Wolves are thicker in some parts
of Ashland and Bayfield, counties than
in former years.. according to trap
pers, while deer are not so plentiful.
This is because of the deep snow of
last winter, they say, when deer could
not get away from the wolves who
waxed fat while hundreds of deer
were killed. According to trappers, if
the present winter is anything like
the last the season on the killing of
deer will have to be closed in order
to save them from being extermi-
mated.

The hunting season for deer opens
Nov. 10 and closes Nov. %, both days
included. Only one buck deer, not
less than / year old, may be killed
by any one hunter and may be trans
ported between Nov. IA and II p. m.
of Nov. 25. Deer or venison can not
be shipped but must be accompanied
by the. hunter on the same train, with |
deer tag, or seal attached, with num-
Der corresponding his license. Deer
tags or seals must be attached to the
deer as soon as it is killed by the
hunter. Some hunters ask: How do
I know that the buck is year old?"
There is no deer of l year old in the
month of November. The deer a
hunter is allowed to shoot is a spike
buck, about Is months old, SO no
hunter can make a mistake. A fawn
is only about months old and has
no visible horns. No deer, yenison
or other game, except rabbits and
black bear can be bought or sold.
No hunter who kills a buck should
fail to ill out his card he received |
with his deer tag and send the same
to the state conservation commission
at Madison. 1t is very important for
the commission and sportsman to have
these statistics. Deer are protected !
at any time in all of the southern
counties of the state and also in the
counties Of Clark, Wood, Shawano and
in Oconto county south of the north
line of township 30
