Elkins Says Deer
Prospects 'Fairly
Good’ for Hunters
Deer prospects for hunters this
fail look fairly good, W. A. "Bud”
Elkins, game management supervisor
for the Fish and Wildlife Service,
said today.
The deer season opens Sept. 1 with
the bag limit two bucks.
Elkins said a brief survey show
ed the animals were not too hard
hit last winter except in the Icy
Strait region where severe weather
took a few more animals than usual.
Kills from wolves were rather
heavy in the Ketchikan area but
were not above normal around
Wrangell and Petersburg, he said.
This morning Sig Olson, wildlife
management biologist, left aboard
the service vessel Penguin for Ket
chikan where he will make a com
plete study of deer population, sur
vival and conditions in southeastern
Alaska.
Animals seems to be in good con
dition in the southern portion of
the first division, Elkins said.
The Penguin arrived in Juneau
this morning from the Pribilof Is
lands where it was stationed dur
ing sealing activities. It is Seattle
bound.
Aboard as passenger is Miss June
Eliason, who has resigned from
the Wildlife Service and will make
her home in Seattle.
