Deer Season To
Open December 1

The annual deer hunting season
will open Monday, December l, and
will continue until shutdown Satur-
day evening, December g. During
this period it will be lawful to
kill bucks with two or more points
to one antler and spike bucks with
three inch antler.
The small game season, which be-
gan November Is, will be sus-
pended during the deer season, but
will be resumed Monday, Deem
Der and will continue until Janu-
airy.
Many hunters already have made
reservations in private homes,
boarding houses and other places
and it was estimated that some
$500 hunters would be in the
woods at least during the first few
days of the season.
Hunters will attempt to surpass
the all-time record of 698 kills
made during the 1857 season. In
1855 there were COS killed. The
limit is one buck per year per
hunter.
Game regulations stipulate it is
lawful to hunt deer while there is
snow on the ground but they may
be killed only with a rifle that de-
velops over 1,20O foot pounds of
muzzle energy. Shotguns loaded
with pumpkin ball or slug may also
be used. Bow hunters may also
hunt during this time, except those
who made kill during the special
bow and arrow season will not be
eligible. Nine deer we're killed dur
ing the bow season this year, the
first in history for Garrett coun-
ty.
There will be five deer checking
stations in this county where deer
must be checked as soon as pos
sible after being killed. 1t is un-
lawful to remove the head or hide
or other parts except internal or
gans. or cut up the meat until the
deer has been reported and weigh
cd at one of the checking stations.
Stations in the county will in
clude the residence of Harold Har-
mon, at Kings Run; Edwards Gar
age in Grantsville; Murphy's Serv-
ice Station at Friendsville; Matt
Storey's store at Deep Creek Lake.
The station at the sheriff's office
has been abandoned. There is no
longer a checking station at Swan
ton. Hunters in that area may take
their deer to Westernport. Deer
also may be checked at the LaVale
police barracks in Allegany county.
Additional district game war
dens from other counties of the
state will be assigned to western
Maryland during the siX-day
season.
Game Warden Leo Friend said
that contrary to some false reports
issued in Allegany county and
other parts of the state in recent
days. deer seem to be just as
plentiful as ever in Garrett county.
He anticipated a successful season.
