and this opinion is partly borne out by
the reports Of the number Of deer
transported during the past season by
the railroads. this number being only
approximately eight per cent less than
last year, while the number of nom
resident hunting license issued was
thirty per cent less than last year.
Last winter was 4 very unfavorable
one for deer, as the deep SHOWS re-
naming later than usual in the spring
confined them to their yards for an
unusually long time and in many in
stances shortage of browse in these
yards caused starvation of all but the
larger and stronger ones. and after
spring opened many deer thus weak
ened became an easy prey to the
proving loupcervier and bob cat.
Therefore it is not wholly matter of
regret that unseasonable weather and
other causes evidently kept many
visiting hunters from the woods this
season. thereby saving. no doubt many
deer for next years supply.
Bird Licenses
4 decrease of forty per cent in the
number Of bird licenses sold this year
| is accounted for by the fact that the
last Legislature extended the closed
season on partridge and Woodcock, in
the eight northern counties. from Sep
tember 18th to October LIST, with the
result that those sportsmen who have
been coming TO Maine for the Septem~
Der fishing and have remained for the
carly bird shooting were not able to
avail themselves of this shooting. as
formerly, and consequently none ct
them, except those who wished for the
duck and shore bird shooting, took out
these licenses.
However. October first is quite early
enough for partridgH and woodcock
Shootinf, to begin in this state

Moose and Deer

\ considerable majority Of the

are holding their own as to number
While reports from hunters and ward

recently, moose were reported placti-

Fewer complaints or reports Of H.
legal killing of moose have been made

indicate that the people are beginning
to appreciate the value OF these ami
