fishes beyond the narrow limits compatible with high-class sportsman- 
ship. 
7. A game-butcher or a market-hunter is an undesirable citizen, and 
should be treated as such. 
8. The highest purpose which the killing of wild game and game fishes 
can hereafter be made to serve is in furnishing objects to overworked 
men for tramping and camping trips in the wilds; and the value of wild 
game as human food should no longer be regarded as an important factor 
in its pursuit. 
9. If rightly conserved, wild game constitutes a valuable asset to any 
country which possesses it; and it is good statesmanship to protect it. 
10. An ideal hunting trip consists of a good comrade, fine country, and 
a very few trophies per hunter. 
11. In an ideal hunting trip, the death of the game is only an incident; 
and by no means is it really necessary to a successful outing. 
12. The best hunter is the man who finds the most game, kills the 
least, and leaves behind him no wounded animals. 
13. The killing of an animal means the end of its most interesting 
period. When the country is fine, pursuit is more interesting than pos- 
session. 
14. The killing of a female hoofed animal, save for special preservation, 
is to be regarded as incompatible with the highest sportsmanship; and 
it should everywhere be prohibited by stringent laws. 
15. A particularly fine photograph of a large wild animal in its haunts 
is entitled to more credit than the dead trophy of a similar animal. An 
animal that has been photographed never should be killed, unless pre- 
viously wounded in the chase.
