in 1916 assures continuance of an
abundance of deer. The season of 1916
was not favorable to the hunters, and
only 1900 bucks were reported into the
commissioner s office.
During the fall of 1915, as many or
more cartridges were killed than ever
before III any one season, but during
the recent season the number of birds
was noticeably less. The shortage is
not attributed to excessive hunting,
but to the fact that during the breed
ing season for two months last spring
there was a continuous rainfall through,
out the state. A large number of old
birds have survived for next season Is

Woodcock continues to be on the

Hares are always abundant. The game

kinds of wild game as a private enter
