as did Frederick Simpson. They report
that the deer are fairly plentiful but
that hunting will be better with the COM
ing of snow and the freezing of the

A feature of the present game sea-
son is the unusual number of bears
received at Bangor, which amount to
more than 20 for the past week.
Three came down on Thursday and IS
deer were added to the seasons total
making the total to date 343 deer and
40 bears. Warm weather and an
absence of snow is making both the
getting and the shipping of deer a
very dangerous proceeding. 1t is ex-
pected that with the advent of cold
weather and snow the receipts will go
far ahead of any. years for the past
five or six.
