Northern Council Issues Deer Harvest Warning Local hunters are being asked to think twice before harvesting anterless deer this season. Check station and early season archer hunters are confirming DNR deer population statistics which indicate local deer herds have taken a beating since the late 1980’s. A deer harvest warning has been issued for St. Joseph County which now contains less than 3,500 whitetail deer, noting that well over 1,000 deer are protected within the confines of Poatao Creek State Park. Every year, the Indiana DNR issues thousands of regular shotgun, archery, muzzle loader and depredation tags. Poaching, road kills and natural mortality this winter will also take their share of deer. In spite of the plummeting deer population, the DNR issued over 2,100 1994 anterless permits for St. Jospeh County. If even half of all anterless tags are filled this year, it will take years for the county deer herd to recover. Area sportsmen are reminded that almost anyone who wanted one, had an opportunity to obtain an anterless permit this year. Remember, hunters on neighboring

properties are usually depleting the same small deer herd. Record harvests of the past and excessive numbers of anterless permits issued this year, may wipe out smaller deer herds if too many anterless deer are harvested. The whitetail deer is a magnificant animal everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy. The Northern Council of Indiana Deer Hunters believes there is a big difference between hunting deer and just killing them. All true sportsmen respect the whitetail deer, and know there is more to deer hunting than killing the first doe or button buck that walks past. To insure good hunting next year, prudent deer hunters practice selective harvest killing only what the family can eat and then only when the deer herd will be able to sustain the loss. DEPARTMENT OF INDIANA, AMERICAN LEGION AND AUXILIARY VISIT HERE The husband and wife team of the Department of Indiana, American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary, pleasantly surprised the local Post and Unit of Orville Easterday 189 this past Thursday by their presence in Walkerton. Department Commander Ron Lowe and his wife Department President Karen Lowe arrived to attend the regular meeting of Post 189. It so happened the Unit was having an informal social gathering at the home of Unit President, Alice Flaugher. The Department President was taken to the home of the Unit President where she was introduced and joined in the “Auxiliary talk” of the evening. President Flaugher served refreshments for all to enjoy. November 3 will be the regular meeting ofthe Unit when the 75th Birthday of the National ogranization will be recognized. It was at the first National Convention of the American Legion Auxiliary in Kansas City, Missouri, November 10, 1921, that the name “American Legion Auxiliary” was adopted. November is also Membership month and reports will be made at this meeting. November 11 — Veterans’ Day — all citizens should pause and say a grateful “Thank You” to all who served and are serving in the military of the United States. The meeting will convene at 7:30 p.m. in the Post Home.
