American Association of Camera Hunters 



An Association of wild animal .photographers is being formed 

 for the purpose of promoting the interests of the new form of 

 sport popularly known as ''camera hunting." Its main object 

 will be to encourage the use of the camera in preference to the 

 gun, as a means of obtaining sport; but as it is intended that an 

 active assistance in securing the enactment and enforcement of 

 game and bird protective laws shall come within the scope of its 

 activities, it is hoped that it will be an effective means of dis- 

 couraging the unnecessary slaughter of the birds and other wild 

 animals of America. 



All interested should write to
