The hunting season is now on full
swing and dozens of parties are leav-
ing daily for the tall and uncut. Oft
times when hunting deer the oppor-
tunity arises to take a shot at some
other denizen of the woods. The
game laws for this district are print
I'd herewith and should be carefully
read by every hunter and then fol-
lowed. The game laws are made with
the single aim of allowing the maxi
mum amount of game consistent with
its preservation. The laws have been
brought down to the point where the
increase and the number killed ap-
proach balance. 1t is to every hunt
er's interest to observe every game
law, not merely because it is a law
but because it is to his own personal
interest to do SO. A good sportsman
never breaks a game law.
