Fairly Good Carryover
Of Game Is Reported
*****
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 23,1968
Reports oT a fairly good car
ryover of game and wildlife in
good condition have been re
ceived from nearly all parts of
the state, according to Game
Commission Executive Director
Glenn L. Bowers.
"Hunters enjoyed fine har
vests of most game species
which had good pre-season pop
ulations last fall. Due to the
heavy cover prevailing during
the hunting seasons, the harvest
of some species was limited,”
Bowers commented.
There was no sustained, se
vere weather to work hardships
on game this winter Sufficient
natural food supplies generally
created little need for winter
feeding of wildlife, Bowers re
ported.
Perhaps some think that deer
and bear harvests of the mag
nitude of the 1967 seasons might
have seriously depleted the big
game supply, but Bowers said
that all indications from the
field point to an adequate sup
ply of bear and a good carry
over of deer.
“The sizable deer harvest,"
Bowers said, “was in conform
ity with the objectives of our
management program. Our
whitetail population was high
and at or near the maximum
for range conditions in many
areas. Hence, the past year’s
harvest was desirable.
“When deer numbers are out
of line with available food and
in conflict with agricultural and
timber production, the whitetail

surplus must be harvested. De
spite hunter success in 1967,
there are still too many deer in
oome semi-urban and farm ar
eas, creating continued highway
kill and crop damage problems.
"But the total harvest figure
has increased for six consecutive
years, and perhaps we have
reached the summit for the time
being,” he said.
Pheasants and turkeys seem
to be in adequate supply in pri
mary range, and squirrels are
still abundant statewide. Tracts
observed in the snow during re
cent field border cutting opera
tions point to a good over-win
tering supply of rabbits, and
quail have been showing up well
in areas of the state where bob
white abound, according to field
reports.
“All in all, there should be
another excellent fawn crop and
a good supply of breeders going
into the production season for
small game," Bowers concluded.
The American Cancer Society
needs the support of all Ameri
cans in its fight against cancer.
Give generously.
