THIRD BIENNIAL STATEMENT 63 



'The Commission believes that when the final figures are 

 available they will indicate that considerably more than 

 20,000 deer have been killed during the season of 1919. In 

 the season of 1917, when approximately 37,000 men hunted 

 deer, the final figure indicated a kill of between 8,000 and 

 10,000 bucks. The following general conclusions, however, 

 may be stated even in advance of the final figures: First, 

 that the number of bucks killed has exceeded the number of 

 bucks taken in a buck law year, and that the new law has 

 thus not operated to protect the bucks; second, that the 

 number of does taken has been very much in excess of the 

 number of bucks."
