AMERICAN GAME BIRD SHOOTING 



Utah and western South Dakota to Alaska, along the 

 Yukon and Mackenzie rivers, throughout much of Brit- 

 ish North America, east as far as Manitoba. Another 

 darker race (Bonasa umbellus sabini) inhabits the 

 wooded country of the northwest coast region of south- 

 ern Alaska, to Humboldt County, California. 



RUFFED GROUSE 



All these forms are very similar in appearance, and 

 it is not unusual to find in one locality a bird which, in 

 color, may closely resemble those of some far distant 

 locality. The most that can be said for these races is 

 that they average lighter or darker as the case may 

 be than certain other relations, the center of whose 

 abundance may be far distant.
