YOU SHOOT AT
Doer season opens next Thursday,
September 1 and- lheJ Klamath
Sportsmen' Association has taken
one of tho Safety First stands In
Its advlco given out this week, es
pecially to hunters who will try
for their doer this season.
"Beo what you aro shooting bo
toro' you pull tho trigger ot your
rifle be suro it is a door, not a
human being. After you are sure
It Is a doer, look again and notlco
If It is a buck or a doo. Be sure
beforo you fire, for If it Is a hu-1
man being, and you mistake the
movement In tho brush for your
quarry satisfy yourself beforo that
fatal shot rings out. If Is better
to let an animal get away than kill
a person and rcgrot It for all
tlmo to como. Remember that tbo
law allows only bucks to bo killed
whoso prongs fcshow and a heavy
punishment awaits the slayer of a
doe." i "
.Hunters and campers aro askod
to bo true sportsmen In tho obser
vance of flro rules in the woods.
Tho sportsmens' association asks
every person to be sure to exting
uish ovory omber of their tire when
brooking camp. Pour water on tbo
ashes to mako euro! Fire losses in
tho forests aro enormous yearly and
In this country, the futuro prosper
ity, to a groat extent, lays in pre
venting fires.
Wbcn tho doer season, as well
as tbo wild fowl season, opens, a
largo number of deputy gamo and
fish wardons will bo on tho Job all
over tho county so It will be policy
for any hunter to bo suro that his
llcenso is on his person at all times.
Ono doputy gamo warden has an
nounced that during tho deer sea
son, bo Intends to do actlvo patrol
ling In tho deer regions to seo that
no game hog violates tho kill at
lowed and It ho finds out that by
collusion, ono huntor has exceeded
tho limit and has given the extra
kill to another mombor of tho par
tythat typo of "hog" will bo bis
quarry.
1 Tho Klamuth Association asks
tho hunters to rospec their request
about making euro of, the object
which tho rifle is pqintod at beforo
firing. As a lato Instance, Taes
any ot this week, a blacksmith
hunting dcor near Eugene saw a
"flash" In tho brush and tired. With
a self satlstiod mood as to his prow,
ess, ho walked over to his kill. In
stead of a deer, a man lay there,
torn to ploccs by a soft nosed bul
let. Observo "Safety First Rules"
