on the apprehension of the State Con
servation Commission grows apace. AS
already pointed out, the present seas
Oh Dlds falr to over-shadow and out
rival anything before recorded, in it's
probable effect on the Wisconsin deer
I herd. But the menace to the deer is
as nothing compared to the hazard of
human life, inherent in the threaten

ern counties of the state. The num-
! Der OF deer tags issued this season
has reached the enormous total of an
proximately $4,000 as against an ay-
erage of about $4,000 in prior wears.
The impending congestion is materi-
ally augmented by the fact that the
open territory was reduced by the
closing Of Jackson, Marathon and
/ Trempealeau counties. So it must be
evident to the most casual mind that
there will be hunter in every angle
OF the woods. There will be more
hunters than deer in the timber. The
commission thel efor deems it an i'm
perative duty, officially and in their
individual capacity, to urge upon the
! sportsmen the greatest caution in the
use OF the rifle. Any reckless dis
charge OF their powerful weapons at
anything that moves" must be con-
sldered nothing short of deliberate
crime. Far from its being the slogan
OF real crack shot" we believe no
true sportsman land we have reason
10 know and respect the sportsmen of
wisconsin, will be guilty of it. We
ask the hunters cooperation, as man
to man, to spread this solemn word of
warning. AS conservation measure
1t is our policy TO urge the sparing of
| the does and fawns; at least the
fawns. But in this present appeal 70

and fawns if you mus slaughter ev
eryth1ng the law aliows-but mark
we'll this-DO NOT FAIL TO LOOK
BEFORE YOU SHOOT. Do not en-
ter the woods. with the impression
that the one buck law is dead" shoot
at anything you see that looks like
deer. Let every huntsman stay his
deadly bullet until he knows beyond a
doubt that he is shooting at a deer
and that his mark is Lot a human
heart.
