HUNTING. 



Firearms are permitted in National Forests, and big game may still 

 be found in the more secluded parts of the mountains. Predatory 

 animals, such as mountain lions, coyotes, and foxes, can be hunted at 

 all times of the year. Other species of wild life are largely protected 

 by the State game laws, copies of which may be secured from any 

 forest officer. Licenses for hunting and fishing must be procured 

 from the proper State officials. All forest officers are special game 

 wardens and cooperate with the State in the enforcement of the game 

 laws. 



The Forest Service is taking action to protect and increase song 

 birds, and many bird houses have been built by rangers in suitably 

 located and protected places. Your cooperation in protecting our 

 "feathered friends" will be appreciated. 



FISHING. 



Colorado boasts of more than 500 lakes and 6,000 miles of streams 



in which there is good fishing, and there are many fine fishing waters 



on the Holy Cross Forest. The planting of young fish by the Forest 



Ser\'ice, in streams and lakes not naturally stocked, has added much 



to the fishing possibilities. Thousands of trout iry, many of which 



come from the State hatchery at Glen wood Springs, are placed in 



the waters of the Forest each year, thus assuring keen sport to the 



angler. 



SUMMER HOMES IN THE FOREST. 



In addition to the many camping and recreation grounds on the 

 Holy Cross Forest, which are free to the public, there are numerous 

 attractive building spots for the summer-home enthusiast. These 

 may be found in beautiful Glenwood Canyon, or, if one desires to go 

 into the wilder parts of the mountains, at Beaver Lake, 6 miles south 

 of Avon; near Piney Lake, 14 miles northeast of Mintum; or at Elbo 

 Lake, 7 miles north of Glenwood Springs. Information regarding 

 permits for summer-home sites will be furnished gladly by forest 

 officers.
