Because of a recent contro-
versy and misinterpretation of
the game laws, this writer has
made his 200 acres inclosed
timberland, located in the
Thomas Hill league, near New
Ulm. Austin county, and held
under a grazing lease by Max
Wennenweser. a game resort,
wherein hunters are accomodat-
ed for pay, holding a permit
and w’ho pledge themselves that
they will cooperate with the
state game department in the
enforcement and upholding of
the game laws of the state. For
the protection of the qualified
hunters and for my own good,
I have applied to the proper
authorities for a “Shooting
Preserve License.” Anyone
hunting, shooting, or trespass-
ing in the above described pre-
mises without a written permit,
renders himself liable to prose-
cution and will be dealt with
accordingly, without fear or
favor. Unless the landowners
cooperate, the fine supply of
deer, including does, will dwin-
dle dawn to a minimum, be-
cause of promiscuous shooting
