young, but to one of those men, a wren or creeper looks like a turkey. Antelope, mountain sheep and grizzly bears are _going_, fast! The moose season opens in 1915, for a 30 days open season, then close season until 1920.--(Howard Eaton, Wolf.) Sage grouse, blue grouse, curlew, sandhill crane, porcupine practically extinct; wolverine and pine marten nearly all gone.--(S.N. Leek, Jackson's Hole.) CANADA ALBERTA: Swainson's buzzard and sandhill crane are now practically extinct. Elk and antelope will soon be as extinct as the buffalo.--(Arthur G. Wooley-Dod, Calgary.) BRITISH COLUMBIA: Wild fowl are in the greatest danger in the southern part of the Province, especially the wood-duck. Otherwise birds are increasing rather than otherwise, especially the small non-game birds. The sea otter is almost extinct.--(A. Bryan Williams, Provincial Game Warden, Vancouver.) |
