Mr. J, R, Jacobson 
c/o Central High School 
Superior, Wisconsin 
 
Dear Mr. Jacobson: 
 
I have yours of the 20th, together with another copy of the question- 
naire you sent out. The questions referred to can perhaps be best 
answered by the members of the committee who reside in the northern 
deer country.    Not having been in diredt contact with people in the 
deer country, I am hardly in position to comment intelligently. 
 
Regarding the opinion of last year's deer shooting as it appears to 
me to prevail in the Milwaukee area as well as in other sections of 
the State where I visited, I would conclude that the farther North one 
goes the more opposition there seems to be to last year's shooting 
program. In the Milwaukee area I would judge that the people as a 
whole, especially the hunters, are entirely satisfied with last year's 
shooting program. 
 
If 105,000-deer were shot last fall, then it is likely that this number 
of deer will again be offset by the new fawns that will be born this 
spring. The question then arises as to whether a buck-doe shoot would 
not again become necessary to prevent starvation in the event we should 
again face a severe winter. 
 
I believe one of the most important things for our committee to do is 
to try to find ways and means to save the existing cedar swamps and 
the other feed that is still available. I further believe that efforts 
should be made at planting more young cedar trees in the browsed-out 
areas. In order to accomplish such a program I believe it is going to 
be necessary to protect such new stock, or to hold down the deer popu- 
lation during the next few years until such young cedars can properly 
get started. 
Best regards. 
 
HCK:E-L                                            Very truly yours, 
 
P.S. I am indeed sorry that I will be unable to attend the meeting 
in Ladysmith because of transportation difficulties, and because of 
an impotant engagement that I cannot sidestep. I understand that 
the Conservation Department has ample space for a meeting in their 
own property at Wisconsin Papids. This sity has fairly good rail 
service and perhaps Mr. Feeney sould be persuaded to transfer this 
meeting to Wis. Rapids, and which location, I believe, would also be 
easier to get t& y thosej embers of the committee who come from 
                     E YOUR AREHOUSE AS YOU 00 YOUR BANK
