Deer. Oct. 22-23-1932-5 miles East Grace, Bannock & 3daho.-alt. 7000 ft. I joined a deer hunting party who were hunting from a camp located in the Bear River range of mountains just east of grace, Idaho. This out range is a national forest and game preserve area, but the hunting was done just outside the boundary of the preserve. About twelve hunters operated from this single base and eight deer, five does and three fawns were taken out by this party alone, during the five day hunting season. The take was legitimate, and within the Idaho law, which permits taking of any sex or age. But I believe this procedure will very quickly deplete the deer population in this general region.
