pers vould seem to indicate that the present session will not pass without the adoption of legislation to prevent the contemptible slaughter of deer in the water Let us hope that Government Trill deal promptly and vigorously with this matter and put an end to a- practice that no true sportsman should be guilty of follow ing Our hunting party numbers sixteen and we go into the woods each fall without a dog We usually succeed in killing at least one deer for each man in the party and we are doubly repaid for all outlay by the re newed health and vigor due to long tramps and bracing atmosphere Within two miles of our camp is a lake and we have known hunters to come to this hire all the dogs in the settlement and a couple of men to put them out and then spend time paddling about the lake armed with a club or a revolver These pot hunters invariably took out deer each If they were compelled to give the deer a reasonable chance and kill on land they would be forced to do without venison for the rest of their lives A deer thait has been chased by dogs until heated then driven to water and kilted is practically useless for eating purposes The flesh Willi spoil in a very few days From a sportsmans view there can be no justification of wanton but chery and killing deer in the water Is the worst form of butchery allowable is the despicable method of the lazy pothunter and
