OPEN SEASONS IN CANADA. 
Saskatchewan—NO OPEN SEASON! 
Manitoba.from Oct. 1 to Oct. 21. % month 
Alberta. “ Oct. 1 to Dec. 21.2 months 
Next in order of destructiveness comes the bag limits 
prevailing in the various states. They represent various 
states of mind, ranging from moderation to wicked destruc¬ 
tiveness. 
These, also, will be listed in the order of their deadliness 
to the grouse. 
DAILY BAG LIMIT ON SAGE GROUSE, AND OTHER GROUSE. 
South Dakota—25. Two good-sized flocks! 
Colorado—20 for men, 10 for boys. Practically two 
broods for men, one for boys. Open season begins Aug . i — 
a double crime! 
Idaho—12. Beginning August 15! 
Nevada—10. Daily for seven months of the year. 
Nebraska (no sage grouse)—10. Pinnated grouse only. 
North Dakota—10. Where the species is almost gone. 
Utah—8. 
Wyoming—6. Beginning on Aug. i, with little chicks! 
Montana—5. 
Oregon—5. 
Washington—3 to 5. 
California—4. 
Now, I ask the men of the twelve states represented above 
to look me straight in the eye and answer this question: 
Are not your bag limits and your open seasons on grouse 
twin crimes against the species , and against your oivn boys ? 
I assert that they are; and if they are permitted to remain 
as they are after March 1, 1917, then the men of the West 
will be to blame for the extermination that will follow.
