ing of the Game and Inland Fish
Commission ON July 20 same were
approved. The Commission did not
believe further regulations neces-
sary.
After a careful analysis of reports
from field officers and various other
sources, our Commission feels that
the hunters should have good sea-
son as general reports are to the eff
feet that the majority of species of
game birds and game animals are
plentiful in the covers at this time;
therefore, the general outlook
should be very good despite the
fact that forest fires in some sec
tions took heavy toll of wild turk
eys and rabbits. The fires were more
detrimental in Allegany, Garrett,
Anne Arundel, and Wicomico Coun-
ties and in those sections great dam
age was caused to ground-nesting
birds and small game animals. We
feel that we have passed through an
excellent nesting and breeding sea-
SON which helps to Offset unfavor-
able factors.
