It’s a poor sportsman who shoots a doe (female) deer.” You don’t hear as many deer hunters express that opinion as you did a few years back because more and more hunters have a better under standing of game manage ment. But there are still a lot of hunters who feel that shooting doe deer is "un sportsmanlike.” Some hunters consider the business of shooting only bucks a noble sentiment. They consider it a matter of chivalry or honor. Others , recall years gone by when ~ deer populations were low and doe deer were protected to encourage growth of the herds. TIMES HAVE CHANGED But times have changed. Biologists know much more about deer management now than they did even a few years ago. Not only that, but in many parts of the country and especially in parts of North Carolina—the problem now is not deer, but too many. rt Shooting bucks and pass ing up the does may be a traditional ritual with deer hunters, but in some cases, it’s contrary to sound, scien tific deer herd management. Protecting doe deer is still one way to help increase the size of a herd that has not reached its potential size. But shooting does is also away of controlling deer herds that have gotten too large for their own good. DEER POPULATION HIGH The deer population in this ‘Sfate is the highest in recorded history. There are an estimated half a million deer in North Carolina. In the eastern part of the state, the deer population is so high that crop depredation is a real problem. Piedmont and foot hills counties, which had few ’’ ff any deer at the beginning of the century, now have hunt able populations as the deer herds have spread. Even in the western part of the state where deer herds have been growing more slowly during fhfe past few decades, there is evidence that they are now increasing more rapidly. The growth of the deer (Population is partly the result of restored habitat, and years of game management and protection paid for by sports i men. Deer stocking restora tion, projects have also had a hand in the spread of deer herds. Geter of the Ramseytown Community died Wednesday morning in an Asheville hospital follow ing a short illness. He was a native of Yancey County and a" retired farmer and coal miner. Surviving are six daugh ters, Mrs. Frank Mitchell and Mrs. Edd Hensley of Route 4, Burnsville, Mrs. Furman Tay lor and Mrs. Arthur Smith of Marion, Mrs. Jerome Smith of Charlotte and Mrs. Charlie Turner of Valdese; six sons, Troy, Deland and Cecil Honeycutt of Marion, Melvin Honeycutt of Lenoir, Thomas J. Honeycutt of Charlotte and Ricky Honeycutt of the U.S. Navy; three sisters, Mrs. Queenie Bell Randolph of Marion, Mrs. Naomi Ledford of Burnsville and Mrs. Vergie Stockton of Erwin, Tenn.; one brother, Biss Honeycutt of Route 4, Burnsville; 43 grandchildren and 30 great grandchildren. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. Friday in the chapel of Holcombe Brothers Funeral Home. Revs. Howard Whit son and Edd Davis officiated and burial was in the Honeycutt Cemetery. But in some parts of the state, the herds may be too large. Not only are they creating depredation prob lems for farmers, the deer themselves are often the victims of their own produc tivity. Among other things, in "some places, the deer may tend to be smaller and the bucks carry smaller racks. This is because there often isn’t enough food for so many, and in some cases deer may even starve. With so many deer living so close together, any disease that breaks out is likely to infect and therefore kill more deer. Several deer kills of this nature have occurred in North Carolina in recent years, and they are directly related to overpop ulation. NATURE’S CONTROL ♦ These limits (disease, lack of food and cover, predation) are all nature’s way of controlling animal popula tions, but often it’s a rather drastic control and it can result in wildly fluctuating populations. One year, you may have too many deer. Then disease strikes, and for several years, you may have very few deer. The shooting of doe deer in selected areas under certain conditions can help keep deer populations under control without causing these drastically high and low cycles. Hunting is a form of predation, and when either sex deer hunts are carefully planned and controlled (thru limits and length of season), the result is merely the harvest of the exqess deer that would either starve or die of disease anyway. Herds stay in balance with their habitat and hunting is almost always good year after year. USE’EM OR LOSE ’EM Put more simply, it’s a matter of ” using ’em or losing ’em.” You can’t stockpile deer like soybeans. Not only do carefully controlled either-sex deer hunts in special areas control the excess population and help maintain a more stable herd from year to year, these hunts also insure that the deer in these areas may be larger and certainly more healthy. The next time you think about the nobility of shooting only buck deer, consider the : mass of scientific evidence against it. Either-sex seasons, when and where they’re needed, are part of proper de«y, herd management <, And what’s good for deer has got to be good for deer hunters. - - BRIDGET BANKS Bridget Banks, one-year- r t , old daughter of Frank and Shelba Wilson was killed instantly in ua auto accident in Marion on Tuesday , night, January 27. Surviving in addition to the parents are the paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Banks of Burnsville; the maternal grandmother, Virginia Webb; and the step-grandfather, Jack Webb of Nebo; the paternal great grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Briggs of Mars Hill. Funeral services were held Friday at 2 p.m. in the East Fork Free Will Baptist Church at Metcalf Creek in Madison County. Revs. Garold Metcalf and Dale Banks officiated and burial was in the Austin Family Cemetery. MARVIE HENRY LILES Marvie Henry Liles, 72, of Burnsville and Miami, Florida died Tuesday morning, Janu ary 27, in a Black Mountain Hospital following an illness of 5 months.

Note Os Appreciation The family of Mrs. Addie Allen would like to thank each person for the beautiful flowers, the food, and each thoughtful deed that has helped us bear our grief. A special thanks to each church, Rev. and Mrs. Harlon Ram- Rev. Bert Styles, Dr. J.R. Hemphill, Clyde Styles and -Linda Morrow. We • also appreciate the kindness of the flower shops and Holcombe Brothers Funeral Home. W.L. Allen and family ©offeeGL. Coffee and politics are a truly democratic couple. A political coffee party is a tried-and-true means of get ting the constituency to meet the candidate. The ‘76 cam paigner might state his in dividuality by serving one of the new flavored coffees by R.C. Bigelow. A real vote swinger might be Case au Chocolate, dashed with sweet chocolate. Or maybe support will build for coffee accented with mint, cinnamon or an isette. Or the popular fruit flavors, apricot and orange and-spice. Whatever choice, they’re all winners!

Taken by 144 4-H mem bers from nine through 19 years old, they’re part of a National 4-H Photo Exhibit scheduled for national and regional 4-H events. The exhibit is sponsored t by Kodak, which also spon sors the 4-H photography project through which many of the exhibitors learned the rudiments of picture taking. One of these is Ardythe Ruebush, 18, of Deming, N.M., whose pho tograph of two ducks at Seven Sea World in San Diego was selected to re present her state in the show. J "My father is an avid** amateur photographer,” says Ardythe. Capturing some of this enthusiasm, she enroll ed in the 4-H project and soon became so proficient, she was named a state photography winner in 1974. Another state winner that year, Daryl Custred, 19, of Goodsprings, Ala., hit the jackpot: all four photo graphs selected from Alabama for this year’s 4-H exhibit were his. Dem onstrating diversity of in terests, they showed iris, boats, a mill and a puppy i gazing over its owner’s | shoulder. Daryl’s motivation for | picture-taking echoes that I of many other young photo- I graphers: “I take pictures,” I he says, "because of the 1 personal satisfaction I get I from a good photc graph— I especially one I made my-1 self.” Mary Streett, 14, of* Fallstown, Md., likes picture *. HMti JEtICTL- ' taking for the memories it helps her save. For example, Mary has a baby cousin named Suzy who lives in Alaska. So when Suzy came to Ocean City, N.J., for a vacation, Mary got out her camera and snapped away. Lots of other people will remember Suzy as a result: one of Mary’s photographs was selected for the 4-H exhibit. Says Mary: “I like tak ing pictures that are differ ent and have a story behind them, pictures that arouse, your interest.” Taking such snapshots often requires patience and planning. To get what he thought was the best photo graph of a windmill, Tony Cocke, 17, of Wichita, Kans., viewed it from different distances under various light ing conditions. Finally, he decided to photograph it at sunset. Tony’s perception was rewarded when the picture was selected for this year’s 4-H Photo Exhibit. i Other photographs in the show demonstrate tech niques 4-H member! hoping to have their work selected for next year’s event are using.. .hold the camera steady...take lots of snap shots and then select the best...keep your camera handy for unexpected op portunities... include a center f BIRTH D€f€CTSl RR€ FOR€V€R. unless vou jfcL H€IR 1 KJjmRRCH | ypimcsj )ited of interest...keep back grounds simple...photograph action at its height...and try different camera angles for variety.
