Foreword 
PRACTICAL game _ restoration 
program. In the following pages of this booklet 
are given suggestions and helpful ideas derived thru 
years of experience by specialists on the develop- 
ment of attractive places for Waterfowl, Fish, 
Muskrats and Upland Game Birds. How to propa- 
gate natural food and cover plants there-by improv- 
ing the Hunting on both land and waters and better 
the Fishing in ponds and streams. 
Like the Indians of old who wan- 
dered over prairie, mountain and 
stream in search of food to the better 
hunting grounds, so do the wild life 
migrate in search of the kinds of foods 
they like. Similar to the human being, 
they like a change of diet or a variety 
of foods, some species of wild life 
prefer certain foods more than others as the Mallard 
Duck searches for the Wild Rice so does the Canvas- 
back Duck scan the water for Wild Celery. Again in 
comparison, as the people populate the rich lands of 
Illinois near the great blue waters of Lake Michigan, 
against, the sandy deserts of Arizona. Why?  Be- 
cause in the land of plenty they find contentment, 
plenty of food, shelter and enjoyment with the least 
exertion. It’s the same with wild waterfowl, fish 
or game. Great numbers will congregate where they 


find a plenty of their favorite foods, 
good cover, greater protection and 
the easier feeding conditions. 
oe: 
SUPPOSE! 
Just suppose you had a pasture with sufficient feed 
growing to keep one hundred cattle throughout the 
season. 
Suppose instead of one hundred that you turned 
one thousand head in there to feed. 
What would happen? 
They would either starve or break out and wander 
into other fields where food is more plentiful. 
IT’S THE SAME WITH WILD DUCKS 
OR OTHER GAME 
When the Wild Ducks stop on your waters or the 
game at your preserve and find little or no food, 
they go on their way in search of 
better feeding grounds, but if they 
find plenty of their natural foods 
growing there you can’t drive them 
away. 
To have the best of Hunting or 
Fishing all that is necessary is to 
start a growth of their favorite foods.
