SEASON FOR DEER HUNTING OPENS Many Bucks Shot otf-First Day in Mountains Near Waynesboro Waynesboro, >Pa„ Dec. 3. The deer season opened tip in this por tion of the Blue Ridge Mountains in a jiffy and the sportsmen that went out to hunt them Saturday, the first day, were well rewarded for their trouble, as a large number were brought down. John F. Knepper, of Waynesboro, went into the mountains early in the morning and hunted about Toms town on Greeji Ridge. At 9 o'clock ho spied a line deer only a short dis tance from him, and fired away with good effect, bringing it down. It had ten prongs and weighed ISS pounds. Abram Staley, of the Mont Alto Forestry Department, at Mont Alto, killed a nine-prong buck shortly af ter 7 o'clock on the hill east of the old Mont Alto Park. Shortly afterward, Roy Mickley, of Mont Alto, shot a six-prong buck near the same spot where Mr. Staley killed his deer. Christopher Calimer, of Glen Fur ney. shot a spike buck in the Green Ridge section. John Jtosenberger, living at Blue Rock, north of Waynesboro, killed a ten-prong buck near the old vine yard. Roy Ressler, son of Amos Ressler, of Roadside, was also a successful hunter. He killed an eight-prong buck weighing 110 pounds on Shri ner's mountains, northeast of Road side. He is a resident of Pittsburgh. John Hughes, of Maryland, who has been spending some time at the home of D. T. Thomas, of Glen Fur ney, killed a four-prong buck on the Green Ridge at 9.30 which weighed 175 pounds. H. B. Moats, Blue Rock, while hunting in the mountains came across a big buck that had been killed by some hunter, near the vine yard. Mr. Moats waited all after noon for the hunter that killed it to come and get it. But it is thought that when he shot the deer it ran into the bushes some distance before it fell dead, and the hunter thought he had missed his mark and went in search of others. Mr. Moats took the deer to his home. It weighed about 175 pounds. On a number of occasions deer that have been shot by hunters have gone more than a hundred yards before falling over and the hunters fail to tlnd the animals in the thick underbrush, and it falls the lot of other hunters to lind them a few hours later. Many deer that are wounded make a getaway and are killed by other hunters. Robert Small and Clarence Yea ger, of Mont Alto, and two other persons hunting in the vicinity each killed a deer Saturday morning. Two bucks were also killed by a couple of Greencastle hunters near Caledonia. Good news is expected in a day or so from the members of the Mont erey Gun Club in camp at Newman's and the Rouzerville Rifle Club, the Sport Gun Club, of Waynesboro, and the Coco Cola Club, of Waynesboro, now in camp at Cold Springs. Each of these camps usually bring down from three to six deer. The Cash town camp Usually carries off the laurels. Miss Martha F.
