OVER 300 DEER
ARE KILLED THUS
FAR This SEASON
Record of SIT, made in 1916,
Not Expected to be Surpassed
Many Hunters Out

Over 300 deer were reported slain
by hunters during the first three days
of the season in Garrett county, and
sportsmen were still out in large num-
bers to do their best to add to this
total. Game wardens were of the
opinion, however, that the record of
last year, SIT bucks, would still stand.
Deer were reported plentiful in
other sections. Allegany county re-
ported 104 kills the first three days,
breaking last years record; while 1876
were killed in Tucker county, w. Va,
the first day.
Women hunters and teen-agers were
again among those reporting success
this year. Edna Mosser, Oakland, got
a 6-pt buck weighing 10 pounds on
Backbone mountain. Roland Schoch,
young son of Mr. and Mrs. Roland
Schoch, Oak street, got an 8-pt buck
near the Offutt mine section. Largest
rack of horns was reported by Grant
Hardesty, Hutton, who had an 1S-pt
buck, but its weight was below that
of a number of others, weighing 165
pounds. William Rodeheaver, Friends
vile, got an 8-point at Muddy Creek
weighing POP pounds, while W. De-
Witt, Accident, got a 10 point on Bear
Greek weighing 200.
Swallow Falls, Shaggy, Piney Run,
Roman Nose, Backbone, Negro Noun
| tain, and Meadow Mountain were
listed more than any others as to To-
cation Of kills, the latter being named
| about so times, with number listing
| Turkey Neck, Green Glade, Marsh
Hill, Briary Ridge, Laurel Run, Her.
rington and Red Oak.
The Oakland checking station had
158 listed up to this morning while
Deep Creek station had 81 listed in
two days Wardens reported a total
Of 124 killed the first day of the
season, but it was impossible to make
9 complete record until after the
season is concluded at sundown on

While the majority of hunters were
obeying the game laws, wardens re-
