Church St. Mandatory Tagging : Key To Deer By ROD D. MCCLANAHAN, Wildlife Biologist As the days begin to pro- gressively grow shorter and the trees begin to shed their red and yellow leaves, we are well reminded that winter is once again on its way, Along with this con tinual encroachment of winter comes the opening of the hunting season to Eastern North Carolina. With the deer and squirrel season well under way, it seems that, their is an abun dant supply of game, with many hunters having good success in bagging their elusive quarry. Most hunters report that the bucks appear to be in full rut, with many bucks having been seen trailing does. This years mild summer has seemed to produce a plen tiful supply of high quality food such as hickory nuts, acorns, beechnuts, and wild grapes. Such as abundant supply of high quality food will help to insure good populations of game species next year. Most of the deer that have been harvested so far appear to be very fat and in good condition. As many hunters may or may not be aware, those who are successful in bag ging an antlerred deer this year are required by law to tag the animal and report it to a big game cooperator agent. Failure to do so not only constitutes a violation of the state law, but also represents a lack of con sideration for wildlife management and conserva tion in North Carolina. This mandatory tagging regula tion is not intended to create EXCITED! Hangover McGloom, the hyperactive bassett hound above, ex presses her elation upon learning from her owner, Doreen Warren, that she has been awarded the coveted role of the "other dog" in College of The Albemarle's Lyceum Series production of "George M" which will be presented at the college on November 19 and 20. Mrs. Warren, who is enrolled in the pre-Business Ad ministration curriculum, reported that Hanogover was so thrilled at the pro spect of performing in the musical, she almost fully opened one eye!

Management Program an additional problem for hunters; but rather, it is designed to provide valuable data to wildlife biologists that will enable them to more efficiently manage the deer population. In past' years, big game hunters were only required to tag antlerless deer, bear, boar, and wild turkey. This regulation though, did not provide any accurate in dication as to the total deer kill throughout the state. Hopefully, through the cooperation of deer hunters in tagging and reporting all deer harvested, wildlife biologists will have a more accurate indication as to the total deer harvest. Such data will enable biologists to depict long term trends and thus assist in the establish ment of the best possible deer season for the sports men of North Carolina. Based upon periodic surveys of big game cooperators in the Albemarle area, all indica tions are that deer hunters are not responding as well as anticipated to the new tagging regulation. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission would like to remind hunters that tagging the deer is not enough to comply with the regulation. In order for the tagging regulation to be suc cessful, hunters must also report the deer that are harvested at a designated big game cooperator agent. Hunters may report their deer kill at any of the big game cooperator agents, which are designated by a yellow and black triangular sign displayed in the win dow.
