ASK CONTINUE CLOSE
SEASON ON COW MOOSE
IN NOVA SCOTIA

Yarmouth, n. S. Jan. 13-The
steady increase during recent years in
the number of bull moose killed in this
province would make it dangerous to
the existence of the species to remove
the present close season on COW moose
according to local sportsmen and
guides, who have prepared a petition
to the government to continue the pres
ent law.
H. A. p. Smith Of the Nova Scotia
Guides Association, said that too heavy
strain was being put on the animals
and that in his opinion shortening Of
the season on bull moose to two months
would be advisable. Since the killing
of moose in Maine was prohibited for
a term of years, more hunters have
come to Nova Scotia in the autumn.
giures for the last season are not yet
available, but the records show that
the killing of bull moose increased
from 405 in 1870? to 1851 in 1916.
