county this coming fall.
Under the recent ruling of the
commission 200 doe deer could be
killed in Blair county November 25,
26 and 87 ■ provided the hunters
take oat special licenses at 88 each.
Three special permits would be issued for every doe proposed to be
killed aad residents of the county
would get the first opportunity to
purchase the permits. According to
the statements made by the commission the doe killing season was
authorized because It is necessary
to reduce the state's deer herd due
