Hunter Taken on Odd Charge
A state trooper stopped an Italian driver in an open truck containing five undeclared deer carcasses near DuBois. The man claimed no party hunted them and said he shot all the deer himself, mistaken that each person in a six person camp could take six deer. He faces fines for four illegally killed does. Report says deer plentiful despite a first week slaughter of does. A weather day may reduce kills. Indiana county hunters returned with prizes including bucks and does from Clearfield, Elk, and Pike counties. The Frenchville Hunting Club also returned with a camp limit. Dr. Weitzel missed, per Indiana Bear Club note.
