The pinning down OF the hunters

movement to conserve deer.
with the Law a. II u now and
with other conditions remaining the
Same. there u every indication that
the deer should increase rapidly"
says David r. Jones. special assistant
to Game Warden william r. Oates.
: THE last three or four years In
this state have done wonders for the
deer IN the way Of conservation" con-
tinued Mr.. Jones. while man-made
laws have helped to keep down the
slaughter. along with constant watch
ing upon the part of the game war
dens. nature has helped wonderfully.
We have not had . general forest fire.
All our fires have been local onea
and the deer have been enabled TO
get away from them and into places
of refuge. Then. too, the cut-over
lands, the best known habitat for
deer, are growing up 90 that now they
form an excellent cover. Heavy
storms in the winter do not make
the inroads upon the deer that they
did three years ago. and danger from
storms win gradually lessen as the
timber on the cut-over lands becomes
heavier still.
In q few years we should have
plenty OF deer in Michigan"
The one-deer law. It is expected.
while 1t will cut down the number Of
deer killed to great extent, will also
curtail some of the state revenue.
This is especially expected to occur
in the deer hunting by nonresidents.
Under the old law, when two deer
were allowed each hunter. the non-
resident was permitted to take but
one deer out, but he could kill two.
When a. man comes from another
state, pays his expenses. plus the $25
license fee and only gets one deer.
he will learn that venison eating will
not cut down the high cost of living
and that this haunch will have cost
about SO or "a a pound.
The stopping Of the extra deer killed
in camp will also make violations
of the law more frequent but the
game warden's department expects
that and has devised plan to check
up the deer hunters in camp. along
with their tags and shipments so that
It will be almost impossible to beat
the. one-deer law and get away with It.
