BILL TO KILL BREEDING FEMALE DEER* 



THE SAME OLD DOE KILLING DEMAND AT 



ALBANY 



TT IS time for the New York legislature to enact a law 

 -■- to prohibit the hunting of senators and assemblymen 

 by Adirondack guides and cheap "sports" who demand the 

 right to kill breeding female deer because some men are 

 not smart enough to kill antlered bucks. 



The salient features of the doe-killing proposition embod- 

 ied in Mr. Kasson's Assembly Bill No. 495 are easily 

 brought into view. 



With thousands of buck deer in the Adirondacks, why 

 should any deer hunter come before New York's highest 

 legislative body, year after year, demanding the right to 

 kill breeding female deer? 



No one need look far to find the correct answer. 



Primarily the privilege of killing female deer is wanted 

 by men who try to be sportsmen, but who are such poor 

 woodsmen and such bungling hunters that they find it too 



*Read at a public hearing before the Conservation Committee of the 

 New York Legislature, at Albany, on March 22, 1916.
