A light cover of snow fell the night making tracking easy. However the trees and bushes were so wet and the day so windy that not all the hunters were out and few deer were killed that day. The exception was the Miflinburg Cub, who, rumor gays, got five buck deer the first day of before the season, Many clubs camped on State land, The Forestry De- partment is giad to have the hunters use the ground for this The land belongs to all the people in the is their right to use it, The only restriction is that the cawmp- State purpose, slate and it ers obey the rules and get 8 camping of 1 A De costs nothing, and careful of fire. t fire which very bunters seldom 8 permit course be through carve- ie ness, bere do geem to deer around Coburn ss there are ra Mills Woodward mountains back not be 80 many west at of ( ind as aod ovuarn are rougher and do not sil much for the d places mentioned.

The number of deer in this preserve may be judged from the fact that about sixty tops of alfalfa will be fed be tween this and spring. In convenient places on the preserve long racks snd troughs are erected and covered, and in these the hay is placed once or twice a week, as occasion demands.
