Big Demand for Hunting Licenses.
ALBANY. Nov. 4.--Unprecedented de-
mand for hunting licenses Is keeping the
Conservation Commission ''on the jump
filling requests from all over the state for
supplies OF licenses and buttons to sup
PIGMENT those already exhausted.
Never In the history of the commission,
says Llewellyn Legge, chief Of the Division
OF Fish and Game, has there been such q
rush for licenses as this fall. The unusual
demand is attributed partly to the large
number of recruits in the hunters ranks
from among men who have had their first
experience Of handling firearms in mill
tary service; partly to continuance OF
the same vacation spirit which has kept
all resort hotels and boarding houses filled
to capacity this summer, and partly to
the new law. in effect for the first time
this season, by which the doe deer may be
shot in the Adirondacks as we'll as bucks.
There 10 no question, according to the
commission, that the greater prospect of
securing a deer. now that the bars have
thousands of new hunters to the Adiron-
daeks who have never been deer hunting
before.
In spite of the fact that the Conserva-
ton Commission made definite provision
for increased hunting this fall the demand
for licenses has so far exceeded all pre-
vious records that additional cards and
buttons may yet have to be secured from
the manufacturers. Already $4,000 resi-
10 per cent more than in any previous
year. the order for the last three years
having been 100000.
As an example of the quite unprece-
dented demand for licenses, the Conserva-
tion Commission cited the fact that calls
for additional supplies were recently re-
clerks in one day Under ordinary condi-
lions these clerks would have had suf-
hcent licenses to carry them to the end Of
The commission states that under this
unusual pressure IT is doing all in It's
power to prevent Inconvenience or delay
In the Issuance of licenses. Books, but
tons and record cards are being rushed
from Albany as fast they are applied
for, and in addition supplies are being
shifted from town clerks offices where
there may be a surplus to points where a
shortage has developed.
Deer Hunting Risk Equal to Warfare.
