Contrary to the expectations Of
many, the deer this year seem as
plentiful as ever and according to
reports coming to the attention Of
Fish and Game Commissioner Linus
Leayens and the various wardcns
throughout the state, the hunters are
cncounteIing exceptionally good luck,
Indications now point to Il most sue
ccsStu open season and although no
records are expected to be broken
the results OF the weeks hunt Will
probably equal those Of former sea-
sons.
rhe weather, although no. cspec-
tally adapted to deer hunting, is quite
mild for this time of the year, and
makes it possible for the gamcsters
to prowI through the woods with little
danger Of suffering from the cold
Deaths and serious Illnesses have
often been caused by the extreme low
temperature while the open season
for deer shooting was on in past sea-
,ons, but 50 far no one has complaint
cd Of the GOODNESS o. the atmo-
sphere and no reports Of accidents or
sickness from the cold are expected
