HUNTING SEASON
 OFF TO SLOW START

A number of valley hunters have reported success during the first two days of the hunting season. One of the first local hunters to report in with 3 moose was Allan Wilson who took his tasty animal in the Sut- ton area. Bythel Compton got his moose on Wednesday in the King River country. Also among successful hunters was Margaret Steele, Palmer school teacher Gust Scheibl and his son were among the very lucky ones. They each got a nice bull moose prac- tically in their yard at Lazy Mountain.
 To date only four moose and part of one caribou have been taken to the Piggly-Wiggly locker for processing. Two addi- aional moose are being handled by Bob Webb at his place ot business. However, it is believed that many of the kills being re- ported to the Fish and Wildllfe checking station are being taken by persons outside the valley area.
 The FWS station is set ur near the old Road Commission camp on the Palmer Highway and will be maintained at least until after the Labor Day week end, according to Bob Rausch FWS wildlife management bio gogist who is in charge of the station. The station will be main aained as long as the flow of hunters continues through this section, he said.
 This mornings count showed ahat 26 moose, so caribou, two sheep, and two black bears have been reported at the checking station A facetious notation on the check board shows six hunt RrS, ~half shot. They appeared r4o have been disappointed with aaheir hunting trips.
 Rausch said that hunters are a1rged to stop at the check sta 1iDn and report their take. Jaw bones and organs taken from moose, sheep, and caribou will ase studied by the biologists to determine age and other pertin- Rnt information regarding the condition of the herds.
 M A similar check station is be- ing maintained on the Denali Highway where an additional 50 Saribou and 6 moose have been recorded.
 fTasAssisting at the local check stasrsn are Al Weinrich, of the #WS swildlife management and Lee Miller, FWS biologist aid.
