Nature Stays More Game Than Man

NAuAC d SdU1C
Recent Investigations to discover why game birds are
decreasing in spite of protective laws and restorative
measures reveal a terrific gauntlet of death in modern
nature beside which the sportsman's gun is but a puny
peril. They emphasize the urgency of an immediate new
trend in conservation work.
Gardiner Bump. heading an incomplete survey of the
ruffed grouse situation in New York state, has reported
that out Of IA nests observed eight were broken ur
before the eggs Matched. OF the so chicks leaving the
nests only "a survived the inroads of natural enemies two
months later, and these faced a winter shortage of food
and probable helplessness against predators.
A partial study of breeding grounds in Montana, fire.
quented by wild ducks and some pheasants and Hun
garian cartridges, disclosed almost total mortality among
the eggs and young because of predatory animals.
A summary of the investigation by the quail fellow
ship Of the University Of Wisconsin into the dangers
faced by wintering quail revealed an appalling loss among
all coveys observed except the few that were able to find
corn for SuStenance.
Apparently in no two sections are the same predators
found to be the worst evil. Hawks and owls destructive
in one field are discovered to be benefactors in another
because of their preying upon worse predators.
This presents a situation which OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
tionists can not fight alone. Since each territory presents
a different problem, it is obvious that every farmer and
landowner must be given some definite incentive to join
actively in restoration work, if game is to be preserved
outside of refugees, and if the American system of free
shooting is to prevail in its widest sense.
