of 1 Arguing with success state deer herd By Joel M. Vance Department of Conservation It's hard toargue with success- but that doesn't mean there 'aren't plenty. of people willing to try, The 1973 deer season was the most successful in history, serving more than 200,000 hunters who, 3,229 took over 33,313 deer, 1972 an harvest. increase But there are twoprevalent criticisms of the Missouri deer management setup. One is that the season is too long, the other that "bucks -only" seasons lead to the killing of too many does which are left in the field.
Dean Murphy, now assistant Game Division chief for the Department of Conservation, has been working with the Missouri deer program since 1951- -for all practical purposes, he is the man who directed the program when it came of age. So it follows that he can explain the reasoning behind a nine or 10 season and the bucks- -only seasons. found that during a short two or three day season weather could become a factor and completely ruin the hunt. Even with the 1973 nine- season, heavy rains in southern Missouri during the second weekend undoubtedly hampered hunters. "We know that most deer hunting, occurs on weekends and so we've tried to give deer hunters two weekends in which to hunt.
Also, we know that many people take their vacations during deer season and that many employers make an employee take a full week. we tried to set the season for at least a calendar week so hunters wouldn't waste vacation time. far as the bucks -only ques tion is concerned, it's a standard game management technique for giving hunters a season without hurting the growth of the deer herd. Missouri's fine deer herd made its largest growth during years of bucks -only seasons, as did the herds of many other states, including Michigan and Wisconsin. know some does will be MRS.
HENSLER DIES; FORMERLY OPERATED NURSING HOME Word has been received of the death of Mrs. George (Dorothy) who, with her husband, operated F.1 Rancho Nursing Home Eldon, for a few years in the 1950's. Mrs. Naomi Cain, Olean, had a letter from the Henslers' daughter, Mrs. Mystic Garsow of Lake Ozark, advising of her mother's death on Dec.
30, 1973. She had undergone two major operations during the year. Mr. Hensler, an employee of the federal government, is at Maxwell Air Force Base, Montgomery, Ala. The son, "Little George," as he was familiarly known when the Henslers operated the nursing home, lives with his father and attends a computer school.
He is 19. No injuries listed in rear -end collision A Tuscumbia driver escaped injury in a rear -end collision at 7:50 a.m. Friday at the north junction of Ilwys. 63 and 54 near the Missouri River bridge at Jetferson City. The State Highway Patrol said southbound traffic suddenly stopped, and Ricardo A.
Ferro, 19, Tuscumbia, hit rear of a car ahead driven by Eugenia A. Whitthaus, 50, Steedman, who had stopped. No injuries were listed. Ferro, whose car was stolen more than two weeks earlier from the Westinghouse lot where he works nights, was driving a pickup truck, Word received of death of Mrs. Haase Word has been received here of the death of Mrs.
Maurine Haase of Windsor. The Haases resided in Eldon about 10 years ago while Mr. Haase was employed as a conductor on the Rock Island. Mr. Haase passed away after his retirement from railroad service.
Funeral services were held in Windsor Monday afternoon. killed during a bucks -only season. But the number of does during bucks -only hunting won't be close to what would be killed during even a short any -deer season. "We have reduced the length of the season from seven days early 1960s to only any deer two days in 1973 because of the rising number of hunters- -we've just about doubled the number of deer hunters in the past 10 years." Even though both the harvest and the number of hunters have doubled in the past decade, Murphy and Department deer biologists Wayne Porath and Ollie Torgerson feel that at least part of the state, the timbered Ozarks, could double its present deer herd. Michigan, which now takes about 50,000 deer a year, is embarked on a 10-year program expansion and deer biologists there feel the state could have an annual harvest of 200,000 animals from a herd of a million.
Missouri probably never would approach that, especially if conversion of woodlands to pasture land continues in the Ozarks and if the timbered draws and river bottoms continue to vanish in north Missouri. But at present, the deer herd is at an all time high, probably even eclipsing what was present when the first pioneers settled here, Pintos down Indians; tean game, close The California Pintos won a The varsity match was almost Tri -County Conference engage- an anti-climax to a tight prelimment Tuesday night at School of inary contest pulled out of the fire the Osage, leading all the way to by California 66-60.
