Season Approved
At Bridge Lake

The South Cariboo Registered
Guides Association met in the Roe
Lake-Bridge Lake school house on
May 3 and discussed the advisavility
of reducing the moose population in
southern Cariboo by declaring an
open season for cows.

The speakers were Pat Martin and
James Hatter, provincial game biol-
ogists. Inspector Robertson,. game
commissioner from Kamloops and
game warden W. Fenton from Clin-

After listening to the informative
talks by Messrs Martin, Hatter and
Robertson a resolution was unani-
mously carried recommending that
the Game Commission should declare
am open season on cow moose for
one week immediately following the
end of the season for bulls. Moose,
the speakers said, are now so num-
erous that the animals are facing a
serious shortage of winter feed.
