I mry [3 BY Mr 1 Cyr gf Mule Deer Imperiled By Forked-Horn Law San Francisco. May 8.~B?caus?, of a change in deer hunting regulations, which permits taking of forked-horn Rocky Mountain mule deer bucks, California sportsmen and conservationists fear that the state's most important species of game is threatened with extinction, The successful quest for one of the mighty lords that range the lava beds of Modoc and Lassen counties is to the average sportsman the nimrod's crowning achievement. This beautiful animal is noted for his sice, his massive antlers, and sagacity in eluding hunters. Before the 1935 season, lUwaa unlawful to Bhoot a mule deer buck bearing fewer than three points on each side. In the spring of 1935, however, the state legislature patsed a "conservation measure, permitting each hunter to kill one buck bearing a minimum of two points on each side. The measure, was passed because of consistent reports that many forked-horn. bucks were killed and left to rot by careless shooters who ha<k fired at the first sight of horns, and' who "hadn't, bothered to count the points." Immediately a storm of- protest over the measure arose. Representing the voice of opponents of the law is James C. Jarman, president of the Alturas Chamber of Commerce. "The present law eventually will destroy the mule deer," ho says. "In past years it was possible for a hunter to pick his deer, and specimens ranging from 300 to more than 400 pounds went out of Modoc county. Dry weather during the last decade has whittled fifty pounds from rthe average deer, and the forked-horn law caused the general average to be around 150 pounds this season. "Unless the forked-horn law Is repealed, I believe that In another decade it will be a rarity to see a deer in these mountains that will dress 100 pounds. There were hundreds of barren does this year. Next season there will bo more. I can see the ultimate destruction of deer in these forests if the present wanton slaughter is continued." \\ here only a few local sportsmen sought mule deer ten years ago, now I opining day sees thousands of ,nlmrods pouring into the comparatively small area that is the animals native habitant. Ui 1927, start of the present "tag" system inaugurated by the Division of Fish and Game, 806 mule deer were killed in Modoc and Lassen counties. Total kill for the state that year was 19,507. In 1935, however, the total kill had grown to 2,625, as opposed to a kill over the entire state of 21,995. Illegal hunting, despite vigilance of game wardens, is believed to have increased in recent years, due to economic stress and unemployment. During Winter months, when mule deer herd# are snow-bound, illegal hunters are said to take a terifTlc toll. Sheep grazing, which has increased enormously in the Modoc region during recent years, Is said to be another factor which is reducing mule deer herds. The effect of overgrazing by these animals is apparent in many localities, and reduces the food supply available to mule deer. Students of game management believe the problem Is more than local to California. Forked horns, they say, are the best breeding stock, and other states have found that it is not wise to kill off the breeding stock before they have had a chance to reproduce their kind. The Division of Fish and Game, Department of Natural Resources, has the power, upon consent of the governor. to close any area to huntfng where added protection is needed for game for such period as the director may designate. In this power, many feel is the only hope of salvation of mule deer until the present law is repealed.
