Any Deer in Forest?
"OverpopuIa+ed." Claim Fores+ers

Superior National forest should be
heaven" for hunters this fall. The
deer population has been increasing
faster than the forest can care for the
additional animals, it was explained.
while the normal increase each year
is between 10000 and $4,000, about A.
600 deer are shot by hunters and about
1000 die from starvation or are killed
by wolves and dogs.
The forestry department this year has
complete study of deer conditions,
where the most animals were shot last
year, the concentrated population areas,
and variety of other information i'm
portant to keeping a healthy deer con-
dition in the woods.
There were 10 areas within the for
est last season where hunters had I'M
usually good luck, r. u. Harmon, for

was good all along the North Shore
from point this side of Tote to the
border. A large area near the Isabella
road was a productive one and north of

In direct contradiction to the resolu-
tions passed by Arrowhead sportsmen's
clubs, all of which expressed the opin-
ion that there was no overcrowding of
deer in this area, National Forest Off
Gals this week issued statement de-
claring there are $4,000 more deer in
the Superior National forest this fall
than there were last year.
Since the heated discussion has
reached the stage where an injunction
will be served on the governor in an eff
fort to show the illegality in declaring
an open season, the Miner, without en-
tering the controversy, presents the
opinion of the forest officials in the
following press dispatch:
by estimate, there are at least $4,000
more deer in the Superior National for
est this fall than there were last year
BY the same estimate, the deer popula-
ton of the forest has been set at $4,000

admit that the count may be off a
thousand or two. one way or the other
