Bow hunters must pro-cure a hunting license—residents $3.15, non-residents $20.00—and a special archer's permit which costs $2.00. If anyarcher elects not to hunt during the special season, he neednot procure the archer's permit to hunt during the firearmsseason. There were 5680 archery permits issued in 1951 dur-ing which 37 deer were killed. This poor showing is attrib-uted to the fact that only a few of the 5680 hunters hadever shot a bow. A few technical violations were reported,sins of omission rather than commission. No accidents werereported. The only bow regulation is that cross bows maynot be used.
