Increase- in the deer population, 1 now estimated at approximately D 13 rent and YALA 3000, has brought present-day conhyd

thorization to provide an open season on deer. In the first place the department must determine the advisability" of permitting deer hunting. Since there is no desire to exterminate the deer population, how many deer should the hunters be allowed to take? When should the open sea~ son be staged? What type of firearms should be permitted and should the entire deer-populated section of southern Indiana be included or only parts? : These are only a part of the ques tions which must be worked out before a decision can be reached. Studies are already under way, results of which will aid conservation officials in making their decision,

Hunters Pose Problem The big problem, however, is the hunter. The bill which would have provided a special license for deer hunting in case an open season was declared, was vetoed by Governor Gates. This would mean apparently, that each holder of a hunting license or veterans free permit would be a potential deer hunter. Turning three-quarters of a million hunters loose in the approximately 15 to 20 counties in which a majority of the deer would be found, would create a major safety problem for both the hunters and the residents of the areas involved. As a result, conservation officials intend to give the problem plenty of study before arriving at any decision. ;

More Game Refuges Over 300 acres of privately-owned land, leased for a 10-year period during the past month, will become part of the state-wide wild life habitat restoration program. With the addition of these tracts, Indiana now has 5675 acres under lease on which plantings are made to provide food and cover for birds and other wild life. The areas serve as wild life refuges, being closed to hunting, although hunting must be permitted on surrounding land of the same farm. Since its inauguration in Indiana the program has demonstrated its value in providing protected areas to which song and game birds and other wild life are attracted with a resulting improvement in hunting conditions in adjacent territory.

Quail Study Planned

An answer to the question of what becomes of the quail released in Indiana each year, will be sought through the liberation this year of 48 banded quail. The banded birds will be released by conservation officers in all counties except a few in the northern part of the state considered off the quail range. With the co-operation of the ‘landowners, hunters and local conservationists, the officers will compile detailed reports on what happens to the birds after their release.

Fur Farms Are Farms Operators of Hoosier fur farms, engaged in the breeding, raising and producing in captivity and marketing of foxes, nutria, marten, mink, chinchilla, rabbit or caracul, are engaged in an agricultural pursuit and the animals so raised in captivity shall be deemed domestic animals, according to the Indiana general assembly.

What it means is that such operators no longer are required to pay for a game breeders license, formerly costing them $5 annually. Howéver, they are still required to register with the department and make an annual report on the number of animals and pelts held and sold.
