W. Clinm- M-B bcrs, state fish and game com- !! mlasloner. After several week tfl spent in the open in tho south- jH crn counties of the stnte, Com- ! missioncr Chnmbcrs says that H though thcro are moro deer in HH the state than ever before fewer 8l arc being killed thnn last year. fH This, h says, is because the does and fawns nro being spnrjcd. jH A recent report of ono hunter NB living nt Enterprise in Washing- ton county to Chambers indi- 9 cntcs what tho protection of the H docs may mean to tho otato in aQ deer. The man reported seeing H one herd of fourteen deer, com- H posed of six docs nnd eight E fawns; another of nineteen, in- !! eluding twelve does nnd seven K fawns, nnd still another of clcv- en, in which there wero four ( bucks and seven docs. All but ! the herd having tho bucks were Hb snfo under the lnw from molest- ntlon by the hunter. Tho buck, D however, must have horns bo- fore they become the lcgilimntu M prey to tho high power rifle of fiB the hunter.
