Ga DEER KILLS
REPORTED THUS
FAR FOR SEASON
Two Game Wardens Report On
Number Notifying Up To This
Morning; Record Kill Not
In Danger

With Garrett county's annual deer
season more than half over, only
sixty-four kills had been reported to
two game wardens in this area up to
this morning, and indications were
that last years record of 301 would
not be in danger in the least.
A number of conditions were de-
clared to be at work in favor of the
deer, instead of the hunters, restric-
tons about gasoline, lack of sufficient
shells, elimination of a number of
rifles from the list of what can be
used to shoot a deer, lack of snow,
and the rainy weather.
In spite of these conditions, how
ever, large number of hunters have
been in the woods the past three and
one-half days and many will remain in
the woods until shutdown Saturday,
when the season will end. Twenty
eight deer hunters were registered at
one boarding house in Oakland alone.
Even the women were out, Miss Elva
Slabaugh, Deer Park, reporting O.
point, killed at Swallow Falls. Nay
Harvey, of Deer Park, apparently
had one of the largest, a 14-point
weighing 240 pounds. Some had more
points but were not as large.
Lloyd Cook, deputy game warden,
l., i
been evidence of four illegal kills. He
advised all hunters to observe the
sunrise and sunset hours and the
other regulations, and pointed out
that violations of the state deer law
are punishable by fine of from $50
to 500 or Jail sentence up to ninety
days.
The list of kills furnished by Mr.
Cook and Elmer Haulenbeek, were as
follows:
Robert Gimmell, Oakland, Opt,
Shaggy Mt, 225 lbs; Richard Cod
dington, Friendsville, SPIT, Bear
Greek, 1870; Blaine Opel, Accident, 3
