GUN CLUB ADOPTS
RESOLUTIONS
DUE TO HARD WINTER COYOT-
Es HAVE BECOME MORE VICI.
GUS THAN is USUAL - LAW
CHANGES.

Coyotes kill more big game than
hunters do, says State Game Warden
r. e. Thomas, who visited southern
Idaho a short time ago in the istes-
ests of the departments campaign
to exterminate predatory animals and
birds. A special staff, he stated, has
been employed to operate in all Sec
lions of Idaho which are at the mer-
cy of coyotes, cougars, wolves, mag
pies. and other predatory creatures.
In some sections, he stated, re-
ports are that livestock is being at
tackled in alarming numbers, and
since this winter has indications Of
being a severe one, unless steps are
taken to cope with what might be
by cougars. and wolves, heavy loss
TO herds may be the result.
The Central Idaho Rod and Gun
Club with headquarters at Challis, has
formulated resolutions which it is
believed will protect and propagate
the game resources or this SectlOn,
and these resolutions will be sent to
cur representatives in the coming
session of the legislature, with the
request that they introduce bills a.
long the lines suggested in the reso-
buttons.
The local Gun Club is a live organ
ization which feels that their opinion
on local game conditions should be
given first considerable by the law
makers and the game department
The purpose of this organization is
solely for the protection and propa-
cation of our game resources and it
is on these grounds that the Club lays
claim to an attentive hearing and ia
vorable action upon the resolution.
