the change, as many of. them do not
care to kill the doe, but the greater
opposition will come from people who
do not hunt at all but who desire to see
the deer preserved for sentimental
reasons and who fear that the removal
of restrictions will result in EXTERN
nation
Hunters in and around Bennington,
the men who tramp the woods for
sport and not for profit, will, it is be-
Iced, be almost unanimous in their
opposition to the bear bounty. They
were instrumental in having the
bounty act repealed number of years
ago and since that time the bear have
increased TO such an extent that that
bar hunting" is becoming an estab-
lished feature of the outdoor pro-
gram. Several have been shot in the
county during the past few months
and the lucky hunters declare that
the sport is far superior to deer
hunting. Mounted deer heads are
now fairly common throughout the
state but the hunter who can claim
that he shot his own bearskin rug Is
roticeably "chesty" when telling how
he did it. He is in limited class and
knows it. Bears have been known to
resent being shot. Sometimes, too,
they don't run away after being
slightly wounded. The bear killer has
the privilege Of throwing his magma
ton on to the loose pulley and weaving
a tale that can't be refuted. II al
deer hunter were to describe how he
was chased out Of a swamp by a
fierce buck and how his life was
spared because the last shot in the
rifles magazine reached q vital spot
he would be given the merry "ha, ha."
But the bear hunter is protected by the
ancient history of his game and can
to his hearts content. IF
they put q bounty on bear and the
trappers trap all the bear there won't
be any bear Stories" says the bear
hunter. This bare assertion is suffic-
lent and the Legislature should bear It
in mind when acting on the bear bill.

FISH AND GAME BILLS


Three measures proposing changes
in the fish and game laws have beer
introduced in the legislature that
will not be generally favored by the
sportsmen Of Bennington County
These are the bills TO make the legal
length of brook trout five instead OF
six inches, to legalize shooting Of does
as well as bucks during the open deer
season and To grant a bounty Of Sl2 on
black bears.
Even in Bennington county, the
section which probably affords the best
brook trout fishing in the entire state,
there will be wide difference of opin-
ion on the advisability Of reducing the
length from six TO five inches. The
proposed change in the law limits q
days catch to five pounds and not
more than thirty-fve individual fish.
There are brooks in all sections Of the
state from which il is possible to Sc
cure q good catch Of fve-inch fish but
in which there are few trout Of the
present legal length. Many fishermen
argue that small trout once hooked
Ia in nearly all cases fatally injured
and that II Is better 10 convert these
6ngerlings into food tina? to return
them TO the water 70 die.
These are the main arguments in
favor Of changing the law. The claim
that trout caught with hook and line
arc doomed is not, however, an abso-
iutcly correct one. Years ago before
there was any six-inch law persons
owning private ponds stocked them
with wild trout caught in the streams
and the fish lived and thrived. Trout
have been reared in watering troughs
and springs for years and these fish
found their way out Of their native
elements by the hook and line route.
Over against all argument for q re-
duction in the legal length is the
assertion Of fish culturists that five
inch trout has not had an opportunity
to reproduce itself. In the opinion OF
many fishermen this argument should
be sufficient. II the fish and game de-
partment Is to continue spending the
money raised from the sportsmen
through the license fees in the stock
ing Of the streams the stock fish
should have an opportunity to perpet-
uate themselves before they are
caught Otherwise the trout might
Just as well be caught out of the
ponds at the hatcheries.
A ten day open season for bucks and
doe, as Is proposed in the measure in
troduccd by Representative Sleeper OF
Barnard, win probably arouse more
discussion than any other bill that
comes to the hands Of the fish and
game committee. IL viii be contended
that there are too many deer In the
state and that the animals cause more
damage to crops than they are worth,
that an open season for both sexes
viii tend to keep the deer within en-
durable limits and afford better hunt
ing. Some Of the hunters viii oppose
