is taking a real beating this season
and unless some drastic steps are
taken by both State officials and
sportsmen as well to improve the
population, the outlook
for future years is far from good.
AS an indication, license sales in
Maryland have already jumped more
than 90 per cent over last year and
are continuing to soar to points
where the Department of Inland
Game and Fish has been unable to
keep its agents supplied. This prob
ably will mean reduced bag limits
for another year. Sportsmen can
help UNNECESSARILY by refraining
from shooting immature game and
stopping short of their full limit
when the opportunity presents it
self.
The deer kill in Maryland so far
this week gives indications of ex-
ceeding that of last year, although
it probably will not be as large as
was originally anticipated.
Many Deer Hunters Active.
The season, that opened last Mon
day and closes at S tomorrow eve
ming has witnessed the largest army
of deer hunters in the history of
the State, yet SO far there has not
been single fatal accident. The
days opening kill in Garrett and
Allegheny Counties did not come up
to expectations and in Worcester
County, where it is estimated some
800 to TOO hunters went afield on
the opening day. 10 deer was the
official kill.
One serious worry which is con-
fronting officials in all nearby States
lis the greatly increased number of
complaints arising from hunters not
only trespassing on posted private
property, but also hunting SO close
to the farmers homes that the rat
tie of shot on the houses Is causing
alarm.
Most landowners are willing, if
|grudingly so in some cases, to per-
init hunting on their property when
they are asked for permission, espe-
cially If they have not posted their
property. 1t has been our personal
experience that even on posted prop
erty, privileges are sometimes
granted to the fellow with his hat In
