Game authorities noted a rash
of violations in recent months
in the ten-county north-central
division.
From January 1, this year,
until the middle of November.
109 cases of unlawful deer Kill
ing had been successfully pros
ecuted in that area alone Al
most all of them dated since
early July. The number of cases
and fines imposed, about $15,
000, established an all-time high
in this division, for the period

On leased land near the road
the Game Commission's food
and cover crew had planted 4
acres of wheat. Probably 30 deer
enjoy the green cover every
night. This has attracted crowds
of sightseers who enjoy watch

fact, some nights the place look
like a drive-in theatre On the

Road Kill of Wildlife High
Many motorists have remark
ed on the exceptional number of
wild birds and animals they ob
served dead on highways this
fall. Such road kills are gener
ally considered to be one meas-
ure of wildlife abundance.
Recently, Game Protector
Norman L. Erickson, of Empor-
ium, produced some unusual
figures on the number of deer
that fell to highway vehicles in
his district- He reports 102 deer
were crash victims on Cameron
County roads ii October of this
vear. Erickson points out that
Deputy Joseph Zekoll of Sinne
mahoning. picked up 31 of the
102 deer, and he says, “Our de

not only saved me much valu-
able time at this busy time of
year he also ‘saved me a great
deal of auto mileage.”
