The gun hunt throughout the state ends Saturday and officials said they felt certain the final total will surpass 1963 figures of an estimated 4,300 kills by gun hunters and 288 by bow and arrow hunters. About 2,350 deer were bagged last year In controlled hunts at Camp Atterbury, Crane Navel Ammunition Depot and Jefferson Proving Grounds. All three areas will continue special hunts through the re mainder of this week. Overall, officials said they know that at least 2,400 deer have been shot so far. Final figures, however, were not expected to be available for at least several weeks. “However, I feel certain we will surpass last year's total, said William B. Ginn, chief of the game section of the conservation department’s fish and game division in Indianapolis.
