Deputy Game Warden
Agrees With Hunters
on EMO Doe Season"
Says Minke's Announcement
That Hunters Wanted Open
Season On Doe Deer Was A
Complete Surprise

That the announcement of Joseph
A. Minke, regional game warden, say
ing that Garrett county hunters want
ed an open season on doe deer came
as a complete surprise to Francis
Ruge, deputy game warden in this
county, was declared by the latter
yesterday.
Mr.. Ruge said he not only was
personally opposed to an open season
on doe deer but that he had not heard
of any Garrett county hunters want
ing it either He said hunters in the
kitzmiller area were definitely OPP
posed to any such open season as
several had referred to the matter
since last weeks issue of The Repub-
lican.
Minke's announcement through an
Allegany county newspaper brought
immediate protests from hunters in
the Oakland area who charged that
the only ones who wanted an open
season on doe were "Allegany coun-
tianS who want to come to Garrett
county and shoot any kind of deer on
sight"
Ruge was appointed as deputy war
den covering Garrett county by E.
Lee LeCompte, state game warden,
when How'd Cook MAS called into tho
armed forces. The appointment is I'M
der civil service.
Feed the Birds
Mr.. Ruge yesterday made a plea
to farmers and sportsmen to feed the
quail and other birds found in their
areas. He said scratch feed and ear
corn was obtainable from him through
the State Game department, for feed
ing purposes. Birds are having diff
Guilty in getting enough to eat on ac-
count of the continued snowfall and
cold weather.
He also asked hunters to send in the
reports of game killed during 1914
which should be mailed by January
Is. These reports show the State
Game department where game is
scarce or plentiful and guides the
members in their restocking program
He said twenty-five wild turkeys were
released in this county in November
