The man, whose name Dufresne did not divulge, was hunting yes- terday with a friend. The friend called, “Here comes a buck,” just as a deer broke through the brush. The hunter shot, but the charge brought down a doe which was preceding the buck through the woods and the buck escaped. Then arose the problem of whether to leave the dead doe there in the woods to spoil or to dress the animal out, bring the carcass back to the city and face a fine for violation of & game law, plead- ing only that the shot was an acci- dent. The hunter chose the latter al- vernative. Arriving in Juneau with the doe, he gave the deer to Ark- eta’s Children’s Home for meat and reportéd the incident to the game commission; “I wish that all hunters con- ironted with the same problem’ would do the same thing,” Dufresne ieclared today. “A certain number of does are bound to be killed by iccident every hunting season and -. much better that the meat be wed.
