FOREST AND STREAM PUBLISHING COMPANY 
itself may seem surprising, but the average 
American unaware of the facts, would naturally 
attribute it to very rigid game laws and a short 
open season. The astonisliing fact is that the 
deer are protected by no law and there is no 
closed season recognized by law. If you owned 
any of the land over which the deer range you 
could shoot as many as you chose at any time 
, of year, so long as you shot them on your own 
1 land, and as far as the law is concerned yon 
would incur no penalty whatever. Your popu¬ 
larity, however, would probably be seriously 
impaired. The deer, in point of fact, are pro¬ 
tected by common consent of the land owners. 
By common consent the open season is from 
the middle of August to the middle of October; 
by common consent the does are always pro¬ 
tected and only the stags are shot, and by com¬ 
mon consent the number of stags that may be 
shot within the boundaries of a given property 
is in proportion to the number of acres con¬ 
tained in it, the relation between the acreage 
and the number of deer it will support having 
been carefully determined and from this de¬ 
duced the number of stags that may be killed to 
a given acreage yearly without danger of dimin¬ 
ishing the annual supply. Thus as many as a 
hundred head may be killed on some of the big 
properties, while on the smaller the limit may 
be as low as five or ten. On the Farley Deer 
! Forest in the eastern part of the county of 
i Inverness, leased by Edward H. Litchfield for 
; the season just passed, twenty-five was the limit 
t and incidentally it may be added that the full 
number was obtained, though such is always the 
case. The owners of the land it must be under¬ 
stood have no property rights in the deer. They 
have only the privilege of shooting them when 
they happen to be on their own land and cannot 
follow them across the boundaries or shoot at 
them when they are on another man’s property. 
Naturally the shooting at any given point in 
their range depends upon the movements of 
the animals and as they feed up wind they will 
be much more numerous toward one limit of 
their range than another when the wind has 
been blowing continuously for several days from 
the same direction. The only legal protection 
the deer get is in the form of a gun license. 
Merely to own a gun one must have a license, 
but this does not include a license to shoot 
game, though the former is embraced in the 
latter. The lease of a deer forest or grouse 
moor, however, carries a license to shoot with 
it.—Brooklyn Life.

A HANDY HELPMATE. 
F. C. Harvey, a lawyer, living at Tenafly, N. 
J., who with his wife has been at Berry’s 
camps at Yoke Pond, says a Bangor corre¬ 
spondent of the Sun, started over Boardman 
Mountain recently on his way to the railroad 
station. Mrs. Harvey made a later start, 
carrying her husband’s rifle. 
Near the top of the mountain Harvey en¬ 
countered a she bear in the trail. The animal 
charged furiously and Plarvey, who was un¬ 
armed, took to a spruce tree. 
In his haste he dropped his mittens. The 
bear showed no signs of leaving, and at the end 
of two hours Harvey’s hands were badiv frost¬ 
bitten. Fearing that he could hold on but little 
longer, he strapped himself to a limb with his 
belt. 
The bear scented Mrs. Harvey as she came 
along the trail near noon and her husband 
shouted a warning as the animal started for 
her. Mrs. Harvey, who is an expert shot, 
stopped the bear with the second bullet when it 
was within ten feet of her. 
Although his hands pained him greatly, 
Harvey, with his wife’s aid, succeeded in remov¬ 
ing the pelt, an unusually fine one. It will be 
made into a rug. This is the third bear Mrs. 
Harvey has shot in Maine.
