S. De- partment of Agriculture, in report- ing on its yearly game census on the National Forests of the country. It | states that the big game population has inc sed from 693,000 in 1924 | to 2,100,000 at the beginning of 1941 In the Western States about three- fourths of the big game make their home all or part of the year in the National For “While man; of the States in the past few years have undertaken to @ hold down deer and elk populations | lon concentrated areas,” the Forest Service says, “there is no indication that a decrease in the total number | |of animals has occurred. In fact, a:v |nine per cent gain for the country |as a whole is recorded from 1940 to 1941. In many places hunting is not {adequately harvesting the big game crop.” The big game animals in the Na- tional Forests include: Deer, 1,800,- 000; elk, 154,000; black bear, 63,000; antelope, 20,000; mountain goaf, 19,- 1000; bighorn, 9,600; moose, 7,500, and grizzly and Alaskan brown bear, 14,800, Animal Value The Forest Service gives an ap- proximate value to the big game and wildlife and fish resources on |the National Forests of Continental | United States and Alaska at a hun- |dred million dollars. It estimates \that 714,000 big game hunters and 1302,000 small game hunters, 12,000 trappers and 2,636,000 fishermen used the Forests last year. planting 224 million fish in the | streams and lakes and ponds of the | National Forests last year. Game refuges—of which the Na- tional Forests contain 677—are no | longer considered a penacea for all problems of wildlife management, the Forest Service says. The atti- tude of State and Federal game of- fici is tending toward more flex- |ible management. Hunting is used to | keep game numbers in line with the feeding capacity of their ranges and |the result is not only better and |healthier animals, but increased human use of the asset. { Too Many Animals | “It has been learned that increas- | ‘uu, concentration of game animals | often the surest method of ex- terminating the population.
