Already been caught in them and their
hind lega broken, and one man in tho
Kettle Creek region of Potter county,
who walked into an unprotected and
practicaly unmarked trap, Is now suf
fering from blood poisoning duo to the
ugly wound niado by the jaws of tho
trap. Hunters says that if during the
great rush of hunters in tho woods in
tho 15-day deer season mon- are not
trapped and wounded it will bo a great
wonder.
Mon who havo been In tho dcop

Iujs Increased CO por cent over former
yoars, and that many of them nro bo
ing set and maintained in utter disre
gard of tho restrictions prescribed by
tho game laws. Many of tho men who
aro engaging in tho uso of tho traps
do not even know tho law, and others
who scorn to know that thoro Is n pro
scribed way to sot a trap and fortify
other hunters against It carry out the
precautions so indifferently that they
aro of llttlo help.
Grant Hoover, n recognized door
and bear hunter, who is tho owner ol
threo traps himself, declnres that bo
is ready any day to throw his traps
away if tho game authorities say so.
na he sees in them n terrible menace
to men and dogs, simply because those
who sot them pay no attention to tho
matter of llxing guards or danger no
tices. It is prescribed by law, ho
Bays, that an Inclosuro two feet high
bo maintained about a trap when it is
In position and set, bo that the hunt
er can discern it enslly at a good dis
tance, and not only savo himself from
coming in contact with it, but also
guard the movements of his dog that
it la also insured against accidents.
Two local bird hunters In tho Grny's
Hun district recently wero attracted
to n thicket by tho suspicious move
ments of ono of their dogs, and on
making an examination found a benr
trap in position, though tho stakos
forming tho inclosuro wero only four
Inches high, whilo there was no other
notico vlslblo except a three-Inch blaze
on a sapling, on which, in lead poncll,
wero written the words: "Dear trap."
Tho low stnko Inclosuro ran back
ngainst a log, at which n part of n
beef's head lay na bait. It was tho
meat that had nroused tho dog,
though, fortunately, tho animal hud
not stopped Into tho inclosuro, In
which evont ho would surely have
been caught, na tho trap waa without
so much na lta uoso showing abovo
tho loaves.
Tho nentimcnt of tho huntera In
this section is that all traps except
tho old-fashioned log trap should bo
prohibited. The Increaso in tho num
ber of bears has caused an increnso
in tho business of trapping, so that tho
woods aro full of tho steel-Jawed and
hidden traps, each ono n monuco to
tho safety of tho hunter and to tho
llfo of his dog. Thoro is somo likeli
hood of trapping becoming so widely
practiced that tho boars will becomo
scarce, thuB destroying a varloty of
gunning that now promises to bo
among tho best aport In tho Pennsyl
vania wooda. One trnppor In tho
IllockhouBo section of this and Tioga
county Is reported to havo trapped

dinary sized bear at the edgo of tho

thu bear la extra largo and tho hido
exceptionally lino $35 Is not an un
usual price to bo pnld for tho prize.
At this rato tho Dlock'iouso trapper
has mado at least $230 alnco tho Ben
son opened. There is also a senti
ment growing in favor of limiting any
one man from taking more than two
benra in any one Bcason.
Tho outgrowth of tho sentiment
against the steel benr trap will prob
ably bo a memorinl to tho state game
commission, with tho request that the
hidden trap bo outlawed and that only
tho old log trap bo permitted. Last
year two men in Tioga county, during
tho doer season, walked into nnd
sprang benr traps on thoir nnkles, and
ono ot thorn sustained a fracture of
thu bones. A man can generally ro
leaso himself from n benr trap, though
to bo wounded by ono of them when

aro caught in them their legB aro usu
ally broken, and shooting is always
necessary to end their misery.
