THE FUTURE 



The opportunities for integrating grouse management with other land use interests have 

 been discussed earlier in this chapter. Similar possibilities exist for other forms of wild- 

 life. Means of implementing such coordination are being developed. It is up to us to make 

 them work. The alternatives do not make a pretty picture. Either we manage our soils, tim- 

 ber and wildlife on a sustained yield basis through voluntary methods in a democracy, or 

 we waste them to the point where we become a second-rate "have-not" nation, or we force 

 restrictions on their use by government control, autocracy, communism, or whatever else 

 you may wish to call it. Which will we choose?
