American Big-Game Hunting: The Book of the Boone and Crockett Club
Excerpt from American Big-Game Hunting: The Book of the Boone and Crockett Club
In behalf of game protection the Club works through the State for the procuring and setting apart of reservations where for ests and game alike shall be protected at all seasons by the law. These great forest reservations thus become the nurseries and breeding-grounds of game and of the large wild animals which are elsewhere inevitably exterminated by the march of settlement. Already several such reservations have been established in different States, both by Na tional and by State action - for instance, the Adirondack Reserve in New York, the Col orado Canon Reserve in Arizona, the big timber reserves in Colorado and Washing ton, the island set apart in Alaska as an undisturbed breeding-ground for salmon and sea-fowl, the Yosemite Valley and the Se.
