as they do hunting deer. What good is your venison after being chased by dogs when you do get it? Ask your butcher if he could hold his trade by putting that kind of meat on the market. My friends tell me that my venison seems to be so much nicer than the average and they wonder why. The explanaâ€" tion is very simple. I still hunt, shoot my meat while it is cool and is properly In Parry Sound District there are very few wolves, but I have seen more dry does than fawns. From the first day of the hunting season the whole country is ringing with the tongue of the dogs and about two dogs out of every ten are lost from thneir owners, and are running deer both night and day. I have taken into account that oneâ€"third of the dog owners spend as much time hunting their dog, that has been hired, or paid a fancy price for I am Told, that in the West a fiveâ€" wire fence will turn coyotes and I am asking why eight or ten wires would not keep out the wolves. The deer would soon realize their haven as the geese do in your bird sanctuary at Kingsville. I admit that I know very little of wolves. I have been in places where the snow was really padded down with tracks, but never have I seen a wolf in my fourteen years of deerâ€" hunting. I believe he is the most shy. and treacherous of all beasts. Now what about his half brother "the dog"? You know that the hunting season is on during the mating seaâ€" son for the deer. After a doe is bred usually in the early hours, along comes the hunters‘ dogs. The buck is cunning enough to spring to one side in hiding and the dogs pursue the doe perhaps for hours and finally, if not shot she is overheated and takes to the icy water which is the only means of escape. What happens? An abortion, and anâ€" other dry doe for that season. I can recall back to 1918 when hun:tâ€" ing with Mark Robinson in the disâ€" trict of Ragged Lake and Wolf Lake, along the south line of the Algonquin Park. Here there were seemingly more signs of deer devoured by wolves than live ones. These poor creatures, partly eaten alive., and left no doubt. for the silence of Heaven to relieve them in death. I asked Mark why the wolf could not be kept down as these sights were outrageous. He gave me that sarâ€" castic smile, as only you know Mark can, and said, "Who is going to help us?" We fire rangers last year killed four wolves all told; two were two shot and we are trying to get every one we can. Four killed, and no doubt, four hundred born I thought to myself. Am I right? In this park of 5,000 square miles if a man outlaw was wantâ€" ed and a $100 reward offered for his capture that park would be combed and not a stone left unturned till the marâ€" auder was captured by his own kin. l With reference to yours bearing the title "Wolf or Deer," refer to Acts 20â€"29. "For I know that after my deâ€" parture shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock." This is a warning from Paul, referring to the assembly, of course, but is symbolical of any flock and is applicable to the subâ€" ject which we are referring to. Not yet has the prophecy of Isaiah 11â€"6 come to pass. "The wolf also shall dwell wih the lamb, etc." Our flocks of deer are being devoured. Are we actâ€" ng our part as shepherds, or are we goâ€" ing to let the game be destroyed in the same manner as our forests were by the l stupidity of the soâ€"called educated man? How long are we going to wait before we take any action? ' I wish to congratulate you and stand in support of your article in the Januâ€" ary issue of the Canadian *"Forest and Outdoors‘‘ magazine. I am a proâ€" fessed Christian and study my Bible for instruction, reproof, etc. Several weeks ago The Advance pubâ€" lished a letter written to this paper by Jack Miner, the noted Canadian naturalist, in regard to the menace of the wolves in this country, these cowâ€" ardly beasts at present threatening to kill off all the deer. The same letter, or a similar one was also published in The TIllustrated Forest and Outdoors the official organ of the Canadian Forâ€" estry Association. In reply to the letâ€" ter Mr. Miner has received a regular flood of mail endorsing his stand. One of these letters is so out of the ordinary that Mr. Miner forwarded it to Forest and OQutdoors, the paper publishing it in its current issue. This letter is from Mr. O. Hazen, 518 Clinton street, Toâ€" ronto, and is as follows:â€" BRINGS SCRIPTURE T0 THE FIGHT AGAINST THE WOLVES Parry Hazen Endorses the Fight Beâ€" ing Made by Jack Miner to Have the Wolves Curbed.

Neither would he need the wolf‘s halfâ€"brother to get his venison. supplement to The Porcupine Advance, Timmins _ _ Open your Bible to Genesis 33â€"13 and see what Jacob says about overâ€"driving the herd. Jacob was a wise man in regards to increasing his flocks and if we would use more of Jacob‘s common sense, our flocks of deer would be multiâ€" plied. Does God take in an account of his worried creatures? Scriptures says he cares for oxen, and I think he does for deér. What about Esalms 84â€"3> "Yea the sparrow hath found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even Thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God." How many sportsmen take into account God‘s care over His creatures? Yet God has put all animals under his control, and is superior to them all, and if man had continued 1nl My system of deerâ€"hunting is the same as mooseâ€"hunting. I can call a buck to my camp door. This I prefer rather than dogging him miles away and I get a lot of sport of outwitting the buck in their own playgrounds, and when I do get him, I have venison worth bringing home. My buck will usually keep the family in meat well on until New Year. This largely deâ€" f pends upon the weight of the buck and the number of friends and neighbours that come in to rejoice with maintain that if the dogs and wolves were exterminated, the country would be overrun with deer, and we could be allowed two instead of one. One mornâ€" ing, the opening day of the season, I counted twenty deer tracks all travellâ€" ing north up the Key River dogged entirely out of the district. The result was we had to travel miles to where I could play hideâ€"andâ€"seek with my playâ€" mates, "the noble buck." Previous to this therte were plenty of them around our camp. bled as you would any domestic animal. Then the question comes back "Why does the game law allow the use of dogs?"
