The working group, which
was at the time discussing

gested that legislation should
provide for the exercise of

try-wide basis. It is essential,
the group pointed out, that
there should be the maximum
possible participation in the
planning process Of all in

Of planning policy.
It was also suggested that
provision be made in legisla-

gal steps necessary to enforce
such control; and that legis-

the setting up Of machinery

A record-breaking supply Of
game will make this the biggest
hunting season in history. And
you don't need gun to enjoy It
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-11-04


e ach autumn the fields and forests across the land
come alive with a heavily armed invasion force of
some 100000 men plus a growing number Of
women. They're enjoying tradition as old as
America - the hunting season.
To go hunting, this army will travel vast distances
and spend nearly billion dollars for guns, amrlu-
milton, field clothing, dogs, guides, food, lodging
and transportation Last year they paid almost
100000 for licenses alone. But it was worth it,
for they found much game than the first settlers
who landed on these shores.
Once wldlife was abundant only on the prairieS
and wetlandS. Contrary to what many fiction writers
have assumed, the great primeval forests in this
country were biological deserts. Only when these
were opened and plowed did wildlife multiply. It's
increasingly evident that the soil which produces
the most corn or the latest HerefordS will also
raise the most game When hunting pressure began
to catch up with supply in the last generation,
sportsmen organized to preserve and improve their
sport.
The Game "Harvest''
The private hunting club an institution that has
grown increasingly popular over the years, has con-
tributed much to the future Of the sport: members
often plant food and cover crops that are especially
attractive to animals National groups like the Izaak
Walton League Of America the National Wildlife
Federation and Ducks Unlimited sponsored conser-
walton legislation and each state and the Federal
Government has conservation agency. These are
stated by wdlife biologists whose job it is to regu-
late the harvest of game at the time autumns
other crops are harvested. It's also their response
bity to put more game in the field.
Ohio biologists, for example, are introducing new
game birds like the Reeves pheasant, native OF
Asia. Oklahoma and Alabama hope an Old World
Coturnix quail will thrive in their thickets. Wood
ducks, once very rare, are increasing because New
England biologist devised nesting box they could
use in the absence of natural site. Marginal lands
everywhere are flooded so waterfowl will have more
nesting grounds. Every state has some sort OF
wildlife program underway
The most rugged breed Of American sportsmen
are the almost two-million-pIuS waterfowl hunters
Last fall, more ducks poured down the four major
fyways than observers had seen in many years. The
crop looks good for this year too.
Another rugged breed are the coon-hunters -
they who wait for darkness to track their quarry
