Meets PROSPECTS GOOD FOR DEER HUNT 4'X Prospects appear good for the annual deer hunt in the vicinity of Duchesne, which will begin October 20th, continuing for 11 days. Indications are that there will be plenty of sportsmen "out to get their bucks. Good feed in the ranges during the summer, the reports of large and plentiful herds, and storms which started In Duchesne and vicinity Thursday all lend strength to the opinion that there will be plenty of successful hunters during the 1936 season. While deer seem to be plentiful in all directions, it is mod likely that Current creek, the West fork of the Duchesne river and Rock creek will be favorites at the beginning of the season, with the upper strawberry coming in for more hunting near the latter part. Deputy Game Warden J. P. Madsen Thursday issued a warning againrt the killing of doe deer and elk. There are a lot of elk in all parts of the country this year Mr. Miadsen added, as well as an unusually large number cf doe deer. If a doe should be hit accidently, he added, it should be dreosed and hung up, and Mr. Madsen notified immediately, rather thin to leave it to spoil or for scavenger animaD to devour.
