Jickman Hound >ome Deer Chaser 'ooch Belonging To Local Hunting Guide Runs Down And Kills Buck Traveling Too Fast To Be Shot Rains last week leaving suffient moisture on the ground for ogs to trail resulted in some fine eer hunting in Brunswick coun<f. One of the most interesting Lien events ropuiLcu xciauv^ i J the fine deer hound, belong-! lg to Tom Hickman of Southort. The animal trailed a large sur snag buck for a long distance | nd finally ran it down and killed This buck had not been shot t, wounded in any manner or as otherwise other than normal, t simply lost out in a long chase efore a fine dog. Captain H. T. Bowner, who has eretofore had some sort of a ood reputation as a marksman, )st his reputation entirely on nother hunt. He shot four times ,t a four snag buck and never ouched it. Tom Hickman killed a 5-snag uck and another I-snagger. This rith the 4-snagger, which his dog an down and killed, gives him bout a season's quota of deer.

Pointing out that there is now a great many hunters in the voods, and that a great many forest fires of the past have been laused by careless actions of 1 sportsmen, Mr. Mercer's appeal 1 vas directed mainly to sportsmen. ' He pointed out that any forest . fire of any size is potential of j iestroying much game and fish. For the sake of future hunting and fishing, said Mr. Mercer, it ' is as much to the interest of the taunter as to the land owner that forest fires be prevented. i ne extent mat xsrunswicK county forests have played in the carrying on of the war, and the profit they have brought to the cwners, is already well known. Practically all residents of the county are fully alive to the need 3f protecting the woods from tire. In addition to personally exercising caution they can be of much additional aid by promptly reporting fires to the nearest fire warden. Prompt control measures, when a fire first breaks out, may pre- > vent the flames sweeping over | thousands of acres of woods and IJ fields. Report all fires to the j wardens the moment they are dis- , covered. Follow' this up by doing ' your best to prevent the spread of the flames Until nelp arrives.
