almost double increase in consump-
ton of the two beverages

The SpOrtsmen's Corner
By
THE OLD WARDEN

The following article. headed In
trepid Hunters" appeared in the
Alaska Weekly of Seattle under
date of September 6:
Last week We RECALLED you with
our opinion of game slaughter in
Alaska. This week we will not say
much more. we will just quote
from a juneau newspaper;
The hunting party of five
men who left for Gambler Bay
Monday returned this morning
at 4 O'Clock with ten deer.
Ten, count EN-. deer for five
hardy nimrods.
And now to top 1t all off
as We are writing this We re-
ceive word that the Sportsmen
of Anchorage have complained
to officials that the thirty-day
open season on game fowl is too
short and that the ten-day
limit on ducks too few. Dis
gusted, We can only ask, II
man did shoot ten ducks a day
what in the devil would he do
with them?'"
l am very much disappointed to
read such an article in any Alaska
newspaper as it showed a marked
lack of understanding regarding
hunting conditions as they exist in
the Territory today.
In the first place let me inform
this literary hunter that the deer
season in Alaska is from August 20
until November Is and the limit Is
THREE deer per hunter per year,
This season Is set by the Alaska
game commission and only after a
careful survey of the situation. No
doubt the reason for the article ap-
pearing in the paper was because of
the unusual luck of the hunters.
Deer are plentiful in Alaska but 1t
requires time and considerable ex-
pense to hunt them. The majority
of hunters prefer to make several
short trips, II possible, rather than
bunch their kill into one trip.
Regarding the remarks about the
duck season l want to say that
having lived in Washington for
many years and having seen ducks
slaughtered by the thousands on
the private clubs. II would require
lot OF gall 10 criticize Alaskans
on that score.
The Alaska game commission in.
forms us that the annual kill in
all Alaska amounts to less than
$4,000 ducks. Last year the clubs
alone in Washington report kill
of $4,000. When l was outside last
year l was talking to member of
one of these mechanical slaughter
houses and he informed me that
the members OF his club had a fair
season having killed 1900 birds,
1900, count 'em, dear Seattle
