84 NATIONAL FOREST MANUAL GRAZING. 



Lands within the bird refuges shall be administered by the Forest 

 Service as other National Forest lands, but such special protective 

 measures shall be adopted as may be necessary to carry out the 

 purposes of the refuges. 



The Chief of the Biological Survey will inform the Forester what 

 special conditions he considers should be observed in each of the 

 various refuges. 



On the approval of any special conditions the Forester will inform 

 the local forest officers thereof. 



In case of violation of the regulations of the national bird refuges 

 coming to the knowledge of forest officers, they will take prompt 

 steps to procure prosecutions for such violations. 



Notice to the public which the Chief of the Biological Survey may 

 desire to have posted will be prepared in cooperation with the For- 

 ester, who will forward them to the proper local forest officers for 

 posting. 



The Chief of the Biological Survey and the Forester will cooperate 

 in the selection of any additional areas within National Forests 

 which may be desired for bird refuges. 

 State Game Preserves. . 



State game preserves are created by specific acts of the State or 

 Territorial legislature for the purpose of protecting game animals. 

 Such acts apply to all lands embraced within the described area 

 including public lands of the United States, unless they conflict 

 with acts of Congress. The killing of game in violation of the act 

 creating a State game preserve is a violation of the State or Terri- 

 torial laws, and offenders will be tried in the State or Territorial 

 courts. 



Authority of Bangers. 



Forest officers have authority to arrest for violations of such laws 

 only after they have been appointed State or Territorial game war- 

 dens, or have been given special authority by the State legislature. 

 Cooperation with State Game Warden. 



When a State game preserve is established within a National 

 Forest, the district forester will communicate with the State game 

 warden, offering the cooperation of the Forest Service in the enforce- 

 ment of any regulations for the protection of animals hi the State 

 Game Preserve. Upon receipt of a request from the State game 

 warden that any special action be taken, the necessary instructions 

 will be issued to the forest officers concerned. 



If in the judgment of the district forester it is contrary to the 

 best interests of the Forest to comply with the State game warden's 

 request, he may refer the matter to the Forester. 

 Protected Areas. 



Protected areas may be established by the Forester within the 

 National Forests by the exclusion of live stock from limited areas 

 which are the natural feeding or breeding grounds of game animals 

 or birds. Since such areas must remain open to hunting under the 

 State game law, an effort should be made to secure the cooperation 

 of the State to prohibit the killing of game animals within protected 

 areas.
