Olson said:
Deer Season.
The first matter To be considered was
the deer season and also other matters
pertaining to our deer in this section of
the state. The committee IS absolutely
opposed to the one buck law as it now
exists in ItaSca county. It being
pointed out at the present time numer-
Gus hunters from Itasca county come
into other counties TO hunt where the
one buck law IS not IN effect. This. in
the opinion Of the members present, was
concrete illustration that the one buck
law was not popular in this county.
Mr.. johnson supported this move and
said that the Jackson club. of which he
Is a member, had discussed this matter
there also and they were absolutely op-
posed 70 the one buck law. He said that
IN his community there was some feel
ing that perhaps the shooting Of fawns
might be prohibited, but after some dis
