KILLEDDOEWITH HORNS
Freak Female Deer Claimed
to Have Been Shot During
Hunting Season.

A female deer with horns about
six inches in length is said to have
been killed by down state parties
while hunting up near State Line
in Villas county during the recent
deer season. 1t is claimed that
several State Line hunters saw
the doe and assert that it resem-
bled buck from distance. How
true this report of female deer
with horns being killed this fall,
has so far not been verified.
However, it is a known fact
that in past years female deer
have been killed with a nice spread
of antlers and it is to be classed
as one more freakish prank which
nature pulls once in while on
the hunter and the conservation.
The query is: Can warden arrest
hunter who has a horned female
deer in his possession; or does the
horns give the hunter the bulge
on the warden?
