for the use of the high country within 
the forest reserves where game is found 
as the vacationist, the camper and the 
lover of the-out-of-doors? 
Is it high time that we wake up to 
the fact that the cattle and stock in- 
erests do not own the country and can- 
not control it forever. 
Consider the part that the Eastern 
tourist plays in the prosperity of every 
little Western community each sum- 
mer. Do we want to turn the tide of 
this revenue away from us? Not on 
your great grandmothers’ tintype. Yet 
all of us know that it is the game and 
the fishing and not just the mountains 
themselves that bring these people out. 
HE non-resident hunter comes out 
for the game alone. He is not a 
game hog. He is a sportsman and he 
pays big for everything he gets. He 
will furnish practically all of the funds 
necessary to carry out an intelligent 
game program if in return we will just 
let him have a very limited share of 
the sport. Could anything be more 
fair? It certainly is poor business to 
kill off all of our game in any Western 
state just to show the Easterner that it 
belongs to us and is under state and 
not national control and that we can do 
as we damn please about it. Yet this 
is exactly what has been done in several 
Western states. The first thing we 
know, in just spiting the non-resident 
hunter, we will have our game all killed 
off and not have a bit left for our- 
selves. In the New Brunswick district 
last year each moose that was killed 
in the province by non-residents 
brought in $800. It would take a lot 
of prime steers to bring in $800 these 
days. We must take stock of our re- 
sources and make the most of them and 
we certainly are not making the most 
of them with some of the game laws we 
now have in force. 
If we were running a stock farm, we 
would just kill off our surplus each 
year. In a good year, we would be 
able to kill quite a number of animals 
but years would come when the condi- 
tions were so that we could not kill any 
at all. We will have to face the game 
situation in the same way. 
E can get help from all over the 
country to put our game situa- 
tion on a sound basis. 
bought and range can be provided and 
many other things done, but unless we 
Westerners give up our grouchy hands- 
off attitude and swing into line with 
something constructive on our own part 
in the way of earlier seasons, better 
game laws and a willingness to be a 
part of the big game conservation move- 
ment that is sweeping the country, all 
of the conservation societies in the land 
can’t save our game.
