>, Fin, Fur and Feather Antlerless Deer Information To sportsmen who plan to hunt antlerless deer (December 12-13) in a county other than the one in which they live the Game Commis- sion offers these items of informa- tion: Licenses will be available only from the county treasurer in the county in which the sportsman de- sires to hunt. The likelihood of ob- taining a ‘“‘doe” license will be greater if application is made of the treasurer of a county in which the quota is high. Certain northern Pennsylvania counties have been al- lotted an exceptionally large num- ber of these licenses. As examples, in the northwest Warren, McKean and Elk Counties each have been allocated 12,000, and Forest County will have 8,000 licenses for this special season. There are resource management aspects, too, that sportsmen will want to consider. Officials of the Allegheny National Forest, which lies in parts of these four counties, have made competent surveys and learned there are many does to each buck in the area they admin- ister.

FETTER FAMILY MANAGEMENT ® ATLANTIC CITY NEW JERSEY sider wildlife a recreational asset, but their watersheds and timber programs have suffered severely from an overpopulation of deer on the National Forest land. In the northeast, both Bradford and Pike Counties will have 6,000 antlerless deer licenses, and Susque- hanna and Wayne Counties 7,000 each. In that corner also there is special need for herd control. Because the Game Commission is charged with the management of deer in the interest of the hunters, the herd itself and in protection to farm crops and motorists the two- day antlerless' deer season is being held to alleviate the problems. Antlerless deer licenses will be available at the offices of county treasurers as of September 26, the Revenue Department advises. Appli- cations for these licenses will be available from county treasurers the week beginning September 12. Other issuing agents will have the application forms at a later date. Peanut Butter and Bears Many, many mothers across the country will agree that a sure way to lure their children from play to the dinner table is to announce, “We are having peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.” According to a recent news item, trappers for the Michigan Depart- ment of Conservation have discov- ered peanut butter is an effective bait, also, in attracting some of na- ture’s kids—namely bears—to trap. The item says that “though bears are still staunch honey lovers they like peanut butter most of all.” Qualified Observer Reports On Grouse Grouse prospects for this fall have been the subject of much spec- ulation by Pennsylvania bird hunt- ers. In the August issue of The American Field, under the title ‘Fan Tales,” Marc DeBerti, Brook- ville, Pa., gives his views on the subject as of mid-summer 1955. An employee of the U. S. Forest Service, DeBerti works on the con- trol of forest tree diseases. In his official duties he systematically covers, on foot, much Allegheny National Forest Land, State Forest Lands and State Game Lands in the northcentral part of the state. The region described is called by De- Berti “The heart of what is known as the best grouse hunting terri- tory in the East.” The man is a field trial naturalist and a qualified observer who has watched grouse population trends for years. His views do not necessarily reflect grouse conditions state-wide. In his article DeBerti says: “In the course of our official duties it is a simple matter to record the number of grouse nests found, num- ber of eggs in each nest, the number that are destroyed by predators. As the summer’ goes on . . . we keep count of the number of birds reach- ing maturity. We determine aver- ages for: eggs in nests ,number of birds hatching, nests destroyed, and the number of chicks in each brood seen. Finally, averages for| half- grown broods, three-quarter grown broods, and eventually averages in late September before the ‘crazy flight’ season of mature birds. We take all of these figures and try to arrive at some sort of workable plan or idea as to whether there are going to be more or less grouse for the coming shooting season and the field trials on the Allegheny National Forest. “At this writing the birds are three-fourths grown. Naturally our findings and calculations are not complete, but we do have a definite trend that may be some indication of what grouse hunters will find this coming November. With the same number of men working in the same manner we did not find as many nests this May as we did last year. We did notice a definite in- crease in the number of eggs per nest. Last year our average was a little less than nine eggs per nest. This spring our average for a total of 22 nests located was ten plus eggs per nest. “ ‘Peeps’ in coveys of grouse in- creased tremendously in 1955 over 1954. Last year we noted an aver- age of five ‘peeps’ per hen, while this summer the average is' eight plus.” For the time being we can only say that the season for the hatch- ing and raising ih} young grouse has been favorable, Broods found were a little less than last year, but the number of birds per brood increased substantially. ““. . . Barring unfore- seen conditions, this year should be at least as good if not a little better than 1954,” concludes DeBerti. San Juan Rabbits Banned Act No. 132, making it unlawful to import or release San Juan rab- bits in Pennsylvania prior to Aug- ust 31, 1957, was passed in the cur- rent legislative session. It'was signed into law by Governor Leader August 31, 1955. Penalties for violation are provided. The Department of Agriculture is charged with the enforcement of the Act, which reads in part: “It shall be unlawful to import or release any such rabbit after August 31, 1957, unless the Secretary of Agriculture, after conferring with Pennsylvania Game Commission, shall decide the San Juan rabbit is not destructive to farms or farm products or other property and therefore is not a nuisance. In such case the Secre- tany of Agriculture shall make pub- lic his findings and the provisions of this act shall no longer be effec- tive.; Good Human Relations Solves Hunting Problem “Hunters and farmers are people. Very often they are the same peo- ple. A big percentage of ‘pavement’ AT Call TED RUFF for your PLUMBING OR HEATING Troubles Dallas 4-7726 Experienced In Oil Heat FUNERAL ’ SERVICE hunters are farm boys grown citi- farmers who hurried their harvest to go shootin’. “These facts make it certain that sooner or later we'll solve the prob- lem of farmer-hunter relations . . . about which so much has been printed—and so much has been said that’s unprintable.” The foregoing appeared in the Wildlife Crusader, Saskatchewan, Canada. These down-to-earth obser- vations could just as well have been made in this state. In Pennsylvania, with the small game season nearing, sportsmen are beginning to think of past associa- tions with farmer friends in'favor- ite hunting territory. Following a growing practice, many sportsmen’s clubs will meet in late summer With farmers in their area or with local grange members. At such meetings free discussions of problems that vex both groups are brought into the open. The result, before and during the hunting season, is better understanding and closer coopera- tion between rural and urban resi- dents. Often, during such get-togethers, workable solutions to problems of mutual interest are found and proper action follows. Showing neighborliness and interest in the welfare of their rural friends, sports- men’s organizations often provide safety zone signs, for posting around buildings, help farmers in emergen- cies and strive to make the locality an unhealthy place for the rascals who cause land to be posted against all hunters. : Boiled down to cause and effect the answer to private land closure to: hunting is that simple, because townsmen and countrymen are, after ail, just people. STATE POLICE SAY Fast starts and stops on slip- pery highways make any car tend to skid. A good rule to follow is: Do everything slowly. Man in Sweden swallowed a live frog on a bet.
