Nation of Nimrods
2,OOO,O 900 Hunters

This II a nation of nimrods. There
are 1000. 900 hunters in the United
States. according to h chief United
States game warden in the biological
survey. United States department of
agriculture. This estimate was made
from reports on the number of game
licenses issued by the various states.
In 1919. $500. 900 state licenses Were
issued. and in addition Ii IL estimated
that $500, 600 hunters are exempted IN
der various state provisions. The re-
turns TO tbs states from licenses was
approximately $500. 900. all OF which
was expended by the states in admin
istration of state laws for the protec-
tion of game. This sum permits the
employment OF approximately 1000
salaried state game wardens and 600
fee wardens. The congressional APP
preparation for federal game-warden
service for protection of migratory
birds is sl42.5 500. which permits the
employment of only 20 salaried ward
ems.
At its recent meeting in ottawa the
International Association of Fish,
Game, n Conservation Commissioners
adopted a resolution calling for the is
suance Of federal licenses for hunting
migratory birds. h recommendation
called for licenses In the form of
special stamps to be issued by post
masters and attached to state licenses.
II was estimated hat the revenue from
such licenses would mount to between
81, 600. 600 and 1000. 600. which could be
used for the protection of game.
