WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. troversial subjéct of a ‘hornless' moose season was first proposed this summer by Game Department biolo- Commission )iologists. that the popu- | gists, following a hunting season (hat has been marked in this area at z the shortage of big- game, we reprint the following letter that appeared in the Asheroft Journal. The writer is L. C. Cleveland, seere- tary-treasurer of the South Cariboo Game Guides Association. “The importance and urgency of the province-wide discussion. upon the moose situation in the interests of every man, woman and child of our wonderful country is such that I regard it my duty to relate my ex- periences for six weeks while in the employ as camp cook of Mr. T. A. Malker, a big game outfiter of the y- Cassiar district. “IT journeyed by Greyhound to Prince George, ‘Canadian Pacifle s to Watson Lake, Y.T., B.C. ys to Cold Fish Lake (a flight of one hundred minutes, and a flight via Taklo Lake and Mort St. James back to Prince George without see- ing one single moose from the air. This fact itself surely proves that the North country has been sadly neglected in predatory controlling. The present stories of the hunters telling of the scarcity of game, does not coincide with the biologists ree- | ommendations that 25,000 moose must be slaughtered to save the hearing daily mileS from camp: to camp, the hunters’ stories. of their hunts.

F. Corless, former river freight operator whose McLeod Lake service station and auto court is one of the few signs of civilization along the Hart Highway between Summit Lake anda point far north of the Parsnip Iiver, said that daily traffic flow is in the neighborhood of 150 cars. The resort man said that traffic reached its peak over the Hart road in the summer when the volume was around 300 cars a day. Most traffic on the road now is southbound and consists of Alaskan workers who have been laid off for the winter. Employment in Alaska gets under way again in February and Mareh due to the warming infiuence of the Japanese turrent and it is expected American cars returning by the Hart Highway shortcut will number in the as outlined in the September issue of.Field-and Stream and by the Game lation of 50,000 moose in B Columbia must be halved, as their story goes, to save the dying moose from malnutrition. This is a prob- lem with which. we guides, trappers, ranchers and hunters must co-oper- atesto study it thoroughly before any @rastic action is taken by opening a season of hornless moose. The writ- ex's opinion is: When we solve the tick infection problem we solve the spring death loss. “Surely the guides and trappers of the province who mingle with the moose the year around have first hand knowledge of conditions in their respective areas.” ‘Farmers’ Parliament’ Annual Date Set The B.C.
