SUPERVISORS OK
EITHER SEX DEER
FORARCHERS
Clare   County   Awaits   |*Fod
From Conservation
Commission
Clare County will be a happy
hunting ground for bow and arrow
fans in search of the state's famous
whltetail deer if the conservation
commission will listen to the county supervisors and and make it
legal to take either -sex. •
Supervisor Charles Cooper of
Clare succeeded on his second try,
in obtaining a Supervisor's 'resolution to make it just that much
p&$BVi J,o fill a deer license here.
hooper's first motion was offered*
on*, the first day of the session last
January. It was defeated by a close
9 to 10 vote.
A little salesmanship made the
motion appear more like a winner
if another vote could be asked, so
the following day the first motion
was rescinded, to clear it off the
•record, and another identical motion made by Cooper again.
This time the motion was carried by a vote of 12 to 7.
Many farmers, conservation men,
and sportsmen believe the taking
of either sex deer according to the
resolution would be a good thing
for both hunting and farmer interests. Now it's up to the Conservation Commission.
