hunting asssftn in Pennsylvania,
when Sn aranfy of sportsmen running into the 'thousands invaded
the wads, of the state, and ever
since the deer have been taken la
almost countless nvknbers.   Monday
mmmOmmt
were successful " te getting their
quarry. In town and along the
state highway automobiles could
ba seen' carrying the carcasses of
deer, some being fine specimens.
Locally tbe hunters gunned up
Bell's gap and in the Tipton section, where there is a mountain
fastness, the doer abounding fai
large numbers. Possibly a hundred
deer were taken in this section by
local sportsmen. Both sexes are
prey for the banters this year according to a ruling by the State
Game ComhUission a few weeks
ago. Deer sre becoming so numerous fat tbe atate that there is not
sufficient food for their sustenance and it was deemed wise to
reduce the number by the killing
of does and bucks.
The hunters are numerous and
a number of fatalities have been
recorded in the state, thus far
fifteen persons havijrig been killed
while in the thickets. It is great
pastime, but very dangerous.
