CHICAGO-UP- Veteran hunt
ers with quick trigger-fngers ana
amateurs with too many thumbs
all short on red ration points, can
start shooting, according to the
Council OF State Governments.
Greatly increased wild game,
consequent increased crop damage
and the shortage of meat from nor
NAL channels has brought nation
wide liberalization Of hunting laws,
the council said.
Deer. elk. bear. rabbits. fowl
and other game provide the nation
with 250.000.00O pounds OF meat a
year. the council said. II summed
up " hunting situation like this:
Complaints that game has dam
aged crops have increased. The
complaints are directed especially
NJ deer and elk I'm western states,
deer In Great Lakes states and
pheasants In Great Lake and north
ern Great Plains states. Wiscon-
sin has paid farmers $4,000 10
$4,000 annually since 1889 for
damage by deer and bears.
The hunting season has been
heightened in many areas. twenty
five New York counties announced
open season on deer, allowing
hunters 20 shoot deer OF both sexes
fr the first time In '25 years. Only
exception was limited season in
one county in 1871.
The Colorado game and FISH de-
partment extended the antlered
(male) deer and elk season 10
four weeks and doubled the pleas
ant and quail season TO two weeks
and four days. Wisconsin fixed a
four-day open season in several CEN
trail and southern counties where
crop damage by deer was extern
sive.
A scarcity OF ammunition will
hamper new hunters, but most vet
Grams bought IT by the case and
have stocks on hand.
The "bag limit" on small game
has been increased. particularly in
the West and in the Great Lakes
region.
South Dakota announced that 1t
wants a minimum OF 100000
pheasants shot this year. Wiscon'
sin announced a two-day open
pheasant cock and hen season in
