HUNTING AT
GAME REFUGE,
Continued from Page One

cember "a, 1854. The drawing for
successful applicants will be held
at Bombay Hook Refuge Head
quarters, Smyrna, Delaware,
Tuesday, December %, 1854. Mr..
Jake Rebman, President of the
Delaware State Federation of
Sportsman will officiate at the
drawing.
How To Apply for Permit
Sportsman desiring to hunt on
the refuge open area should sub
NIT their application on a two
cent postal card, noting their
name, address and their first and
second preference of hunting per-
iod. The one-hundred persons
chosen in the drawing will be so
notified by mail with their per-
nit, a copy of pertinent federal
regulations and a map of the open
hunting area enclosed. 1t was
explained by DR.. David M. Hickok,
Refuge Manager that the Fish
and Wildlife Service only opens
portion of the refuge area at the
request of the Delaware Fish and
Game Commission in order to ex-
pedite their efforts to control the
population trend of the Delaware
deer herd, and then only if in the
opinion of refuge personnel that
the harvest is biologically justi-
fed. The refuge area contains
what is believed to be the largest
segment of the state deer herd.
This herd increases in numbers as
deer are driven into the refuge
during the small game season and
reaches a peak in numbers late
in December and January The
refuge as usual will be open for
bird watchers during the deer
season, but birding" will be re-
stricted to the Whitehall Neck
Area of the refuge and to The
dikes around Raymonds and
Shearness Pools. 1t is emphasized
that the hunting program has
been SO planned as to totally min
imise any disturbance to migra-
tory waterfowl, concluded David
M. Hickok, Refuge Manager.
