WILD LIFE PROTECTION FUND 



RESULT OF THE 



GREAT DRIVE FOR SAGE GROUSE AND 

 PRAIRIE CHICKEN. 



We have spent six months of hard work, about $2,350 in 

 money, and about 15,000 pieces of mail in a great drive for bet- 

 ter upland game bird laws, covering 19 western states. The red on 

 this map shows what was won for sage grouse and prairie chicken; 

 and we now salute the victors. They have done something worth 

 while for the wild life of their states, and for Posterity. 



Idaho, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico and Washington have given 

 Sage Grouse long close seasons. Montana allows only 2 weeks open 

 season. Iowa gives both Prairie Chickens and Quail 5-year close 

 seasons, and Oklahoma similarly protects her Prairie Chickens and 

 Wild Turkeys. 



Strange to say, the hardest fight was in Iowa, where the vic- 

 tory included the quail, and vanquished a state game warden and 

 regiments of "sportsmen." 



The solid red lines bound the states which have given abso- 

 lute close seasons to the two species of grouse named above, and 

 in several states, to other upland game birds.
