AMERICAN RANGE OF THE MOOSE 47 



game licenses were issued to non-residents in 19 18, 

 but of these only three were taken by other than 

 British subjects. The latest available report of 

 the Chief Game Guardian states that the number 

 of moose killed in the Province in 1917 was 1257, 

 while in 1918 the number killed was 1357. 

 Moose ^^are reported to be fairly plentiful in most 

 of the districts of the Province congenial to their 

 habits." (See Appendix, pages 362, 363.) 



The laws of Manitoba and Saskatchewan re- 

 quire all holders of big-game hunting licenses to 

 wear white clothing while hunting, as a safeguard 

 against shooting accidents. The game officials 

 state that such accidents have been very infre- 

 quent since these laws were enacted.

 The figures for 1919, based upon reports made 

 by license-holders to the Game Commissioner, 

 show about 300 moose killed in the State. "The 

 deer killed will approximate 20,000." In 1918 

 125 big-game hunting licenses were issued to non-
