We regret to say, however, that with all this, not one state 
containing sage grouse has yet taken steps to permanently 
protect that species! And in some states the open seasons 
and bag “limits” are shocking. 
Why this wicked discrimination against the finest of all 
American grouse? 
THE PATH OF DUTY. 
There is much information that could be given about the 
distribution of sage grouse, and other grouse, and quail, in 
the various states; their habits, and their history; but what 
is the use? We are not writing academic bird-lore. We are 
trying to bring about the salvage of species that are on the 
toboggan slide and going with lightning speed toward Obliv¬ 
ion. We are trying to point out the cold fact that in these 
destructive times a species can be completely exterminated 
in a horribly short period.
