of Tit
comb brook on Township 81, a few
miles out from Old Town and as the
winter has been such an open one,
with little snow. he has been permit
ted unusual facilities for observing
winter conditions among the game an
imals.
While travelling along the road
Wednesday, Feb. II, Mrs. McPheters
discovered the carcass Of a doe deer
which had been pulled down by a big
wild cat, as the evidences showed. The
unfortunate creature had been jump
ed on by the cat. which had ripped its
throat open as usual with its method
Of killing and had then torn the body
of the deer furiously until its hunger
and blood lust were satisfied. The
following day the cat, apparently ac-
companied by mate, had returned
and eaten of the carcass still further,
then endeavored to cover the body of
the deer up, by scratching refuse UP
about the hind quarters Of the carcass.
Mr. McPheters went home that
night and secured some traps. which
he has set near the remains Of the
deer, hoping that he may bag one, at
least, of the wildcats before they are
frightened away from their feast Of
venison.
These fierce creatures of the woods,
in the opinion of Mr.. McPheters, are
among the most dangerous foes to the
wild life Of the Maine forests. greater
by far than all the sportsmen of Maine
and other states together It is not
their way to follow deer, unless per-
chance, it be a wounded one, but they
will lie in wait on n runway, or creep
upon a sleeping and unsuspecting deer
with its young, helpless to escape the
terrible fangs and equally terrible
claws. It is possible for a cat to come
within very few feet of deer under
such circumstances. then with sud
den leap, land on the neck Of the vic
tim, where a few quick. savage
strokes of the razor like claws. will
open the vital arteries of the neck and
the animal falls helpless. before it can
have gone more than a few yards.
In places of close growth. where the
deer may escape by brushing Off its
clinging enemy against the overhanS-
ing trees, the hunted animal some
times escapes. In the case of the
present week, the growth was so open
as to give the deer no chance against
it's irplacable foe. Mr.. McPheters no
ted that the deer was as fat, almost
as it would have been in october.
