Barâ€" rette, Bill Welsh and Adrien Maurice, were highly complimentary in their remarks about hunting in the Sudbury district. Reports previous to the anrivâ€" al of the men from their trip were that deer were numerous in the district but from the remarks that these men passâ€" ed about the hunting, it would appear that the Sudbury district is a real hunter‘s paradise. "There were so many deer arormd, that we had to hide behind the trees for fsar of being run over," said one of the hunters. All of the men said that they didn‘t have to travel far from camp to find the deer. They reâ€" ported that the deer were comparativeâ€" ly tame in the district. ‘The four mean left at the end of last month and spent ten days hunting in the district surrounding the Pickerel River, a river that flows into the French River.
