Outsiders Invited
To Hunt Colorado Deer

DENVER, Sept. 9.-Here's good
news for hunters! Colorado has an
abundance of deer and elk and the
State is inviting the world at large
to come out and enjoy some of the
finest big-game hunting to be found
anywhere.
According to the Colorado Game
and Fish Commission, there are
100000 big mule deer roaming the
range and the number is increasing
to the extent that the available
range will soon not provide ade-
quate feed for thousands of these
animals. Hence the urgent invita-
ton to sportsmen to come out and
help reduce the supply.
The season in Colorado open for
10 days on October II, this time of
year being particularly delightful in
that Western region. Nonresident
license fee is $25, with no fee for
transporting the meat out of the
State.
