Deer Hunters to Feel
Dearth of Ammunition

southern Michigan. In large but
populated Luce County, SO
per cent of the hunters last year
were from the southern peninsula.
There are many and varied
methods OF coping with the trans
portation problem, among them
the railroad-automobile combina-
ton already put into effect in the
Ottawa National Forest of the
u. p. where the deer arc said to
be thicker than fleas on Rover's
rump.

SoIDes Problem

The management of one deer
hunters haven, the widely known
Ottawa Lodge. near Kenton
Houghton County. an.
nounced this week that it has
instituted a pickup service de-
signed TO lift many worries OF
eager nimrods who can board
trains but wonder where the trail
leads when they alight at some
remote depot in the wilds.
Hunters from Detroit, other
lower Michigan ports and the Ohio
sector who plan TO stalk the fleet
footed beasts in the Ottawa forest
area may ride the rails as far as
Kenton or Sidnaw, where they will
be met by special pickup cars as
signed by the lodge. The pickup
service is free to guest hunters.
Fill Your Tank
The shadow Of gasoline ration
ing. however. does not fall in
until November %. which
gives hunters a break they can
we'll afford TO capitalize on. All
you have TO do. if you are in the
Upper Peninsula as of November
p, full bag or not, is remember
to have along two or three extra
gasoline cans which can be filled
prior TO November %, along with
your car gas tank. Many lodges
in the Upper Peninsula deer area
are following the example of the
Ottawa Lodge. which reports it
is prepared to fuel up for hunters
who travel the rubber road, and
gas pumps are still handy along
the route. So don't stay away be-
cause Of the gas dole. You need
that extra meat.

When Michigan's 100000 deer
hunters take TO the woods Sunday,
November Is. for its 15-day war;
time deer season, they will be con-
tributing directly 10 the war effort.
With shipments of meat TO many
sections of the country already
being curtailed and some form OF
now under way. the total
take of deer this fall can be looked
upon as releasing a corresponding
amount OF fresh meat to fill the
needs OF the service. as well as
commitments under the lend-lease
program.
But whether deer hunters this
season will be able TO make any
STABLE showing as TO the number
of deer that will be bagged as
compared with last year, depends
on two unfortunate situations
which are causing them no end Of
worry

"Not all were engaged In war
industries" Ruhl said.
Asked what he thought OF the
closing OF the deer season this
year. Lloyd Eagan. president OF
the Detroit Sportsmen's Congress,
an organization of 5000 members.
said he thought the deer season
should 90 on.

Only Authority

The conservation commission Is
the only state agency with author
ity 10 close the season when the
legislature is not in session. Off
Gals also pointed out the commits
sion did not have the authority 10
close the season unless depletion
or determination OF the deer herd
was threatened.
Harry Ruhl. chief of the game
division, said conservation director
p. J. Hoffmaster conferred with
the manpower commission in De
troit Friday and would report TO
the conservation commission at its
regular monthly meeting Monday.
War production officials feared
that because gasoline rationing
becomes effective in the middle of
the season many man hours would
be lost between November IS and
November %. pointing out that
last year $4,000 hunters spent
10000 man-days hunting deer.
