   European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 20, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Friday september 20, 19b5 the stars and stripes Page 25 outdoor adventures writer Calls yearling column slanted yearling Roebuck Hunting opportunities and game trophies were  in this column aug. 9. I encouraged american Hunters to be willing to Hunt inferior yearlings when requested by forestry officials even though these Hunts Don t yield Large trophies. I pointed out the shooting of selected yearlings and older animals is part of Germany s wildlife manage ment system and when we refuse to go for the year Ling we miss an Opportunity to Hunt. I be had one letter in response to the article. It s from James Waddell chairman of the Hunting com Mittee at the Munich Rod and gun club. James writes the aug. 9. 1985, outdoor adventures column by Mark Swearngen contains some valid Points but pre sents a slanted picture of the situation. Many Hunters new and experienced have serious doubts about the Wisdom of including a yearling on the game bag limit card. This measure which was not mentioned in the article is widely perceived As a Hasty and ill consid ered innovation which was taken without consulting the majority of Hunters. The reaction among private lease holders and for Estry officials that i have spoken to in Bavaria is one of disbelief that Hunters would be assigned to Hunt a yearling Only. Most agreed that yearling harvesting should be handled on a discretionary basis and that no specific measures were required. The implication that the majority of americans arc after Only the major trophies is totally foreign to my experience. The More than 40 american Hunters that i have met during five years of Hunting in Ger Many have collections with Only a very modest num Ber of Good trophies and More than a fair share of yearlings. The latter it should be noted were taken As the Opportunity presented itself in accordance with German Hunting tradition and without the compulsion of a mandatory yearling quota. As a group these american Hunters Are Welcome and highly regarded by their German counterparts and one would Hope this is the Case in other parts of Germany. If Hunter participation is Down according to the unnamed Hunting and fishing coordinator is can strongly suggest that other circumstances May apply. Mark Swearengen to remove any doubts about my own views at least 20 percent of the trophies in my Small collection arc yearlings. Most were taken not because they were yearlings but because they showed Clear signs of parasitic infection such As hot Fly. One of the other trophies is a 4-to-5-year old six Point Buck weighing about 130 Grams and thus a clearly conservation trophy. The message is that conservation is something applied not just to  i appreciate the letter and find James opinion generally supports my own position. Most of us know the Usa eur game bag limit record includes a Tab for yearling Roebuck. A portion of the annual wild game quota for the . Forces consists of yearling animals. When we Book Hunts on state land some forestry officials do ask that we restrict shooting to inferior yearling Bucks. The yearling Tab is intended for these Hunts. When we refuse to Hunt under these Circum stances we pass up a Hunting Opportunity. I also know Many american Hunters who love to Hunt Roebuck of any age. So i m curious to know Why some have serious doubts about the Wisdom of including a Carling on the game bag limit  yes selective shooting As a conservative practice applies to Roebuck of All Ages and i be always regarded most Hunters As conservationists. Equally important to the conservation motive is that Hunting be fun. And the Only Way to have fun is to go. Waidman Sheil.
