104 BUOKS KILLED Seven Mcoguntinoe Hoanting Grounds “Be. tween Bear Meadows and Welkert,— The Past Season the Best In Yenrs — State Foresters Make Accurate Ke. porte, The open season for deer closed on Wednesduy of last week and proved to be the most successful one for many years. From ali reports it appears that from 25 to 85 per cent. more deer were killed this season than for the past five seasons. In the Bear Mead- ows section there were located not less than twenty-two camps with approxi- mately 350 hunters in them and a total of thirty-three bucks were killed. The names of the hunting parties who shot these and so far as possible the names of the men who were fortunate enough to kill them follow : The Coatesville camp in the Bear meadows, 5 ; five-prong, four-prong, and 3 spikes, The Riley party in the Bear Mead- ws, 3 ; five-prong by D. A. Stuart, four-prong by Fred Weber, two-prong by John Fisher, The Raymoud paity in the Bear Meadows, 1 ; splke by Wm. C. Ray- mond. The Klinger party at Sand Bpring, 2; by James Klinger of Youngwood and George N, Fisher of Boalsburg. The Leech party in BShingletown Gap, 2; five-prong by N. E. Hess, four-prong by Prof. H. Btecker of State College, The Modocks at Stone Creek, 8, and much small game ; six-prong by A. M. L.uver, four-prong by J. B. Krebs, spike by Robert Bailey. The Btate College ** Tigers” near Hubler’s Gap, 4; five-prong by Clyde Thomas and Ira Slagle, four-prong by Irvin Holmes, three-prong by James Holmes, hunting on Nittany Moun- tain. The Blairsville camp at Monroe Furnsce, 1. The Charter Oak party, 5 The McAlvey’s Fort party, 1. The Wilson-Lightner party, 5. By far the largest buck reported in this section was a six-prong which was shot in what is known lecally as the Detwiler Hollow region by A. M. Lauver of the ** Modocks.” This deer was wounded early in the season and was followed for some days but not found, Five days later the body wae discovered in a badly decomposed state and only the bead and rack were removed. Itis iikely that these can be saved and mounted, although none of the meat could be esten. This buck would have weighed over 200 pounds and the antlers measured sixteen inches between the points and were very well developed and symmetrical. More spike bucks were killed than any other kind and all were of good pize and fat. Does seem to be more plentiful than ever before and are not at all wild, one party reporting that they had seen twenty in one day. Many of the does are quite old and of large size. One hunter asserts that a doe about the eiz2 of a young cow came within a short distance of him, stopped and looked around and then trotted off very leisurely ; in the mean- tinue be bad his gun leveled at her but just then the words of that old and familiar hymuo, * Yield Not to [lemp- tation, for Yielding is Sin,” came in his ears and he put up his gun and was content with watching her with wistful eyes. Bear, too, seem to have been more plentiful than usual, many having been seen and shot at but few killed. A white fawn about the size of 8 three months old lamb was aleo seeen ; these, however, are very rare, Despite the fact that the woods were #0 very dry and the weather unusually warm making bunting very difficult, it is remarkable that the past deer gearon was 80 successful, It seems to be the generally accepted opinion that all kinds of game is becoming more plentiful because of the fact that much of our forest land is watched carefully and protected from forest fires and the timber in consequence is growing up rapidly. This not only gives the game an opportunity to grow and increase but also affords them places of refuge and an abundance’ of acorns, chest. puts, and tender buds snd herbs for food. WALTER D.

Georges Valley party Volunteers at Woodward SM A on a Mr. Meek says that only one or two does were killed as far as he knows and there were very few violations of the game laws. The hunters were very careful and deserve great pralse for starting no forest fires. However, someone tried to burn out the game preserve a week or two before hunting season, but the fire was discovered and put out before it had burned more than five acres. It was set at the Cherry Runend. Many foxes, skunke and weasels have been trapped. The trappers say they will trap more for bounty this year on account of the low price of furs. All in all this was one of the most successful deer seasons In many years. Many very large deer were killed. In lower Haines township, known as the Buffalo Division of the Btate Forest, over which Carl Motz has charge as ranger, eleven deer were kill- ed. Mr. Motz eays that only one coe was found and that this animal was killed before the opening of the sesson The parties killing the deer are as follows : Woodward Gun Club wh— MENDOIE PRICY ..oommrssrirs sasrmerssssrssner senises Laurelton party Woodward Volunteers...
