They have decided that, mendations of a few theoris! adequately protected their extermination is nil The latest comment on the under our notice is an editorial in situation the heading “Alaska’s Big Brown Bears," follows: During the past few years, and partic- ularly during the last year, much has been writtén about the big brown bears of Alaska by conservationists and sportsmen who have visited the Territory for comparatively short period Many of the articles regarding the life history & habits of the bears are of great interest and value to students of na- ture, while others appear to have been more or less sensational or in the nature of propaganda. The Alaska brown bears have had sufficient protection during recent sea- sons and are not in any danger of ex- termination, but in view of the fact that s0 much attention has been focused on these unique animals during the past year, and to give them the benefit of any possible doubt, added protection has been afforded these bears by a new regulation To correct the many unauthorized state- ments that have appeared regarding the measure of protection now being afforded these noble animals throughout the esti- mated 96,363 square miles of coastal lands and islands comprising their range, the. fol- lowing information and figures have been compiled from official records Areas where large brown bears have complete protection consist of 8534 square miles, or 9 per cent. of the total range and include Glacier Bay and Katmai Na- tional Monume: ; Unimak Island, which lies within the Aleutian Island Reservation Afognak Island; and four smaller areas. Although hunting is permitted in the fol- lowing areas there are within them many thousands of square miles of inaccessible country that constitute virtual sanctuaries for these animals In 40938 square miles, or 42 per cent, of the total range of the large brown bears, residents and nonresidents are allowed a bag limit of two animals in an open season from September 1 to June 20. During this ap- parently long season, however, the bears are in hibernation approximately six months. The areas coming under he limitation on season and bag limit consist of portions of the mainland, totaling 39.000 square miles, and 1245 square miles of the most thickly populated bear range on the north side of Kodiak Island, as well as the islands of Hinchinbrook, Montague, Hawkins, Yacobi, and Shuyak. A nonresident hunting large brown or grizzly bears is required to be accompan- jed by a regisiered guide.
