THE 1927 DEER SEASON
CLOSED YESTERDAY
Game Wardens Estimate Biggest Kill
Ever Made in This Section
of State.
The 1927 deer hunting season closed
last evening, and while it has been
utterly impossible to get even a fairly
accurate account of the number of
deer killed in the county, game war-
dens proclaim it the best season ever
known in this section of the State and
declare that a complete record would
probably show one thousand or more
deer as having been the result of the
two weeks’ hunt. Of the hundreds of
hunting parties that scoured every
piece of woodland in Centre county
it was quite noticeable that compara-
tively few, probably less than a doz-
en, failed to get at least one deer,
while upwards of fifty camps got
their limit of six. Dozens of others
got four and five, and from that down
to one and two.
The Foster crowd, at State College,
got their limit and returned home
early last week.
The McMullen-Yarnell party, hunt-
ed in Rag valley almost a week with-
out getting anything, then on Tues-
day of last week they bagged a deer,
slaughtered a 250-pound bear on
Wednesday and got another buck on
Thursday.
On Saturday upwards of twenty
automobiles passed through Belle-
fonte carrying hunters from the Sev-
en mountains district to their homes
in the western part of the State and
every car had from one to three deer
tied onto it. One car had a monster
bull elk, four-pronged, tied on the
running board, but the driver went
through town so fast that his identity
could not be learned, or where he had
bagged the elk.
Additional reports from the west-
ern section of the county include the
Dreibelbis party, 5 bucks.
The Neidigh hunting club, 5.
The Roosevelt club, 3.
The Corl-Herman crowd, 2.
The Rossman party, 2.
The Washington hunt club, 3.
The Gearhart party, 4.
The Indiana camp, 2.
The Bellwood camp, 3.
Among the day hunters who got
their deer were Blanchard Parsons, a
4-point; Irvin Graham, 3-point; Lloyd
Ripka, 4-point; Charles Cronemiller,
3-point; Mack Cronemiller, 4-point;
Roy Shoemaker, 4-point; Frank Mil-
ler, 3-point; Lawrence Wieland, 4-
point; Guy Wieland, 4-point; Russell
Miller, 4-point; Frank Davis, 4-point;
Joe Harpster, 3-point; Alfred Ross-
man, 3-point; R. E, Rossman, 4-point;
Guy Rossman, 4-point; Frank Crone-
miller, 3-point; Miss Ella Gummo, 3-
point; Mrs. Emma Wertz, 4-point;
Luther Carper, 3 point; O. A. Knight,
160-pound bear; Robert Campbell, an
18-pointer which weighed 200 pounds;
David Slagle, a 20-pointer weighing
190 pounds; John Gummo, an 18-
pointer which weighed over 200
pounds. W. D. Johnson wounded a
big bear but failed to get him.
ACADEMY STUDENTS KILL BUCK.
Stories of the many deer that were
being killed naturally excited a num-
ber of Bellefonte Acadernay students,
who have hunting proclivities, and se-
curing permission from headmaster
James R. Hughes, nine of them or-
ganized a hunting party and went
onto Nittany mountain, on Saturday
mocaing in quest of the fleet-footed
animals. Not being acquainted with
the mountain the boys planned to
drive along through the woods with-
in hailing distance of one another but
they soon became scattered and the
drive became a personally conducted
tour. About the middle of the fore-
noon one of the students, Harry Brew-
er, of Charleroi, espied a big buck
coming his way and when it got with-
in range he drew aim, fired and
badly wounded the animal, sending
two more bullets after it, which end-
ed his supply of ammunition. The
blood from the deer left a well-de-
fined trail and he took up the chase,
following it back and forth across the
mountain until he had traveled some
seven or eight miles, when the wound-
ed buck finally took refuge in the
impounding dam of Rockview peni-
tentiary. Brewer had no more am-
munition to shoot with but the buck
was almost done for, so he managed
to frighten him out of the water, then
clubbed him to death with his gun.
The buck had four prongs and weighed
over 150 pounds. A guard at the
penitentiary telephoned the Academy
of Brewer’s success and requested
that a car be sent out to bring the
deer to Bellefonte, which was done.
As Brewer had become separated
from all the others in the party none
of them knew of his exploit until they
returned home about noontime, but
they all shared in the venison dinner
this week.
In addition to being hunters two
Academy students are proving quite
adept at trapping fur-bearing ani-
mals. They are Baird Hershey, of
Pittsburgh, and Thomas Cancelmo, of
Philadelphia, who in just twenty-one
days trapped twenty-one animals—
muskrats, opossums and skunks—and
have their pelts all nailed up dry-
ing.
And now that the hunting season
is over a little retrospection on the
financial cost of same might be in-
teresting. County treasurer J. O.
Heverly issued 6,230 resident hunters’
licenses which at two dollars per
amounted to $12,460. He also issued
85 non-resident licenses at $15 per,
a total of $1,275, which made a grand
total of $13,735 spent for licenses be-
fore the hunter ever started to the
woods. Concluding that the hunter
owned his gun he had to purchase
1 Yeager’s,
ammunition, which would probably
cost him another two dollars. Then
he had his camp expenses, which
various hunters informed the writer
were approximately ten dollars a
week, not counting *ransportation.
While every hunter who took out a
license did not go out for deer it is
a conservative estimate that atleast
five thousand of them did, and the
ammunition and camp expenses of
that number ‘would foot up $60,000.
Of course a large number of the
hunters are farmers and most of their
eatables they took from their own
larder, so that the actual cost to them
would not be so great. :
