Of Allegan county indicate that
the purpose Of the special season

ing deer lis being accomplished
according to H. d. Ruhl, chief OF

When the third special antler-
less season closed December 10
63l hunters had taken only 10 deer
with an additional 5 antlered bucks
being illegally shot and left. These
figures suggest that the deer herd
within the special antlerless sea-
son area was greatly reduced by
last years special season when T
legal antlerless deer and - illegal
bucks were shot.
Further evidence of a decrease
in the deer herd in Allegan county
is that only a single deer was shot
under permit by a celery farmer
this year as compared to kill OF
nine for the previous year. A
