Show i 'S S..- ' V ' - INJURED FAWN LEFT TO DIE FROM WOUND li is truly a sad experience to find the most innocent of all animals, a little fawn deer, with both front legs 'broken by the slug from the rifle of some careless, reckless hunter. Such was the experience of Ass't Forrest Supervisor C. J. Olsen, of the Fish'ake National Forest, at Richfield, Rich-field, while patrolling for game violations vio-lations in the Beaver mountains during dur-ing the deer season just passed. It is regretful to know that we have hunters of the kind that will continue to shoot at anything they see, or even hear. No wonder we have serious accideuts. It is difficult to think of anyone so cohl and hard-hearted as to Iioot a little innocent fawn as this on.- .'.s shot, and then leave it crying cry-ing pitifully in distress, to slowly but surely die. Yet it was done in this case, and in a number at other siiiiihir eases. K v e r y red-blooded American sportsman should lend his wholehearted whole-hearted cooperation and assistance to avoid this kind of work. 'o need more educational propaganda widely spread, and the ' assistance of every hunter during the open season. Fish and C:is-ie clubs should make this an issue in order to avo'd, if humanly poe-iblc, accidents invol'-d'-g human life, end to protect the game resources re-sources of our stale and nation. |
