The Buekv Report By JOELM. VANCE Information Specialist Missouri Department of Conservation JEFFERSON CITY The Missouri Conservation Department today issued a special Bucky report to the folk of Marble Hill, Mo. "Bucky is all right. He is happy in his new home and already has made many fine friends. He is getting only the best of food and care and sends his love.

He says he misses you Bucky is a deer not quite a year old who was found south of Marble Hill with a broken leg after he had been run over by a mower. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Runnels took the fawn into their home and arranged to have the broken leg set. Today, save for a scar on his right rear leg, Bucky runs and plays just like all the deer.

As Bucky grew, he became more a pet of the Marble Hill community rather than a one-family deer.

This is the time of the year when children and baby wild animals seem to come together like little girls and dolls. But game experts for the Missouri Department of Conservation advise tht despite the cuddly, helpless appearance of the baby animal, resist the temptation to pick it up and take it home.

In the first place, the baby almost certainly abandoned. Mothr rabbit or raccoon is nearby, watching the whole thing with apprehension. Secondly, a wild animal is a wild animal. Virtually all wild animal babies grow up with a complete set of wild instincts and are frustrated if kept in captivity. Such a i a ms 1 as raccoons, hile extremely interesting to watch, can be savage if thwarted and could remove part of a anatomy with their sharp teeth.

Best bet on finding wild animals is to tiptoe quietly away. Thomas Hill Lake is 140,000 northern pike richer than it was earlier this spring.
