Legislation. Changes in the laws
every two years is bad policy. People
have become familiar with the present
chapter. II takes about two years for
the public to become accustomed to
changes. This is especially true as
to changes in open and close seasons.
The present laws are more liberal than
in most states. They permit the kill.
ing of as much fish and game as pres
ent conditions warrant, having due re
gard to future supply. These valu
able wild life resources should be
looked after in the same manner that
the thrifty farmer looks after his live
stock.
To the real conservationist or sports
man, what have said may seem un.
called for. but bear in mind that, like
other laws, majority arc euseted as
a protection against the thoughtess
and greedy. They are not laws in the
ordinary acceptation of the term.
They are rules and regulations for the
benefit of the people and the conserya
ton of the fish and game.

FISHERMEN AND HUNTERS

born buck fawns develop horns from
one to two and one-half inches in
length. In very rare instances does
have horns; perhaps one doe in TO-
900. The close season on deer has
been gradually changed from six days
in October to twenty days in Novem-
Der and December. The increase in
length OF open season followed the in
crease in the number Of animals. The
extreme lateness of the season was
adopted because majority of the Leg
islature wanted to put off the shooting
until the live stock has been quite
generally removed from the back pas
tures-a just reflection upon the care
lessness of few hunters; also be
cause the late hunting season elimi
mates the danger of forest fires. 9th
er arguments were advanced, among
them the one that wounded deer can
be tracked and not left to die and &C
to waste and that venison late in the
year will keep better. Another impor
tant argument for late season is the
| fact that the "rutting" season is prac
tically over and the does will have
been bred before the bucks are killed
| The main argument for a buck law is
the safeguarding of human life. Sta
tistics of the U. S. Biological Survey
show that in five states having ne
buck law there were GO serious hunt
| ing accidents from 1908 to 1912 inclu
sive while in six states having buck
law there was total of only clever
serious accidents during the same
period.
The legalizing of the killing of does
was expedient. Agriculture is of frs
Importance in Vermont and the efforts
of horticulturists to establish large or
chards must not be discouraged
