Hunting : Page 307


To put away his bow after he has made his kill should bepart of the creed of the bow hunter. It is a violation in Wis-consin to kill another deer "for the party," although there is

nothing to prevent the resident archer from carrying his bow,for the season is usually open for some other game such asbear.

The non-resident bow hunter at this writing is permitted toshoot only deer on his bow and arrow license, and he wouldtherefore have no legal right to carry a bow after tagging hisdeer. Many riflemen make a practice of hunting for the party-after tagging a deer, and it is not unusual for one man to killall the deer for his party. This practice by the riflemen is over-looked by the Conservation Department, but at the start ofbow hunting several arrests were made of bow hunters whohad killed too many deer or had taken a deer not killed bythemselves. I regret that now many bow hunters in Wiscon-sin continue to hunt after having tagged their deer.
