FOREST AND STREAM 
DEER IN PENNSYLVANIA. 
West Chester, Pa., July 23.—There are promises 
that hunters of Philadelphia may be able to shoot 
deer within twenty-five miles of that city at the 
end of three years if the plans being carried out 
in Chester county prove a success, but it is cer¬ 
tain that if they are a success the woods in every 
section of the county will be crowded with hunt¬ 
ers after a few deer on the opening day; and the 
local hunters look upon the matter as a farce. 
It will mean that every buck will have been lo¬ 
cated previous to the -opening of such a season 
and ruthlessly killed in cold blood on the first 
day. Deer shooting in such a territory is con¬ 
sidered a menace to the residents, inasmuch as 
high-powered rifles would be brought into play 
in a district in which a shot in any direction 
from almost any point may strike a farm house 
or people in the fields. The county is one of the 
most thickly populated in the State, almost every 
mile -being taken up by the towns, villages or as 
farm land. 
For three years seven deer, including six does, 
have been roaming about the county, having es¬ 
caped from private grounds near Ext-on and the 
owner making no effort to secure them again. 
These have bred until the herd when last located 
numbered, nine. To these were added two bucks 
a week ago by the State Game Commission and 
the entire herd is now in a small piece of ordi¬ 
nary woodland within a mile of the main line of 
the Pennsylvania Railroad at a point twenty miles 
west of Philadelphia, near where the original herd 
escaped. The hunters who planned and carried 
out this stocking expect some great sport and the 
State Game Commission has closed the county to 
deer hunting for three years to gratify their de¬ 
sires. W. T. HUNT. 
TAKING CARP ON A FLY. 
Hartford City, July 24. 
Martin J. Groves, a fly fisherman at Hartford 
City, Ind., caught a 3-pound carp on a No. 6 
hook, dark Montreal fly, in the Mississinewa river, 
above Albany, Indiana, Sunday. Mr. Groves is 
proprietor of the Corley Mills and Elevator at 
Hartford City. He said the carp struck just like 
a bass and fought like a bass, in fact, he sup¬ 
posed he had a full grown small mouth until he 
landed his strike to find that it was a 3-pound 
carp. The carp was prepared along with several 
bass and Mrs. Groves ate of the carp and de¬ 
clared it to be superior to the bass as a table dish.
