Buck Deer Season To Open Monday; Good Luck Seen i The big game snooting marks- i manshin of 1,500 Nebraska hun ters will get the stern test be ginning one-half hour before sunrise on Monday, December 1 as the state's 7-day buck deer season gets underway in north western Nebraska. i The final decision of the Gam" Commission as to whether or not the season would actual- . ly become a reality was an nounced only two weeks ago. x uug'iD conditions in the open area threatened to force post ponement and even possible cancellation of both the buck and doe seasons. However, after a very careful examination of all factors in volved, the Game Department announced that the seasons would be held as scheduled. Weighing heavily in the deci sion were, U the extreme fire consciousness shown by hunt ers throughout the state, and 2) realization of necessity to harvest the deer to reduce de predation. The previously uncooperating weatherman then showed his approval of the decision by , blanketing the open area with several inches of snow. Even though moisture fell, hunters are urged to refrain from smok ing anywhere but in their ve hicles and to be on guard against accidental outbreaks of tut. 1 The bulk of the 1.500 hunters are expected to invade the open area of Banner, Morrill. Scotts Bluffs, Sioux, Sheridan, and Dawes counties during the first Tew days of the season. Only closed areas in the mentioned counties are Wildcat Hills Big Game reserve in Banner and Scctts Bluff counties. Chadron State Park in Dawes county, Walgren lake in Sheridan coun ty, and federal refuge areas in all open counties. All successful hunters will be required to take their deer to one of the seven checking sta tions named by Game Commis sion personnel. These are Lar sen's Feed Store in Bridgeport, the court house in Chadron, city hall in Cravvfor and court house in Gering. Harrisburg, Harrison and Rushville. Here the deer will be checked and sealed. During last year's hunt, 712 deer were checked at the sta tions. Crawford. Gering and Bridgeport received most hunter traffic, handling 199, 172 and 169 deer respectively. A total of 1,200 permits were issued last year. Deer hunters are reminded that rifles delivering less than 900 foot pounds of energy at 1C0 yards will not be permitted nor will full metal-cased or in cendiary bullets. Shotguns are also banned. All bucks taken during the nuni must De anuerea with, a fork on at least one antler. Hunting hours are one-half hour before sunrise and to one half hour after sunset. Nebraska's 7-day doe season begins on December 8 and ends on December 14. All of the coun ties open to buck deer hunting are open to doe shooting with the exception of Sheridan which is closed. All checking stations but the one located at Rushville will be in operation during the doe season. 7 1 5 ""L !) 1) n Wt ells i nturwnat I 4 jjl5 1 f vn ... : & I (yL RACKETS DRIVE The September drive of the In ternal Revenue Bureau special rackets squad which cracked down on racketeering and crooks with additional income tax as sessments of $12,500,000. brought to more than $160,000,000 the additional taxes and penalties that have been levied against underworld characters since the spring of 1951.
