. ANNUAL REPORT 
BOARD OF GAME COMMISSIONERS 
Harrisburg, Pa., January 5, 1922. 
To His Excellency, William C. Sproul, Governor of Pennsylvania : 
Sir: As directed by Act of Assembly, we the undersigned Members 
of the Board of Game Commissioners of the Commonwealth of Penn¬ 
sylvania submit to you a report covering the work of our Board 
during the past year, and for your information we attach the report 
of our Secretary covering in detail various phases of the work. 
From information gathered from many sources, as well as from 
personal observation, we are thoroughly convinced that the work 
of the Commission is in better condition today than at any time 
previously, and that the people of the Commonwealth in general 
are each year taking a more concerted interest in game and wild 
bird protection. The general movement throughout the Country to 
encourage outdoor recreation is partly responsible for this increased 
interest in our outdoors, with a corresponding increase in the num¬ 
ber of persons in our State who enjoy hunting. 
1921 LEGISLATIVE ENACTMENTS. 
The nine (9) acts signed by your Excellency during the past 
session of the Legislature as summarized in our Secretary’s report 
seem to meet with the approval of the sportsmen generally. We are 
especially pleased to note that practically all of the recommenda¬ 
tions of our Board last year were so favorably acted upon by the 
Legislature, and that the same also met with your approval.
