Annual Pisgah National Forest Deer Hunt Cancelled By Forestry Officials ' The deer hunt in Pisgah National Forest for this year was called off last Thursday by federal officials due to controversy between the for estry and state conservation offi cials over the killing of doe deer. The hunt was scheduled to have .started last Monday morning, with j ;100 hunters from thirteen different 1 states making application to take : part, the federal regulations allowing j each hunter to kill one deer (either ' buck or doe) during the three-dav : period each hunter was allowed on I the reserve. j The controversy grew out oi per mitting does to be killed • during i the hunt and the fact that the state ihas a law \fhich prevents the killing of does or their transportation in the state. State laws have no effect in the forest, which is under government supervision, but officials had de clared that hunters transporting does outside the forest would be arrested under the state law. In previous years an agreement has been in effect between the fed jral and state authorities which al lowed a properly stamped and sealed doe deer to be transported. However, this year, J. D. Chalk, state commis sioner of game and fisheries, afte1' endeavoring to get the forestry offi cials to allow only the killing of bucks, publicly announced that any person caught off the national forest lands with a female deer would be arrested and prosecuted under the state law. The federal authorities called the hunt off, insisting that the hunt was held each vear only after it had been definitely "found that the deer popu lation in the forest was too heavy for the feed available, and further that the taking of dop or female deer : was allowed in an effort to keep buck and doe population on as even a keel as possible, and to guard against late mating and desultant undergrown fawns at the setting in of winter. An extensive trapping program is expected to be instituted immediate ly on the forest preserve, it has been announced from the office of J. H. Stone, freest supervisor, the trapped deer to be shipped to other pre serves.
