Box 701. Scranton, Pat, 



It is greatly to the credit of the sports- 

 men of South Dakota that the game law, 

 and particularly the section designed to 

 protect prairie chickens, is being rigidly 

 enforced throughout the State. Sportsmen 

 long ago realized that peace officers and the 

 people generally could not be depended on 

 to enforce the game law. They therefore 

 took up the work themselves, with such 

 success that illegal shooting has become as 

 rare and is considered as dishonorable as 

 any other infraction of law. 



Pot hunting has about ceased, game is 

 becoming more abundant, and all good 

 citizens are delighted over the improved 

 conditions. 



R. F. Patterson, Wentwort'h, S. D. 



I notice an increased number of birds and 

 small animals in this vicinity and all seem 

 less wild than formerly. God bless your 

 work in protecting our furred and feath- 

 ered friends.

There are plenty of quails and grouse 

 here. They are but little hunted. Ducks 

 are abundant on the ponds. Our fields are 

 alive with woodchucks. I shot 23 in 6 

 weeks.
