American Big-Game Hunting 



great game preserves are those given in the list 

 below. In these reservations is to be found to-day 

 every species of large game known to the United 

 States, and the proper protection of the reserva- 

 tions means the perpetuating in full supply of all 

 these indigenous mammals. If this care is provided 

 no species of American large game need ever 

 become absolutely extinct ; and intelligent effort for 

 game protection may well be directed toward se- 

 curing through national legislation the policing 

 of forest preserves by timber and game wardens.
