THURSDAY, AUGUST 10. 1961 summer sportsman From time to time the suggestion is made to the Game Commission in Pennsylvania that a deer season in which deer of either sex may be taken should be established. Advocates of such a season cite as examples the successful operation of similar seasons in other states. This example, how ever, is only significant when conditions such as hunting pres sure, availability of hunting area, type of forest land, and size of deer herd are considered. IN THE FIRST PLACE, considering the above mentioned conditions, an any-deer season in Pennsylvania would have to be of short duration—perhaps only a few days. This would remove much of the desirability `rom hunting for many people. The idea of "ending a week or two away from family, job, id city life is the best part of hunting season many. Besides this consideration, studies in this ate have long indicated that an any-deer hunt tg season would be of little value, and perhaps 'Wally harmful, to our deer herd. Finally, there is the safety factor. Can you 57 /1 „1 l a y imagine the first day of deer season on Nittany Mountain in an any-deer season? Anything that moved would he in danger of annihilation. THE FACT THAT HUNTERS must differentiate between buck and doe increases safety and decreases the number of hunting accidents to a great extent. So, I think the idea of an any-deer hunting season is completely uncalled for . in Pennsylvania. Our existing hunting season set-up has provided deer hunting which is almost un surpassed in the East, despite our heavy population and hunting pressure. It might be wise to note that pre§ent hunting licenses ex pire on August 31. Too, every person who buys a 1961 license should be sure that he receives with it an "Official Digest of Pennsylvania Hunting and Trapping Laws and Regulations." THE GAME AND FUR SEASONS and bag limits are not printed on the license tag as they have been in the past, hut are contained in the digest. Things look good in August and September for bass fisher men. Streams and rivers in the area are in fine shape for this time of year. Every fisherman I've talked to has been conAs tently doing well. The Juniata River remains a hot spot. Poe Valley (for smallmouths), Black Moshannon and the Sinnema honing Creek are other good bass areas. BAIT FISHERMEN. it seems, are having their year. The abundance of natural feed is providing excellent opportunity for the live-bait enthusiast to cash in on some excellent catches. Ilelgrammites, minnows and crawfish are the hottest bass baits right now, and should remain so throughout this month and next.' • • • The following record, and comparison with last year, of deer killed in Pennsylvania during the months of May and June were compiled from reports submitted by Game Protectors across the Commonwealth. They cover only known mortalities. In May, '731 deer were killed, compared with 774 deer fatalities during June of this year. Last year, the totals for May and June were, respectively, 543 and 697. OF THE 774 DEER KILLED during June of this year, the following causes were noted. Vehicles, 608; illegal killings, 21; dogs, 19; killed for crop dalnage, 34; miscellaneous, 92. The alarming increase in the number of deer killed out of season is primarily due to the increase in the number of deer killed on the highways. Drive carefully!
