GAME RESOURCES OF
PRAIRIE PROVINCES
HUNTING AREAS NOT
WELL KNOWN AT
PRESENT.
Large and Varied Resources
Are Protected Against
Dangerous Depletion.
A very goaeral impression exists
that the ganre'rosources of Canada are
confined to the heavily timbered pro-
winces pt the Eastern Dominion, which
is a long way from being the actual
truth. The attractions of the Prairie
Provincea to hunters and sportsmen
are not so well known because the
subservient pheaes of that territory
are largely overshadowed by the re,
sown it has achieved in agricultural
Production and because this area is
not to anything like as large an ex-
tent visited by sportsmen from other
countries. As a matter of fact few
areas have greater or more varied at-
traction for the sportsmen, certainly`
no agriculturally producing area. Very
many -contemplating settlers totally
:neglect this phase of Western life,
which not only offers them engrossing
sport when opportunity offers but 1s
to the farmer a valuable supplement
to his'•larder.
That the game resources of the
Prairie Provinces, whilst found in an
agricultural area and belonging in a
peculiar manner to the farmer, aro
sufficiently ' attractive bo lure sports-
men from elsewhere is evident In the
annual record of one representative
province in this regard. In Manitoba
last year 10,158 game bird licenses and
1,801 big game permits were issued
by- game wardens, end the returns
from these licenses- show that 527
deer, 389 noose, 48,232 prairie ehick-
ens, 28,028 partridge, 1,359 grouse, 752
wild geese, and 188,969 brant and
ducks were shot. The Government
revenue front these licenses amounted
to $31,533.
Varieties of Game and Fish.
Even in the more settled districts of
the Prairie Provinces (in foot, many
game birds increase with settlement),
the prairie chicken, partridge, and
wild duck are to be found in large
numbers. Though tbe wild goose
snakes merely a halt in the agricultur-
al areas on els way to audfrom the
big lakes of 'the far north, sportamen
and farmers always take a certain
toll in the spring and fall migrations -
In addition there are ptarmigan, plov-
er, woodcock, snipe, rails and coots.
All these are essentially the Property
of the settler, one of the assets of the
homestead, his sport as occasion of-
fers, and his provender...
The fishing Is scarcely less elabor-
ate and attractive. A tartlet list of
what the Prairie Provinces offer be
this line Includes pickerel, gold eyes,
pike, whitefish, lake trcut, perch and
a variety of trout. The !aloes and
streams In this wide area are so er-
cellently distributed that no farmer
is at any distance front a source of
ilea supply and this tri a regular article
of has diet. Fishing through the ire
in the winter enonths is equally prat
fltable and ensures a seasenalsupply.
Big Game in Alberta and British
Columbia.
As indicated in tea license figures
there is a variety of big game hunting
on the prairie. Moose are to be found
in most of the weeded deselects of the
Western provinces, remote from ace.
pal farming settlement, whilst deer
are to befound even where agricul-
ture ie beiug followed, and are plenti,
ful beyond these areas. In the winter
menthe coyote hunting frequently of-
fers entertainieg and profitable spore
Real big game shooting is offered by
the mountain section of. Alberta and
Britisb Columbia where the mounteln
sheep aud goat and the grizzly bear
abound.
The game resources• of the Prairie
Provinces are not only large and var-
ied, but precautions are taken against
a dangerous depletion. Bags are limit-
ed to within reasonable unfits, and
where it is found necessary re:latch-
