WAR SAVING GAME
European Conflict Takes Sports
men Out of the Field.
Increase in the Price of Guns and Am.
munition Makes Hunting a
Rich Mans Sport.

Despite the war the permanent wild
life protective fund is continuing its
battle to save American game from
extinction, writes Frederic J. Hask-
in. War is a benefit to wild life in
that it takes many hunters out of the
field and has raised the average price
of guns and ammunition about 90 per
cent, making hunting what it is rapidly
becoming in this country, anyway-a
rich mans sport.
The wild life protection fund, in Its
literature and the lectures of its CAM
paigning trustee, William T. Horna-
day of the New York Geological park,
is seeking to spread the idea that the
sportsmen must act to save the game,
that they are robbing themselves and
future generations if they do not. This
idea has been well set forth in a pos
ter of the New Mexico Game Protec.
ton associations, which have set out
with determination and success to save
the wild life of that state. The poster
Is as follows:
'Your grandfather hunted elk and
buffAo until there were none.
You are hunting deer. There sfilf
are some.
"What do you want your son to
hunt? Rabbits?'
The average New Mexican reading
that sign knows that it is true. He
has heard from the old-timers what the
abundance of game used to be; he sees
in a flash the long generations of ruth
less destruction, the inevitable end
when the mountains where he loves
to hunt will be lifeless.
Another difficulty in the path of
game preservation lies in the opposi-
ton in congress to federal action in the
matter. Nothing but federal action
saved the wild fowl. By reason of the
migratory game law, drawn by gov
eminent scientists and providing pro-
lection for waterfowl from Canada to
Mexico, they are now believed to De
safe for hundred years.
The fact which the average sports
species of wild game is reduced to
certain point it cannot come back"
no matter how much it is protected.
For example, in 1884 the buffalo hunt
ers said and believed that there would
always be plenty of buffalo. In 1885
they went out to hunt them and there
was none 1t took them two years to
realize the fact that the buffalo was
practically extinct. Wolves and hunt
ers DESTROYED the remnant much faster
than it could breed.
OF course the buffalo has been over
worked as an object lesson in game
protection. AS opponents of protec-
tive measures have pointed out, the
buffalo could not have survived civil
lzation except in very limited numbers
anyway.
But this is not true of deer, elk and
mountain sheep which inhabit the high
mountain ranges that will always be
wilderness. There is only one measure
which can save them, and that is the
provision of game refugees in national
forests where these animals can breed
unmolested, and the increase restock
the surrounding country.
