“It’s Livelier Than A Live Minnow!” 
exclaimed an old bass fisherman on first seeing this new 
floating, diving and wiggling bait at work. 
And when he had tried it out in a day’s hard fishing 
he agreed that it had brought him more strikes, and 
landed more bass, than any live minnow—or bucketful 
of ’em—he had ever seen. 
The great strike-getting qualities of the 
“Pflueger Surprise” Minnow 
are due to the fact that it can bo made to perform, and 
the great control exercised by the “man behind the rod." 
The “Pfiueger Surprise" floats until reeling in is 
commenced, the depth controlled by reeling speed. 
Coming in, its peculiar construction causes it to wiggle 
and dart about with the characteristic movements of a 
live minnow—arousing the combative instincts of the 
gamey bass. Stop reeling, and the bait rises to the 
surface. 
Made in seven color blends, as follows: 
No. 3970 Luminous Enamel Over All—Red Throat. 
No. 3980 Whito Enamel Over All—Red Throat. 
No. 3973 Wi.ite Enamel Be’ly—Blended Rainbow Rack—Red Throat.

This year do not fail to try out the

The “More Game” Movement 
Michigan Sets a Notable Example of What is Possible, if Sportsmen 
Will Work Together 
By Fred Wellman. 
E VIDENCE of rapid progress in the move¬ 
ment to preserve wild life in the United 
States and to further the propagation of 
game in this country was presented at the coin¬ 
cident “More Game” con¬ 
vention of the Michigan 
Wild Life Conservation As- 
M 
sociation and the Sports¬ 
men’s Show of the Saginaw 
Wild Life Conservation As¬ 
sociation at Saginaw, Mich . 
Feb. 23-26, inclusive. A fea-

ture of the sportsmen’s show was a special train 
to the exhibition by the Campfire Club, of Lans¬ 
ing, Mich. This organization inaugurated the 
sportsmen’s show movement in Michigan last 
year, as a means of educating public opinion in 
favor of wild life conservation. It backed up 
its beginning by a delegation to this year’s show, 
300 strong, staging a special costume parade in 
Saginaw that will long be remembered in sport¬ 
ing history. 
The wild life conservation association move¬ 
ment in Michigan received its initial impetus in 
1906, simultaneously with a national movement 
toward the conservation of national resources 
inaugurated by President Roosevelt. The rate 
of decimation of wild game at that time was 
such that there would have been not a horn left 
in the Wolverine state by 1925, at the utmost. 
This condition has been successfully combated 
by the Michigan Wild Life Conservation Asso¬ 
ciation, and its affiliated local branches through¬ 
out the state, until to-day the future of the 
sportsman in Michigan is extremely bright. Nat¬ 
urally, there is still a tremendous amount of 
work to be done, and certain salutary legisla¬ 
tion, notably a one-buck law, to be enacted, but, 
on the whole, matters are very satisfactory. 
In 1912 the people of Michigan were reluctant 
to admit a game warden to their premises. To¬ 
day they welcome him as the protector of their 
riparian rights and friend. In addition, there 
are to-day under the care of the Public Domain 
Commission of the State of Michigan some 700,- 
t.oo acres of refuge land, in which the propaga¬ 
tion and protection of game are being admin¬ 
istered with especial solicitude. 
Particular desire was expressed to have legis¬ 
lation issue which would prohibit the killing of 
dees and the shooting of more than one buck by 
a single individual during a season. Hunting, it 
was more strongly pointed out than ever before, 
should be considered primarily a sport, and in¬ 
dulged in sanely and rationally by all its follow¬ 
ers. Only in this way, it was shown could the 
handicraft of Nimrod be preserved to posterity. 
During the convention, addresses were de¬ 
livered on a number of important conservation 
topics by some of the most noted authorities 
in the United States. 
The message of these men was most gratify¬ 
ing. It dealt chiefly with results accomplished 
in the restocking of game regions that had been 
pretty well shot off during the wasteful past. 
Sufficient cover, it was shown, together with 
proper public sentiment, would bring back game 
of any variety and in almost any quantity. Ex¬ 
periences were related in the rehabilitation of 
various kinds of wild life, notably deer, quail, 
grouse, and even wild turkey. A most hopeful 
tenor was apparent in every discussion, and satis¬ 
factory evidence presented of future progress. 
A sensation of the meeting was Jack Miner, 
of Kingsville, Ontario. Miner is patron saint 
of outdoor life in the great northwest, and bird 
life in particular. With his own hand he fed 
several hundred bushels of corn, the product of 
his modest farm, to several thousands of wild 
geese he had taught to regard him as their friend, 
this winter. His appeal to the Michigan Wild 
Life Conservation Association was for support 
in this work. This was cheerfully granted.
