BRYAN WILLIAMS,\nGame Commissioner. REPORT of the PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSIONER\n1931.\nGENERAL SUPERVISION.\nThe past year has been a notable one in many ways, and a large number of improvements\nhave been made in the organization of the Department, with highly satisfactory results. From\nalmost every part of the Province, authentic reports have agreed that there has been a noted\nincrease of practically every species of big game and, with the exception of a few districts, game\nbirds, including wild fowl, have afforded better sport than for many years past. As a result,\nthe sportsmen of the Province feel that they are at last getting results from the strenuous\nefforts they have made to have game conservation placed on its present basis.\nOn the whole, the present state of the Game Department is, considering present financial\nconditions, as satisfactory as could be expected. While the Department still needs a number\nof additional men and more equipment, there has been such an enormously increased feeling\nof interest in the future of the Department and expressed willingness by those directly interested\nto contribute more in the way of fees, that the prospects for the future can reasonably be\nconsidered very bright.\nDuring the past year the Game Wardens have given the Provincial Police a great deal of\nassistance. In a few cases Game Wardens have devoted more time to police-work than they\nshould have, and in consequence some of their own work has suffered. This, however, could\nnot be helped. Conditions have at times been such that it was vitally necessary that the police\nhave the assistance of men they could rely on.\nFor their part, the Provincial Police have done all in their power to assist us and in many\ninstances have been of the greatest service. Nowhere on this continent is there such wholehearted co-operation and nowhere have such valuable results been obtained.\nWhile the work of practically every Game Warden has been extremely good, a number of\nthem have made patrols in execution of their duties or in assisting the Provincial Police in\nsearches for lost men, which would not only make most interesting stories, but which would be\na revelation as to the hardships which Game Wardens endure. It would be impossible to\nmention all of these patrols as there are too many of them, and it would not be fair to single\nout any individual case. It may be said, however, that some of the patrols extended from\nperiods of two weeks to as much as two months, and they were carried on in spite of blinding\nsnow-storms, often lasting for days at a time, and sometimes in the course of their travels high\nmountains and occasionally treacherous glaciers had to be crossed. Sometimes, for days travel\nwas through forests with no trail. Occasionally packs had to be dropped and trails broken\nahead and then a return made for the packs. Snow-shoeing was unusually bad and often the\ncold was excessive, even down to 60 degrees below zero.\nIt takes hardy, determined men to carry out their duties under such conditions. Nevertheless, not one man failed in his mission, though they frequently risked their lives in so doing.\nTheir work has been a great credit to the Department.\nANNUAL MEETINGS.\nIt has now become a yearly practice to hold meetings of the officers in charge of each Game\nDivision, who are now given the title of Divisional Game Supervisors, as the title of District\nGame Warden was misleading. These meetings are held at the head ofiice of the Department\nin Vancouver.\nAt these meetings, the seaons for all game and fur-bearing animals are very thoroughly\ndiscussed, as are recommendations in regard to amendments to the \" Game Act.\" In addition,\nevery matter which affects the working of the Department is gone into. In this way we have\na commission of first-class practical men who are thoroughly conversant in every detail of their\nwork and who have a perfect knowledge of the various species and quantity of game in their\nrespective divisions. Such men are far better qualified to give opinions on conservation than\nanybody else could possibly be.    Surely it would be hard to find a better system. H 6 BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nGAME ASSOCIATIONS.\nThe work done by the various Game Associations during the past year has been most\nvaluable. At one time many of these associations were inclined to take an interest only in\ntheir own local affairs, particularly with regard to the open and close seasons, about which\nthey generally differed in opinion with adjoining districts. Frequently they did not even agree\namong themselves. During the past year or two, all this has changed. They are now getting\ntogether and coming to mutual agreements not only in regard to their own local affairs, but on\nthe general principles of conservation. In consequence, the help they now render the Game\nDepartment is valuable in the extreme.\nThe stand of the Game Associations when suggestions were made that the present organization be again changed and that it be linked up with either the Provincial Police or the Forestry\nDepartments made it very apparent that any changes in the present method of administration\nwould be bitterly resented. Practically every Game Association in the Province held a special\nmeeting and voiced their disapproval of any such change in no uncertain terms.\nGAME CONSERVATION.\nOnce again an effort was made to change the present method of game administration.\nIt seems that this sort of thing is bound to happen periodically. After years of ups and downs,\nno sooner does this Department begin to get on a substantial basis than some misguided\nindividuals do their best to upset all the work done. The supporters of the proposed change\napparently consisted of two classes. One group included those with absolutely no knowledge\nor interest in the matter who based their plea on the mistaken idea that it would be an economy.\nThe other group unquestionably consisted of those who did so for purely personal reasons.\nOn the latter group there need be no comment.\nIt is astonishing that in these enlightened times there are still people who do not realize\nthat our wild life is a business proposition and not just a sportsman's hobby. Such people\nnever stop to think that some of our industries are dependent on our stock of game, while nearly\nall of them are more or less affected by its quantity. A well-known conservationist once said:\n\" The angler follows the fish, the hunter follows the game\u2014let the world know you have fish\nand game and the world will be your guest and pay its good money for that sort of sport.\"\nSuch a saying should be particularly taken to heart by everybody who has a real interest in\nthe welfare of the Province. Here we are striving for a better tourist trade. Game and fish\ncombined with scenery are what, our visitors want. Any person who gives the matter a\nmoment's thought should realize its vast commercial importance, that any economy which\naffects it will prove a very fatal, false economy, and that its conservation, cost what it may,\nis a vital necessity. Everybody should realize that wild life is a heritage, not for this generation\nalone, but for those who come after us, and that we have a great responsibility to keep that\nheritage unimpaired.\nNow, if we are to have proper conservation, money must be spent for this purpose or the\ngame will soon disappear. You cannot get away from this fact. It is an utter fallacy to\nsuppose that the present personnel of the Provincial Police or of the Forestry Department could\nattend to the multitudinous duties that the Game Wardens have. They have plenty of work\nof their own, often more than they can do, without having additional work thrust upon them.\nPrevious experiences have already amply proved this to be the case. It was simply and solely\ndue to this fact that the gun licence was brought in at the request of those directly interested.\nTherefore, a force of trained Game Wardens is an absolute necessity, and these men will have\nto be paid their salaries, and travelling expenses as well as be furnished with suitable and\nup-to-date equipment.\nSome of these misguided economists seem to think that the police have lots of spare time\nand that Game Wardens have nothing to do in the summer months. Such ideas simply show\nhow lacking in knowledge they are and how dangerous it is to advocate changes in any system\nwithout first making a thorough study of it.\nThe ordinary man cannot know what amount of work a police officer or a Game Warden\nhas to do or what his responsibilities are. A Game Warden has his whole time occupied, every\nday of every month of the year, and to do his work properly he has to work long hours,\nfrequently finding it almost impossible to take his annual leave of absence. In fact, some of\nthem cannot always manage to take the leave to which they are entitled. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSIONER, 1931. H 7\nThen, again, after all is said and done, who is furnishing the money which the Game\nDepartment is spending? It has not cost the general public anything, not even those businesses\nwhich are directly or indirectly dependent on our stock of game. All the money which is spent\non game-protection comes from the pockets of those who shoot or trap. The Game Department\nis not even credited with the nine or ten thousand dollars which it collects in fines each year,\nand yet it is practically self-supporting. Surely those who contribute the funds towards game-\nprotection have a right to consider it trust money and that they should have the chief say as\nto how the money should be spent.\nUnquestionably, in years to come, if we continue to improve our present system, which is\nnow generally acknowledged to be the finest on the continent, our game will multiply and\neventually be our greatest source of wealth.\nThe people of the United States are very much alive to the value of their wild life. The\nStates of Washington and Oregon, notwithstanding the hard times, spent nearly a million\ndollars last year in an effort to bring back some of the game which they have lost. They look\nat it purely from a business point of view and think the money well spent, and yet there are\nmen (men who should know better than to make such statements) who have stated that the\nsmall amount of money spent by the Game Department is gross extravagence. There might be\nsome reason for such a statement if we had not obtained any results, but we unquestionably\nhave in the past three years. There has been a great increase in our big game and game birds,\nand our fur-bearing animals, which were down to a fairly low ebb, are now in a more satisfactory condition. If, however, sufficient funds are not forthcoming to carry on, it will be only\na few years before our game and fur-bearers will have gone and all the revenue we are now\nderiving from it will be a thing of the past.\nNot only would our tourist trade suffer, but some of our industries would be ruined and\nothers very badly hurt. British Columbia has been advertising its glorious mountains as a\ntourist attraction. It realizes what a marvellous inducement they are to people who come here,\nbut it does not yet properly realize that if our game goes all the romance and the greatest\nattraction of those glorious mountains will disappear too.\nFUR-BEARING ANIMALS.\nWhile our stock of fur-bearing animals is by no means as large as we would like it to be or\nas it should be, nevertheless, considering the excessive trapping that was carried on for a\nnumber of years, due to the enormous prices paid for pelts, we have every reason to be thankful\nthat we have any fur-bearing animals left at all. As it is, owing to weather conditions being\nextremely unfavourable to trapping operations during the past two years, and more particularly\nto our sytem of trap-line registration bringing good results, we have quite a fair-sized stock left.\nAt any rate, it is sufficient to make future prospects look quite good.\nThe situation with regard to beaver is distinctly encouraging. According to our royalty\nreturns, the total catch for the year 1929 amounts to only 14,787 pelts. In 1930, though the\nprice of pelts had fallen to such an extent that trappers were not trapping as heavily as they\nhad previously, the catch increased to 17,137 and in 1931 it rose again to 18,123, which is an\nincrease of 3,335 pelts in the past two years.\nThis is certainly very satisfactory, for the price of beaver-pelts again took a very great fall\nand there was no inducement for heavy trapping. In fact, reports from all over the Province\nindicate that trappers were not taking more beaver than they absolutely had to in order to\nobtain money to live on.\nIn addition to what has already been stated, beaver have returned to localities where there\nhad been none for years.    We even have had a couple complaints of damage being done by them.\nIn view of these facts, it must be very evident that, taking the Province as a whole, beaver\nare increasing and are not doomed to extermination as some pessimists would have us believe.\nWhile the situation in regard to beaver is at any rate fair, there is no doubt that they are\npractically doomed to extinction in the greater part of those districts where water is used for\nirrigation purposes. There is a very exaggerated idea as to the amount of water that beaver\nconserve. It also seems impossible to get people to understand that beaver cannot exist without\nwater, and if the dams are drained for irrigation purposes what little they conserve will soon\nbe run off. Also, a lengthy drought such as we have had during the past year or two has a\nserious effect on the stock.    If the water from beaver-dams is taken away at any time, except H 8 BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nin the early summer months, the dams never fill up again and the beaver must either die during\nthe winter or move elsewhere. If they attempt to move, they stand serious risks of being killed\nby predatory animals during their journey.\nDuring the past year an experiment in restocking with beaver was tried on a small scale.\nEleven beaver were trapped on the Bowron Lake Game Reserve and were released in the vicinity\nof Williams Lake. Whether or not all these beaver stayed where they were released is not yet\ndefinitely determined, though we know that some of them did. At any rate, the experiment\nhas proved sufficiently successful to warrant an attempt on a much larger scale. However, the\ndifficulty is going to be in finding suitable places where they can be preserved and where there\nwill be no outcries about damage they may do should they really increase to any extent.\n(Since this report was written it has been determined that all the beaver are alive and\ndoing well.)\nAs we expected, there was a very large increase in the catch of muskrats. The total catch\nfor the year amounted to 106,920, an increase of 54,224 over the year 1929. It was the largest\ncatch since 1923.\nThe catch of muskrats on Vancouver Island amounted to about 9,000 pelts. While there\nis no doubt that muskrats are not a desirable animal on the south end of Vancouver Island and\nthat they will have to be exterminated by some means, at the same time the money derived from\nthe sale of their pelts, which are of good quality and fetch a fair price, was a great help to a\nnumber of needy men who would otherwise have probably had to go on relief and be. an expense\nto the Government.\nWhile the catch of mink exceeds that of last year by 1,533, it is considerably below the\naverage for the past ten years.\nThe catch of marten was extremely disappointing. We anticipated an increased catch,\nbut the reverse was the case and it was a little over 1,000 pelts short of the year 1930. However,\nconsidering the trapping conditions, it is really rather surprising that the catch was not even\nsmaller. In numbers of localties trappers often found it almost impossible to operate at all.\nThey would no sooner get their traps set than a heavy fall of snow would bury them, and\nnumbers of men, after numerous attempts, gave it up in despair.\nThe low price of furs resulted in about 300 trappers giving up their trap-lines. A great\nnumber of those who abandoned their lines were men who operated on the Coast, where the\nfur does not fetch such high prices as that of the Interior. In addition, some of these men\nprobably had not conserved their fur as they should have done. Unquestionably, a few preferred to go on relief rather than do the arduous work that trapping entails with little hope of\nmaking more than a bare living.\nNevertheless, in spite of all the drawbacks we have suffered during the past year in respect\nto fur-bearing animals in general, our royalties showed an increase of $624 over that of the\nprevious year.\nBOUNTIES AND DESTRUCTION OF PREDATORS.\nOwing to the necessity for economy and the consequent small amount of the vote for the\ndestruction of predatory animals and birds, it became necessary to reduce the bounty on\ncougars and finally to do away with it altogether in November. This resulted in a great deal\nof criticism.\nThat such action had to be taken is most regrettable, but at the same time fair-minded\npeople should realize that these bounties have to be paid, and if sufficient money is not available\nfor this purpose we have to make the best of it until times improve. One thing is very certain,\nand that is that if those who were loudest in their criticism of the removal of the bounties had\nbeen asked to pay increased taxes so that bounties could be placed at the high figures they\nsuggested, they would have refused most emphatically.\nThere is no question, however, as to the amount of damage that cougar do both to domestic\nanimals and deer. There is also very little doubt that at the present time the only satisfactory\nmethod of dealing with this particular pest is by means of a bounty.\nIn certain areas, particularly on Vancouver Island, it is possible that predatory-animal\nhunters may prove satisfactory and economical as far as the protection of domestic animals\nis concerned, but it is questionable whether it would be economical to adopt such a method over REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSIONER, 1931. H 9\nthe whole of the Province. Later on, when the Game Department is in a position to employ\nmore men, it might be advisable to have a certain number of Game Wardens whose principal\nduty will be the destruction of predatory animals and birds. At the present time all Game\nWardens do a great deal towards the destruction of vermin of all kinds, but as the protection\nof game and not domestic animals is their first duty, they naturally have to confine their\nattentions in most districts to vermin which prey upon game birds.\nNevertheless, a few of the Game Wardens keep hounds which will tree cougars, and during\nthe past year they have been very successful in destroying these pests. Unfortunately, cougar-\nhunting necessitates many long and often fruitless days of travel, and few Game Wardens can\nspare so much time. They can, however, in the course of their ordinary duties, kill numbers\nof other species of vermin. This they have done with most excellent results not only in protecting game, but domestic stock as well.\nOne of the greatest menaces we now have in the more settled areas is the domestic cat\nwhich has gone wild. These pests seem to thrive in the wild state, and during the past year\nGame Wardens have destroyed 994 of them. In addition, probably an even greater number were\naccounted for by farmers and others to whom the Game Department furnished traps. Yet in\nthe more wooded areas the number of cats shows no diminution.\nThe bounty on magpies in the Interior was money well spent. Altogether, bounties were\npaid on 3,427 of these birds, and, in addition, Game Wardens accounted for 1,385, making a\ntotal of 4,812 which were destroyed.\nAnybody who is aware of the havoc these pests have wrought among domestic sheep in some\nof the States (to say nothing of game birds) will realize how important it is that we take every\nmeans to exterminate them.\nWhile we were not able to continue the payment of bounties, we were able to retain the\nservices of our predatory-animal hunters, and these few men have done most excellent work\nin protecting domestic stock from cougars, coyotes, and sheep-killing birds.\nGAME-BIRD FARMING.\nGame-bird farming has made considerable progress during the past year. As can be seen\nfrom the tabled returns, there were forty-three persons engaged in rearing pheasants and ducks.\nWhile the majority of those breeding pheasants have not, up to the present, met with the\nsuccess they anticipated, this has been due to their lack of knowledge. A few, however, have\ndone quite well, and unquestionably next year there will be a far greater number who, profiting\nby the experience which they have already gained, will have much better results.\nIt is most unfortunate that just at the time that this industry seems to be getting on a\nsubstantial footing a financial depression should decrease the market for these birds. However,\neven at present low prices, pheasants can be raised at a good profit, and in spite of difficulties\nthere is an excellent prospect of the industry attaining very large proportions.\nThis year a few pheasants were sold in the eastern part of Canada by one of our local\nbreeders, and it is to be hoped that a good market may be developed there.\nDuring the past year 785 leg-bands were sold, which is a large increase over the previous\nyear.\nREVENUE RETURNS.\nConsidering the financial depression and the consequent decrease in almost all Government\nreceipts, it would naturally be expected that the revenue derived from licence fees and royalty\nwould also suffer in a similar manner. It is most pleasing to be able to report, however, that\nwhile there has been some decrease in our total revenue, it has been a comparatively small one.\nWhile our resident ordinary firearms licences are a few less in number than the previous\nyear, still they are slightly larger than in 1929. This year these licences reached a total of\n29,357, which is 811 less than last year, but 2,597 more than in the previous year.\nThere was quite a decrease in the number of trappers' licences (resident special firearms\nlicences). This is due to the fact that many of those whose lines lay in the western part of\nthe Province, where fur is scarce and of less value than that of the Interior, did not consider\nit worth while to endure the strenuous work which trapping necessitates for the small amount H 10\nBRITISH COLUMBIA.\nof money they would make.    A number were unquestionably influenced by the fact that they\ncould go on relief.\nAnother factor of importance in regard to the loss of revenue is the decrease in the number\nof non-resident big-game hunters visiting this Province.\nROYALTY.\nThere has been some agitation for the reduction of royalty on furs. At first there appears\nto be considerable justification for such a demand. It must be remembered, however, that when\nthe present scale of royalties was fixed the value of furs was considerably lower than what it\nbecame in subsequent years. During this period of prosperity the trappers and fur-dealers\nflourished. During such times the royalty should have been raised, but, as this was not done\nthen, there does not seem to be any valid reason why it should be lowered now.\nIt must also be remembered that our system of trap-line registration confers benefits on our\ntrappers such as they obtain nowhere else in the world. It must also be remembered that such\na system, while producing splendid results, is an extremely costly one, and our revenue from\ntrappers' licences alone would not permit us to continue this system and give the trappers the\nprotection they need. Consequently, if we lowered our royalty fees, it might, and probably\nwould, be necessary to either do away with our system of trap-line registration or more than\ndouble our trappers' licence fee.\nIt must also be remembered that in this Province there are approximately 2,500 Indians\nwho have trap-lines. These Indians pay no licence fee whatever, and yet we are put to the\nexpense of registering their trap-lines and protecting their fur-bearing animals. It is only\nthrough the royalty that we get anything from them.\nIn addition, while we might lower the royalty and increase our trapper's licence fee, this\nwould be too great a burden on the trappers in the western part of the Province who probably\ncould not afford to pay a heavy fee.\n' EXPENDITURE.\nA statement is contained on page 26 showing the amount of money voted for game-protection\npurposes during the firscal year 1931-32.\nCOMPARATIVE STATISTICS.\nProsecutions.\nRevenue derived\nfrom Sale of\nGame Licences,\nFees, and Furs.\nCalendar\nYear.\nInformations\nlaid.\nConvictions.\nCases\ndismissed.\nFirearms\nconfiscated.\nPines\nimposed.\nderived from\nFur Trade.\n1913\t\n188\n294\n279\n127\n111\n194\n267\n293\n329\n359\n309\n317\n296\n483\n518\n439\n602\n678\n676\n181\n273\n258\n110\n97\n167\n242\n266\n312\n317\n280\n283\n279\n439\n469\n406\n569\n636\n625\n7\n21\n21\n17\n10\n13\n25\n27\n17\n42\n29\n34\n17\n44\n49\n33\n33\n32\n51\n5\n36\n46\n74\n44\n24\n24\n43\n39\n47\n29\n54\n33\n40\n$4,417.50\n5,050.00\n4,097.50\n2,050.00\n1,763.50\n3,341.00\n6,024.50\n6,073.00\n6,455.00\n7,275.00\n5,676.50\n4,768.00\n5,825.00\n7,454.00\n10,480.50\n7,283.50\n9,008.00\n9,572.75\n8,645.00\n$109,600.80\n92,034.20\n72,974.25\n66,186.97\n65,487.50\n75,537.00\n116,135.00\n132,296.50\n114,842.00\n127,111.50\n121,639.50\n125,505.50\n123,950.50\n135,843.50\n139,814.00\n140,014.75\n142,028.22\n147,660.00\n137,233.31\n1914\t\n1915\t\n1916\t\n1917\t\n1918\t\n1919\t\n1920\t\n$5,291.39\n24,595.SO\n51,093.89\n1921\t\n1922\t\n1923\t\n60,594.18\n56,356.68\n56,287.78\n62 535 13\n1924\t\n1925\t\n1926\t\n1927\t\n1928\t\n1929\t\n1930\t\n71,324.96\n58,823.07\n47,329.89\n45 161 11\n1931\t\n46,091.08 \"A\" DIVISION  (VANCOUVER ISLAND AND PORTIONS OF THE MAINLAND COAST).\nBy J. W. Graham, Divisional Game Supervisor.\nI beg to submit herewith my annual game report covering game conditions in this Division\nfor the year ended December 31st, 1931.\nGame Animals.\nBear.\u2014Black bear are quite numerous on Vancouver Island, although there have not been\nas many reports received from farmers this year as in previous years in regard to damage.\nGrizzly bear are numerous at Knight, Kingcome, and Seymour Inlets.\nWapiti (Elk).\u2014These animals are on the increase and are to be found in the Shaw Creek\nGame Reserve, the Nitinat River and its tributaries, and in the Oyster River District. From\npatrols made it is estimated that the Oyster River band shows an increase, and this also\napplies to the wapiti in the Elk River District. A band of ten cows and ten calves was seen\nin the vicinity of the Shaw Creek Game Reserve last July. On the west coast elk are reported\nto have been seen at the headwaters of the Nahwitti River.\nDeer.\u2014Deer are still plentiful on Vancouver Island, and a number of complaints have been\nreceived from farmers as to damage being done by these animals.\nThe disease known as \" liver-fluke \" has not been reported or noticed in any part of the\nDivision except in the Courtenay District.\nMany sportsmen recommend that a tag system be put into effect covering deer killed during\nthe open season.\nGoat.\u2014At Knight, Kingcome, and Seymour Inlets, as well as at Thompson, Wakeman, and\nMackenzie Sounds, goats are reported as being plentiful. The goats liberated in the Shaw\nCreek Game Reserve some years ago are still to be found on the high ridges, and one goat was\nalso reported seen on Mount Hooker in the Nanaimo Lake area.\nFur-hearing Animals.\nBeaver.\u2014The continued close season for the past few years for the trapping of these\nanimals on Vancouver Island has helped considerably, but beaver are still reported as being\nscarce throughout the most of Vancouver Island, with the possible exception of the Courtenay\nDistrict. I would not care to recommend any open season on Vancouver Island for the trapping\nof beaver.\nMarten.\u2014These animals are not plentiful, although they are to be found in good numbers\nin some parts of Vancouver Island.\nMink.\u2014Mink are fairly plentiful.\nRacoon.\u2014Throughout Vancouver Island these animals are plentiful, especially along the\nshore-line.\nMuskrats.\u2014These animals seem to have adapted themselves to Vancouver Island and are\nincreasing rapidly. Complaints have been received from farmers in regard to damage being\ndone by these animals to their crops and property, and in a number of instances permits have\nbeen issued to farmers to trap the animals during the close season.\nOtter.\u2014An increase in otter is reported to have been observed on tne northern end of the\nisland, but throughout the remaining portion are scarce.\nUpland Game Birds.\nGrouse.\u2014Blue and ruffed grouse have not been observed in any large numbers, but good\nbags were obtained during the past open season in the northern portions of the island. These\nbirds are very scarce in the Duncan and Cowichan Lake Districts and the season should remain\nclosed for another year at least.\nPheasants.\u2014These birds are not considered as being as plentiful as in past years. Very\nfew hunters secured bag limits when shooting was allowed on these birds during the past year.\nQuail.\u2014Throughout the southern portions of Vancouver Island quail have been very\nplentiful and an increased number of birds was noted in the Courtenay District.\nPartridges.\u2014These birds do not seem to be increasing on the island. In the Saanich\nDistrict a number have been seen.\nPtarmigan.\u2014On Vancouver Island these birds are reported as being very scarce. H 12 BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nMigratory Game Birds.\nDucks.\u2014These birds are common to Vancouver Island, but are not what would be considered\nplentiful, except in the extreme northern part of the island and on the west coast.\nBrant.\u2014In some districts brant have been seen in good numbers.\nGeese.\u2014In the Courtenay and Alert Bay Districts reports of geese in fairly good numbers\nhave been received.    Throughout the remainder of Vancouver Island they have been scarce.\nSwans.\u2014Eight swans were observed on Cowichan Lake and a number of these birds were\nalso observed in the vicinity of the Nanaimo Lakes, Hilliers, and Qualicum. A few of these\nbirds were observed in the Courtenay and Campbell River Districts.\nVermin.\nCougar still seem to be on the increase. A few complaints were received during the year\nfrom farmers in regard to their domestic stock being killed by cougar, but in most instances\nthey did not report the loss of their stock until they had endeavoured to hunt the cougar themselves, and when they called for assistance it was too late. It is felt that in doing away with\nthe payment of bounties the destruction of cougar will only be in small numbers, and it is\nexpected that there will be a decided increase in the numbers of these animals.\nWolves seem to be on the increase, and while no bands have been reported, odd animals\nhave been seen in various parts of the island.\nDomestic cats which have been allowed to run wild are causing considerable damage to\ngame birds. Throughout the year the Game Wardens in this Division have paid particular\nattention to the destruction of these cats and other vermin.\nGame-protection.\nThis Division has been constantly patrolled and the provisions of the \" Game Act\" strictly\nenforced. One hundred and thirty-four convictions were obtained during the year. The Game\nWardens have co-operated with Fishery Officers and thirty-two of these convictions were\nobtained under the British Columbia Fishery Regulations. Three convictions were obtained\nunder section 11 of the \" Game Act,\" resulting in prison sentences, and two of the cases brought\nup for night-hunting were dismissed with a warning.\nI am pleased to say that the members of the Provincial Police Force have co-operated and\nhave always been willing to give any assistance in their power in enforcing the \" Game Act.\"\nA good deal of credit is due the constable at Port Alice for the assistance he has given in\nenforcing the game laws, and also in connection with the trouble he has taken in registering\ntrap-lines in his district.\nGame Propagation.\nApproximately 1,100 pheasants have been liberated during the year on Vancouver Island.\nThese birds were put out in suitable areas. Two hundred and ninety-seven quail and eight wild\nturkeys were also liberated on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands during 1931.\nGame Reserves.\nThere are five game reserves on Vancouver Island\u2014namely, Mount Douglas Park, Little\nSaanich Mountain, Shaw Creek, Elk Lake, and Strathcona Park, including the Forbidden\nPlateau. These reserves are well protected at all times and have proved to be wonderful\ngame-breeding areas.\nBird sanctuaries were recently created on Esquimalt Lagoon, Shoal Harbour, and\nRoberts Bay.\n, Fur Trade.\nVery little information can be supplied in regard to the fur trade, as the majority of the\nfur trapped is generally shipped direct to Vancouver, although a certain amount of trading in\nfur is engaged in along the west coast.\nFur-farming.\nThere are quite a number of fur-farms on Vancouver Island. From reports received all\nthose engaged in this business seem to be making a success of their business. A number of game-bird farms have been established on the island during the past few\nyears.\nRegistration of Trap-lines.\nThere are now 483 trap-lines registered in this Division. The system of registration is\nproving to be most satisfactory, as the majority of the trappers feel that it is to their interest\nto protect the fur on their registered trap-lines. Very few complaints have been received during\nthe year of conflictions in regard to trap-lines in the Division.\nRegistration of Guides.\nThere are very few guides registered in this Division.\nSpecial Patrols.\nPatrols have been made throughout this Division continuously and many good results\nobtained therefrom. Whenever possible, joint patrols were made with the British Columbia\nPolice and as a result of these joint patrols a great deal of expense was saved.\nHunting Accidents.\nI am very pleased to report that the number of hunting accidents this year was less than\nduring the previous year, only four accidents being reported, which are as follows:\u2014\nDavid Marshall, of Royston, B.C., accidentally shot himself while hunting in the vicinity\nof the old Bloedell logging area near Union Bay on September 20th, 1931. Marshall was a\nminor, as classed under the \" Game Act,\" as he was only 17 years of age.\nOn December 19th, 1931, Stuart V. Snider, of Metchosin, B.C., accidentally shot himself\nwhile hunting in the vicinity of Metchosin. Upon investigation being made it was evident that\nSnider had slipped on a snag and fallen face downward on his gun, which was discharged,\nkilling him almost instantly.\nC. H. Coldwell, Victoria, B.C., was accidentally shot by one W. E. Eddy, of East Sooke, B.C.,\non October 18th, 1931. Coldwell was hunting with companions in the vicinity of Sooke when\na shot was fired at a deer by Eddy, accidentally hitting Coldwell in the right breast. Coldwell\nwas immediately taken to the hospital, and although the wound was a serious one, it was not\nfatal.    Eddy, who was 17 years of age at the time, has had his firearms licence cancelled.\nCallin Carto, Albert Saunders, and two other boys, all of Comox, B.C., were out target-\npractising on October 25th, 1931, and when they were returning home the .22 calibre rifle which\nthey had been using, and which was being carried by Albert Saunders, was accidentally discharged, striking Callin Carto and inflicting a wound in the right thigh. The wound was not\nserious.\nSeveral persons have been reported lost during the past hunting season, but upon search-\nparties being sent out all were successfully located, with the exception of Benny Sands, of North-\nfield, B.C., who was lost in the vicinity of Siwash Ridges while hunting near Nanoose on\nDecember 6th, 1931. Searches have been conducted from time to time for the purpose of\nendeavouring to locate this missing hunter, but without success.\nSummary- and General Game Conditions.\nThe conditions in respect to game on Vancouver Island can be considered as being fairly\ngood. This island has always been considered as a place to hunt by non-residents of the\nProvince, but a considerable decrease has been noted during the past season owing to the fact\nthat the licence fee was increased.\nAll complaints received pertaining to the Game and Fisheries Acts have been attended to\nimmediately and all parts of the Division have been patrolled continuously. Pit-lamping has\nbeen carried on to a certain extent, but not as much as in previous years. At any rate, the.\nGame Wardens have spent night after night in an effort to check this illegal practice, and\nalthough only three convictions were obtained and two cases dismissed with a caution, I am of\nthe opinion that as a result of the patrols made by the Game Wardens the practice of pit-\nlamping is being kept down to the lowest possible minimum.\nI also wish to take this opportunity to express my appreciation of the work done by the\nGame Wardens throughout the Division, and also to members of the British Columbia Police\nForce, who have always been willing to give assistance whenever possible. H 14 BRITISH COLUMBIA.\n\"B\" DIVISION   (KOOTENAY AND BOUNDARY DISTRICTS).\nBy Game Wardens in \" B \" Division.\nGame Animals.\nBear.\u2014Grizzly and black bear are to be found in fairly large numbers. Black bear in some\ndistricts have done considerable damage to private property.\nCaribou.\u2014These animals are to be found in certain parts of the Division, but not in any\nlarge numbers.\nMoose.\u2014During the past year there was a marked increase in the number of moose in the\nFernie District, although only a few of these animals were killed during the open season. In the\nUpper Kootenay Valley moose are fairly plentiful.\nDeer.\u2014Deer appear to be holding their own and in some districts are slightly increasing.\nConsiderable damage was done to deer in the southern part of the Division as a result of forest\nfires.\nMountain-goat.\u2014These animals are reported as being plentiful in most parts of the Division,\nwith the exception of the Boundary District.\nMountain-sheep.\u2014On Ashnola Creek and the east side of Dog and Vasseau Lakes there are\na few sheep.    In the Fernie District a marked increase has been noted in these animals.\nWapiti (Elk).\u2014Elk have increased throughout the East Kootenay District and some\nexcellent hunting was afforded on these animals during the past open season. Wapiti have\nincreased very rapidly in the Penticton District, and as a result numerous complaints have\nbeen received of their doing damage to private property.\nFur-bearing Animals.\nMuskrats and lynx are plentiful in some parts of the Division. Fur-bearing animals in\ngeneral throughout the Division are scarce. A good deal of damage was done to quite an\nextent of territory in the Cranbrook District as the result of forest fires, and due to this fact\nmany fur-bearing animals in this affected area were destroyed.\nGame Birds.\nGrouse.\u2014Ruffed and blue grouse, considering the Division as a whole, have been plentiful,\nand in some parts Franklin grouse and ptarmigan are increasing. In the Boundary District\nblue and ruffed grouse were reported as being scarce. In the Revelstoke area, however, they\nare on the increase.\nPheasants.\u2014It is reported that in the Boundary District pheasants were as plentiful as in\npast years and some excellent shooting was obtained by sportsmen in this district.\nQuail.\u2014In those parts of the Division where quail are to be found, excellent shooting was\nhad and it would appear that these birds are on the increase.\nMigratory Game Birds.\nIn certain parts of the Division migratory game birds appeared in approximately the same\nnumbers as in previous years.    In the Revelstoke District ducks and geese were quite plentiful.\nVermin.\nCoyotes have not decreased by any means, as quite a number of these animals were\ndestroyed during the year by trappers and others.\nReports of cougar indicate that they are not plentiful. Noxious birds, however, have been\ndestroyed in fairly large numbers by Game Wardens and others throughout the year.\nGame-protection. ,.\nThe Division has 'been carefully and constantly patrolled throughout the year. Many\npatrols have been made into outlying parts of the Division with beneficial results.\nA great deal of assistance has been given by members of the British Columbia Police in\nenforcing the provisions of the \"Game Act \" and Regulations. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSIONER, 1931. H 15\nGame Reserves.\nThe only large reserve lying within the boundaries of this Division is known as the Elk\nRiver Game Reserve, and this reserve has been constantly patrolled, and it is pleasing to note\nfrom reports that all kinds of game in this reserve are increasing and spreading out to the\nsurrounding country. There are a number of Dominion parks in this Division which also\nprovide excellent breeding areas for game animals and game birds.\nFur Trade.\nA large percentage of the fur taken in this Division is shipped to Vancouver to be sold,\nwhile some of the fur finds its way to markets in the East or in the United States. There does\nnot appear to be any great decrease in the amount of fur taken each year by trappers.\nRegistration of Trap-lines.\nThe registered trappers in this Division are each year more than ever endeavouring to\nprotect the fur-bearing animals on their trap-lines, in view of the fact that they realize it is\nto their interest to conserve the fur, and this has been brought about as a result of the registration of trap-lines.\nThe Game Wardens in this Division have done their utmost throughout the year to bring\nthe registered trap-lines in their respective districts up-to-date, and as a result registration\ncertificates have been issued to a number of trappers.\nRegistration of Guides.\nCare has been taken this year to see that all guides in the Division secure registration and\nreport before proceeding with a hunting-party and also on their return from a hunting-trip,\nand by this means a close check has been kept on the operations of the various guides and their\nparties during the year.\nSpecial Patrols.\nMany patrols have been made to the outlying parts of the Division during the year, with\nthe result that more definite information has been received as to game conditions in these outlying districts.\nHunting Accidents.\nThere has been a few hunting accidents in this Division during the past year, but not many\nof them have been serious.\nSummary.\nSome excellent big-game bags were taken by non-resident hunters in the Division, and\nresident hunters have had good sport due to the fact of the increase in the numbers of the\nvarious big-game animals and game birds.\nIn regard to fur-bearing animals, while registered trappers have undoubtedly done their\nutmost to protect their stock of fur, still at the same time, through depredations by predatory\nanimals and forest fires, the stand of fur in some districts has decreased.\n\"C\"  DIVISION   (KAMLOOPS,  YALE,  OKANAGAN, CARIBOO,  AND CHILCOTIN\nDISTRICTS).\nBy Divisional Game Supervisor R. M. Robertson.\nI have the honour to submit herewith my annual game report for the year 1931.\nBig Game.\nMoose, bear, and deer are numerous in the north-eastern portions of the Division. Grizzly\nbear are to be found on Cayoosh Creek and also at the head of the tributaries of the Upper\nBridge River and Hurley River. Black and brown bear have been fairly numerous throughout\nthe Lillooet District, while in the vicinity of Quesnel reports have been received of their doing\ndamage to domestic sheep. Moose are rapidly increasing in the Lillooet District, while a good\nnumber of these animals were secured by hunters in the Clinton area during the past season.\nCaribou are in fair numbers north and east of Canim Lake, Mahood Lake, and also in the\nClearwater country. H 16 BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nWapiti are doing fairly well and are spreading to Gun Creek and the main Bridge River\nDistrict.\nMountain-sheep are increasing slightly. A number of these animals were observed in the\nShorts Creek District.\nFur-bearing Animals.\nFur-bearing animals are not considered as being numerous, although on the larger trap-lines\nthey appear to be in good numbers. In the southern portion of the Division beaver are scarce,\ndue undoubtedly to the very dry weather during the past few years. In the Lillooet District,\nparticularly along the main Bridge River, Hurley River, and Cadwallader Creek, fur-bearing\nanimals are reported as being in fairly good numbers.\nThe yearly average of fur-bearing animals taken in this Division, however, is being kept\nup, and undoubtedly in some districts there is an increased stock of fur.\nUpland Game Birds.\nBlue and ruffed grouse in the Kelowna District are scarce and a close season is recommended, while in the Merritt, Quesnel, and Williams Lake District these birds are reported as\nbeing plentiful.\nPheasants and partridges apparently are on the increase in those parts of the Division\nwhere they are to be found, especially the Vernon District. Prairie-chicken are reported as\nincreasing in the Quesnel District, while in other districts they are not in any large numbers.\nMigratory Game Birds.\nA greater concentration of ducks has been observed during the last season and this situation\nis accounted for by the continued dry weather and the drying-up of small bodies of water\nthroughout the Division. In certain localities, such as Salmon Arm, Kamloops, and Williams\nLake, ducks and geese are reported as being numerous.\nVermin.\nCoyotes are reported as being numerous in most districts, while cougar in the Hanceville\narea, particularly in the Tatlayoko Lake area, are reported as being very numerous.\nBig-horned owls and other noxious birds are plentiful, and it is recommended that in order\nto prevent these birds from doing damage amongst the stock of game birds a bounty be placed\non them.\nIt is suggested that by the employment of predatory-animal hunters a great deal of good\nwill be derived, as undoubtedly trained men will account for the destruction of more predatory\nanimals and noxious birds than under the bounty system.\nGame-protection.\nThere were 104 convictions for violations of the Game and Fishery Regulations in this\nDivision during the past year. The continuous patrols conducted by trained Game Wardens\nhave had a very beneficial effect. It is suggested that it probably would be advisable to transfer\nGame Wardens from one district to another for short periods during the open season, as if this\nwere done undoubtedly better enforcement would be the result.\nThe destruction of vermin has been carried on by Game Wardens throughout the year, and\nvery good work has been done in this connection. It is proposed, as a measure of economy,\nto construct crow-traps in suitable areas and also to distribute cat-traps, as by the use of these\ntraps a greater number of vermin will be destroyed at a less cost than by the use of firearms.\nGame Propagation.\nThe pheasants shipped into the Hanceville District a few years ago are doing very well and\nare spreading out along the Fraser and Chilcotin Rivers. In the Salmon Arm District pheasants\nare increasing, and, as a matter of fact, this applies to many parts of the Division.\nTen live beaver were taken from the Bowron Lake Game Reserve last fall and released in\nthe vicinity of Lac la Hache. These animals have established themselves, and there is every\nreason to expect them to increase. It is recommended that the trapping of these beaver be\ncontinued for release in other parts of the Division where they are required.    If the Department REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSIONER, 1931. H 17\nhad created a game reserve in the Southern Interior for the protection of deer before any\nmining or farming activities took place, that reserve, which was abolished several years ago\nbecause of local opposition, would have been a splendid feeder of game animals for the surrounding country. Failing the creation of a reserve for game and fur-bearing animals, I would\nstrongly recommend the closing of certain areas for trapping scattered throughout the Province\nto be used as fur-breeding areas. AVith the Province so heavily covered with trap-lines at\npresent, it might be arranged that several lines eligible for cancellation could be kept free from\nregistration and used as breeding areas for fur-bearing animals. This could be tried on a small\nscale for a period of years and the results noted.\nGame Reserves.\nThere are two game reserves in this Division, one at Tranquille and the other at Bowron\nLake. The latter has been a great success as a breeding-ground for fur-bearing animals.\nThe matter of extending the Tranquille Reserve is under consideration at the present time.\nFur Trade.\nThe fur trade has been at a very low ebb, due to poor fur prices. A great deal of the fur\ntrapped in this Division is shipped to fur-dealers in Vancouver.\nThe irresponsible fur-buyer is to a great extent the cause of a good deal of smuggling of\nfur and also for illegal trapping. The travelling fur-trader who cares little for the stock of\nfurs on the trap-line is one of the trapper's greatest enemies. The promise to \" buy anything\nyou have \" by unscrupulous fur-traders has a lot to do with the scarcity of fur.\nFur-farming.\nTaken on the whole, the fur-farming situation in this Division is not a bright one, clue to\nthe poor prices being received and also in view of the fact that there are no markets for farm-\nraised fur. Fur-farming is a business requiring a good deal of intelligent handling, and those\nmaking a success of this business will accomplish this through a proper scientific study of the\nraising and feeding of fur-bearing animals in captivity.\nRegistration of Trap-lines.\nThere are too many half-hearted trappers endeavouring to make a few dollars each winter\nby registering and operating a very short trap-line. It is realized by these trappers that what\nthey have does not amount to very much and it is little or nothing out of their pockets if they\ndo overtrap, but fortunately the Department's stand in regard to the overtrapping of registered\ntrap-lines will stop most of these trappers from depleting the fur.\nThere are a number of trappers who are conserving their fur and the system of trap-line\nregistration is apparently working out very well in these cases. One of the faults in this\nDivision, however, is the fact that there are too many trappers.\nRegistration of Guides.\nA form of examination should be passed by guides and the whole system of registration\nof guides raised to a high standard of efficiency.\nSpecial Patrols.\nA special patrol was made by Game Warden Farey to Maiden Creek, and three Indians\nwere, as a result, arrested for killing does and fawns. Another patrol was made into the\nPrinceton District by Game Warden Jobin, where a deer-sausage factory was found and the\nremains of twenty-seven deer discovered. Several other convictions were obtained, and in\nthe case of the owner of the sausage-factory a fine was imposed and his licence cancelled for\nthe coming year.\nHunting Accidents.\nAntoine Belanger, prospector, was shot and killed in mistake for a deer by one George Guay\non May 14th, 1931.\nEdward Caddon, aged 16, of Mara, B.C., accidentally shot himself in the stomach on\nOctober 25th,  1931,  and  died shortly afterwards.    The  deceased  was leaning  on  his  loaded\n2 H 18 BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nshotgun with the butt of the gun on a log. The butt slipped and presumably the hammer was\nforced against the cartridge, as the gun went off with the barrel against his stomach.\nJ. C. Kendrick was shot through the body and instantly killed. The shot was fired by\nGeorge Dillabough, with whom he was hunting.\nMarcus McAbee, Ashcroft, B.C., was shot and killed on a hunting-trip by Alexander M.\nHinkes, Clinton, B.C., on October 16th, 1931.\nIn all of these cases investigations were conducted by the Provincial Police and action taken\nunder the Criminal Code and the \" Game Act.\"\nSummary.\nI wish to comment on the assistance rendered in several cases by members of the British\nColumbia Police under the \" Game Act.\" A co-operative spirit exists in this Division between\nthe Game and Police Departments, and valuable and timely assistance rendered by members\nof the British Columbia Police Force was greatly appreciated by the Game Wardens in this\nDivision.\nPatrols have been well carried out during the past year and credit is due the Game Wardens\nin this Division for the efficient manner in which these duties were executed.\nThe general game condition throughout this Division is very satisfactory, and if continued\npatrols are made and the game kept under close supervision there is no reason why a decided\nincrease will not be noted in the next few years.\n\" D \" DIVISION  (ATLIN, SKEENA, OMINECA, FORT GEORGE, PEACE RIVER, AND\nYUKON BOUNDARY DISTRICTS).\nBy Divisional Game Supervisor T. Van Dyk.\nGame Animals.\nMoose.\u2014In spite of the great number of moose killed during the last two seasons, the\nanimals are increasing in every district and are continuing to spread westward, and have been\nreported in greater numbers west of Hazelton, reaching as far as Terrace. The portion of the\nSkeena Electoral District east of the Cascade Range could be included in the territory provided\nwith an open season on moose.\nCaribou.\u2014These animals, not being extensively hunted, are increasing. Very good reports\nhave been received from the Cassiar, Peace River (Toad River area), and Upper Fraser River\nDistricts.\nWapiti.\u2014Further proof that these game animals were very abundant in the past over a\nwide area of the Peace River District, east of the Rocky Mountains, came to hand again this\nseason in the finding of two sets of horns north of the Halfway River.\nIn view of the reported increase in the number of elk in Jasper Park, of which a number\nwere seen in the vicinity of Yellowhead, B.C., during the month of November, 1931, and their\npossible migration north, the close season north of the Canadian National Railway line represented in my last report is again suggested.\nA herd of these animals was reported south of the Canadian National Railway, Prince\nRupert line, in the vicinity of Cluskuz Lake, Vanderhoof District, where an elk was killed by an\nIndian during the month of October last. Further information in regard to the number of\nanimals, location of herds, etc., is being obtained.\nNo definite report has been received regarding the wapiti liberated on Queen Charlotte\nIslands.    Only four cows with young have been reported.\nSheep.\u2014Good reports have been received from the Toad River area (Peace River District),\nwhere numerous bands were noted by big-game hunters and guides. Mr. H. S. Snyder, of\nChicago, Illinois, U.S.A., reported having seen one band containing 150 Stone sheep. He secured\ntwo very nice trophies.\nThe Sheep Creek Pass, Wapiti Pass area, are not so favourable, as sheep are reported scarce\nthere, but as the main range is situated in Alberta a close season in British Columbia should\nnot be contemplated unless the Government of the Province of Alberta could be induced to\nco-operate and a close season declared covering both areas.   Fairly good reports have been REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSIONER, 1931. H 19\nReceived from the Cassar District, indicating that sheep are as numerous as ever.    Some very\ngood trophies were secured during the past season.\nGoat.\u2014These animals are never hunted extensively, and as a result are increasing and in\nno danger of extermination.\nDeer.\u2014These animals are on the increase in every district. An improvement in the Coast\ndeer, especially on Porcher Island, has been noted.\nBear.\u2014Black bear are very numerous throughout the Division and grizzly bear are on the\nincrease.\nFur-bearing Animals.\nAll species are reported in fair numbers; especially is this the case on some of the registered\ntrap-lines.\nAn average catch is again expected this season. Many trappers will secure sufficient pelts\nto cover expenses only, allowing the trap-lines to be built up. In view of this fact, the size of\nthe catch cannot be used as a gauge to determine the increase or decrease of fur-bearing animals.\nBeaver may be found in any part of the Division and the fear of extinction, felt a few years\nago, has entirely disappeared.\nThe open seasons for trapping which have been in effect during the past few years appear\nto meet with the approval of all trappers and should be again adopted this coming season.\nUpland Game Birds.\nAll species of grouse have made a remarkable recovery during the last two years. This is\nvery noticeable in the Peace River area. In the case of ptarmigan and pintail grouse, in that\nportion of the Fort George Electoral District situate and lying to the east of the Rocky\nMountains, it has been suggested that the seasons be set covering the months of September\nand October.\nMigratory Game Birds.\nStcans.\u2014It is not definitely established that trumpeter swans are wintering on the Tachie\nRiver, Stillwater River (near Bella Coola), and on the Queen Charlotte Islands. A small flock\nhas wintered at Tachie for the last five or six years, while another flock has been reported on\nStillwater River, near Bella Coola, and recently a flock was reported in the vicinity of Masset,\nQueen Charlotte Islands.\nGeese.\u2014The breeding season in the northern part of this Division was very favourable,\nresulting in a greater number of geese being noted during the fall migration in the Fort George\nand Peace River areas. The spring close season and the short fall open season is sufficient to\nprotect these birds.\nDucks.\u2014The breeding season in this Division on these birds is very favourable. Numerous\nflocks were seen on rivers and lakes north of Prince George during the migration periods.\nThe Coast district is noted for its ducks, which were exceptionally numerous during November\nand December.\nVermin.\nWith the return of the rabbits, coyotes are reported on the increase. Numerous complaints\nhave been received throughout the Division regarding the abnormal increase and the great\ndamage being done by wolves, especially to animals of the deer family. Like coyotes, owls\nand hawks seem to return with the increase of the rabbits and grouse, and undoubtedly cause\na great deal of damage amongst our game birds.\nGame-protection.\nRegular patrols have been conducted at all times throughout the Division. Special patrols\nfor specific purposes were undertaken with very good results, as will be noted from the prosecutions conducted in this Division during the year, which show an increase of nearly 100 per cent.\nover the year 1930.\nThe enforcement of the \" Game Act \" was carried out by thirty-seven officers of the British\nColumbia Police Force and eleven Game Wardens; 20 per cent, of the prosecutions being\nlaunched by the former and 80 per cent, by the latter. The splendid results obtained are worthy\nof commendation, and are no doubt due to the fine spirit of co-operation existing between the H 20 BRITISH COLUMBIA.\ntwo forces.    Anticipating this spirit to prevail during the coming season, we may look forward\nto further improvement in all game-protection work.\nGame Propagation.\nReports regarding the increase in the number of elk liberated on Queen Charlotte Islands\nhave been received. In one instance one cow was seen with three young. This information,\nalthough not covering the whole herd, is quite satisfactory.\nAt Tlell, Queen Charlotte Islands, Skeena Crossing, and Kitwanga, information comes to\nhand indicating an increase in the number of pheasants in these areas, and it would therefore\nappear to be advisable to release further birds during the coming season in the vicinity of\nthese places.\nA further request has been received from the Vanderhoof Board of Trade that European\npartridges should be introduced into their district, and it is recommended that another trial\nbe made with a view of complying with their request.\nGame Reserves.\nThree game reserves\u2014Kaien Island, Lake Kathlyn, and the Prince George Game Reserves,\nthe latter established as a safety-zone\u2014have been patrolled at various times and are fulfilling\nthe purposes for which they were established. In regard to the Kunghit Island Reserve, I have\nno information available, as this reserve is located in such an isolated place that no patrols\nhave been made to the same in view of lack of transportation facilities.\nFur Trade.\nAs the data for this Division are very incomplete owing to the great number of fur-traders'\nlicences being issued in Vancouver and as the bulk of the pelts are shipped to Vancouver, no\nsatisfactory reports can be submitted in regard to the fur trade.\nFur-farming.\nThe licensing of fur-farmers is advocated with a view of financing the appointment of a\ncapable supervisor or inspector for the Province.\nI am very pleased to report that very satisfactory results have been obtained by Louis\nTereshuk, a fur-farmer of Red Rock Lake, Prince George Post-office, in the breeding and raising\nof fisher in captivity. I hope to obtain complete data on the breeding of fisher, and will submit\na report at a later date, in order that this information may be made available in pamphlet form\nfor distribution among other farmers who are interested in the farming of fisher.\nRegistration of Trap-lines.\nThe registration of all trappers, which created an extraordinary amount of work, will be\ncompleted during the coming year.\nRegistration of Guides.\nOne hundred and ninety-four guides have been registered at this office in past years,\nalthough only twenty-nine took out licences during the past season.\nThe introduction of regulations providing for an examination of all applicants for guides'\nlicences should be given serious consideration, thereby increasing the efficiency of the guides in\ngeneral and the reputation of our Province as a big-game country in particular.\nSpecial Patrols.\nA number of lengthy patrols were undertaken by Game Wardens during the year.\nThe following patrols are brought to your attention:\u2014\nTaku and Tulsequah Rivers Patrols: March 22nd to April 17th; miles covered, 700 by\nboats. This patrol, undertaken by Game Wardens E. Martin and E. W. Baker, is worthy of\nnotice as it shows a splendid co-operation as existing between the Game and Police Forces of\nthe Province and the officials of the Alaska Game Commission. The B.C. Police Motor-launch\nNo. 8 was used wherever possible, and an Alaska Game Warden accompanied the patrol for the\npurpose of assisting our officers in Alaskan territory. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSIONER, 1931. H 21\nRainbow Creek Patrol: June 10th to June 17th; miles covered, 300 by horses. Patrol\nundertaken by Game Warden S. F. Faherty, of Vanderhoof, B.C., for the purpose of visiting\nthe gold-digging of Rainbow Creek. This Game AVarden showed his aptitude for game-work,\nundertaking the patrol alone.\nSheep Creek Pass Patrol: August 6th to September 22nd ; miles covered, 740 by saddle-\nhorse and pack-horses. Patrol undertaken by Game Wardens A. J. Jank and S. F. Faherty\nfor the purpose of patrolling the British Columbia-Alberta boundary-line during the hunting\nseason. This patrol has been very favourably commented on by two non-resident big-game\nhunters during the course of their journey.\nMr. E. Van Der Grinten, who has hunted throughout the United States and every Province\nin Canada, stated that this was the first time he had been asked to produce his licence. This\nwas highly approved of and looked upon as encouragement to return to a Province where game\nwas so efficiently protected. It is very encouraging indeed to discover that the real sportsmen\nappreciate the efforts of our Department in conserving the game of the Province, and I respectfully suggest that similar patrols be sent into the big-game areas every year.\nFort Nelson Patrols: The numerous patrols undertaken by Game Warden J. S. Clark and\nhis assistant, B. Villeneuve, are again brought to your attention. The efficient manner in which\nthe patrols and work are carried out by this Game AVarden and his assistant is worthy of\ncommendation, and I respectfully suggest that my recommendation regarding the promotion of\nGame AVarden be given kind consideration.\nHunting Accidents.\nTwo hunting accidents occurred in this Division during the last calendar year.\nOn September 27th, 1931, John Howard Bimie, of Smithers, B.C., was accidentally shot by\nHerbert Edwin Blanchard, of the same address, while hunting deer. The firearms licence of\nMr. Blanchard was cancelled.\nRonald B. Durrant, of Terrace, B.C., accidentally shot himself on October 18th, 1931, while\nhunting ducks on Lakelse Lake. The deceased on leaving the boat apparently pulled the gun\ntowards him, accidentally discharging the same and receiving a shot in the throat. Death was\ninstantaneous.\nSummary.\nGame conditions have been very favourable during the year. Heavy snowfalls are prevailing at present,'with heavy crust, and as a result animals of the deer family will suffer somewhat\nfrom depredations of coyotes and wolves. Game birds have increased enormously, due to the\nfact that weather conditions have been ideal during the nesting season. On the whole, game\nconditions compare very favourably with previous years and, due to the present system of game-\nconservation, improvement may be expected from year to year.\nBefore concluding my report I respectfully wish to thank the members of the Game Department, the British Columbia Police, and the various Game Associations located in the Division\nfor their hearty co-operation in the administration and enforcement of the \" Game Act\" and\nRegulations thereunder.\n\"E\" DIVISION   (VANCOUVER, COAST,  AND FRASER VALLEY DISTRICTS).\nBy Divisional Game Supervisor J. G. Cunningham.\nGame Animals.\nDeer.\u2014Deer are still very plentiful throughout the mainland portion of this Division, but\nare scarce on the islands in Howe Sound. The Squamish, Pitt, Stave, and Harrison Districts\nproduced more deer than ever. The Squamish and Harrison proved to be the most popular\nplaces, and I know of many sportsmen who secured their season's bag limit in these districts.\nSportsmen inform me that in the Squamish District more deer have been seen there during the\npast season and appear to be quite plentiful.\nNo reports of disease amongst deer have been received recently. The disease amongst deer\na few years ago apparently killed off a large number of deer on the islands in Howe Sound\nand Jervis Inlet. H 22 BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nAA7e have again had an agitation for the opening of a season on does, but I am not in favour\nof such an open season.\nGoat.\u2014Mountain-goat are holding their own. These animals have been reported as appearing along the Seymour Range, Narrows Arm, McNab Creek, and the mountain range on the east\nside of Howe Sound, in addition to the usual number at Alouette, Stave, and Powell Lakes, and\nat Bute and Toba Inlets.\nBear.\u2014Black bear are very plentiful, but are not extensively hunted, as there is very little\ndemand for the pelts and practically no demand for the meat.\nA few complaints were received of bear doing damage in the Division during the year.\nMoose.\u2014This is the first time I have had occasion to mention moose, but while at Pemberton\nrecently I learned from trappers of that district that a moose had been seen along the valley\nof the Upper Lillooet River.\nFur-bearing Animals.\nBeaver.\u2014These animals are not plentiful in this Division, except in the Upper Stave River,\nSkagit, and the Lillooet River Districts, where they are most confined to the lines of registered\ntrap-line holders.    The supply of beaver is about the same as in past years.\nMarten.\u2014These animals are just about holding their own, and, as they are very easily\ntrapped, it is felt that they would have been trapped out in many parts of the Division if it had\nnot been for the registration of trap-lines.\nMink.\u2014Mink are holding their own in most parts of the Division.\nMuskrats.\u2014These animals are again plentiful in spite of the fact that they have been\nheavily trapped in some localities. Trappers along the north side of the Fraser River, in the\nPitt River, Pitt Lake, Cloverdale, and Mission Districts have not been very successful in view\nof the fact of the heavy rains during September.\nOtter.\u2014Very few otter are to be found in this Division.\nRacoon.\u2014The usual number of racoon have been trapped, although prices for their pelts\nhave not been very encouraging.\nRed Fox.\u2014This animal is considered a pest, especially on the south side of the Fraser from\nChilliwack to Point Roberts, and every step is taken to prevent these animals increasing in\nthis district.\nUpland Game Birds.\nAVithout a doubt the season for the hunting of pheasants during the past year was exceptionally good. Many hunters obtained their daily bag limit on the opening day and a number\nobtained their season's limit during the season. The mild winter of 1930-31 no doubt had a\ngreat deal to do with the increase of pheasants, and the destruction of vermin by Game AVardens\nand others also was responsible for an increase in these birds. It is a \"known fact that cats,\ncrows, and other vermin account for far more birds than the hunters, and during the past two\nyears the Game AA7ardens in this Division destroyed 1,200 cats and 4,500 crows.\nCertain sportsmen recommend an open season on hen pheasants, but in my opinion no such\nopen season should be allowed.\nThe situation in respect to partridges was not very satisfactory. The season in this\nDivision has been closed, with the exception of a small district in Surrey lying between the\nGreat Northern Railway and the Pacific Highway.\nA few coveys of partridges were observed in the Delta and Sumas Districts, but they are\nnot in sufficient numbers to warrant any open season, although it is possible that a short open\nseason might be beneficial, as this would break up the coveys, and this is required in so far\nas partridges are concerned. A few partridges have been observed on Lulu Island and at\nPitt Meadows.\nAs was the case in 1930, the season on blue grouse was only fair. On the islands in Howe\nSound they appear to be scarce, but they were plentiful on Nelson Island. On the opening day\nof the season at Nelson Island I observed fifty-four of these birds.\nIn some localities ruffed grouse were fairly plentiful, and a number of these birds have been\nobserved during the close season in various parts of the Division.\nMigratory Game Birds.\nThe past season on ducks has, without a doubt, been the best since the fall of 1920, when\nthe farmers lost most of their grain through rain.    AAre were fortunate, from a sportsman's REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSIONER, 1931. H 23\npoint of view, in having early rains, and the ducks were in the fields long before the season\nopened, which has not been the case in past years.\nMallards appeared to be in the majority, although there were a large number of pin-tailed,\nwidgeons, and green-wing teal observed.\nThis winter has been fairly open and I have taken the opportunity of visiting some of the\nprivate game reserves in the Division, and from the number of ducks observed there, undoubtedly these reserves have a great deal to do with keeping the ducks in the Province and allowing\nthem to increase.\nOne of the reasons for feeling that ducks were more plentiful than last season was owing\nto the fact that a Game AVarden in this Division caught and banded as many ducks on the\nMcGillivray Creek Game Reserve in the first month of the past season as he and an assistant\ncaught and banded during three months in 1930.\nIt is a fact that the so-called drought of the Central Provinces of Canada has had no bad\neffect on the ducks migrating through this Division, and it is therefore felt that it is not at\nall necessary to curtail the season on ducks in this Division.\nAArood-ducks are very plentiful in certain parts of the Division.\nAA7ilson snipe afforded some splendid sport for those few sportsmen who hunt them. Snipe\nwere more plentiful during the past season than during 1930.\nSnow-geese have been very plentiful, but not very many of these birds were shot owing\nto the fact that they are hard to obtain, except during the very cold weather.\nBrant so far this season have appeared in fair numbers, but not very many of them were\nobtained owing to weather conditions. The majority of brant are obtained at Boundary Bay,\nalthough occasionally a few are obtained off Canoe Pass, AArestham Island, Mary Island near\nCortes Island, and I have observed a number in Sechelt Inlet.\nA few swans were obtained throughout the Division. Twenty-five of these birds were\nobserved flying south over Pitt Meadows and three were seen off the mouth of the Fraser, while\na similar number of these birds were observed near Lund.\nUndoubtedly band-tailed pigeons appear to be on the increase and complaints have been\nreceived throughout the year of their doing damage to crops. In September these birds were\na decided pest to the farmers on Sumas Prairie, as they were there in large numbers.\nVermin.\nCoyotes are not plentiful in this Division, although a few complaints have been received\nof their doing damage in the farming area.\nA complaint was received from Thurlow Island of wolves doing damage there, but, considering this Division as a whole, these animals are not plentiful.\nThere are very few cougar in this Division, although from time to time one or more of these\nanimals are killed.\nRed fox, skunk, and weasel should be classed as vermin in this Division, as they do untold\ndamage to domestic and game birds.\nThe Game AVardens in this Division have been very active in destroying crows. We have\ncontinued the operation of the crow-trap at Essondale, and as a result captured and destroyed\n694 crows. A similar trap has been tried in other parts of the Division without success.\nBig-horned and snowy owls have been scarce.\nThe following is a summary of the vermin killed by Game AVardens in this Division during\nthe year 1931:\u2014\nCrows   2,288 Cats         611\nEagles          35 Dogs        27\nOwls        14 Skunk          6\nHawks      118 Coyotes         1\nGame-protection.\nThe past year has been a difficult one from an enforcement standpoint, due to the general\ndepression. A great many of the. game violators were men out of work, and in some cases on\nrelief, and any fines imposed worked extreme hardships on the families of these men.\nThe Game AVardens have been as active as ever and were furnished every assistance by\nthe British Columbia Police throughout the Division. H 24 BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nProvincial Constables P. T. Davies (Port Coquitlam), J. D. H. Stewart (Agassiz), and\nAV. G. H. Gill (Squamish) have rendered the Department excellent assistance, as well as the\nConstables at North Bend, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, and Mission City. Assistant Commissioner AV. R. Dunwoody and Sub-Inspector J. Shirras, of the British Columbia Police, have\nbeen ready and willing at all times to assist this Department. The fullest co-operation exists\nbetween the Game and Police Departments.\nSome 251 prosecutions were conducted under the various Acts pertaining to game and fish,\nshowing a decrease of twenty-five compared to 1930.\nGame Associations throughout the Division have again given the Department very valuable\nassistance.\nGame Propagation.\nThe following is a list of the pheasants liberated throughout the Division during the past\nyear, these birds having been received from the Provincial Game Farm at Elk Lake, near\nA'ictoria, B.C. :\u2014\nAgassiz   85 Port Moody       26\nPitt Meadows  '.  109 North Vancouver       32\nSquamish   12 Mission      110\nSurrey-Langley   160 Chilliwack       160\nSunnyside  20 Delta     275\nPort Haney   10 loco        16\nLulu Island   125 Coquitlam         25\nHalfmoon Bay   11                                                                               \t\nSumas-Matsqui   225                        Total 1,411\nHopkins Landing   10                                                                                              ,\nThe Department is indebted to the Matsqui and Upper Sumas Game Associations for their\nco-operation with Game AVarden AA'illiams, of Abbotsford, in keeping over birds allotted for that\ndistrict in pens until the opening of the spring.\nGame Reserves.\nThe game reserves in this Division have been constantly patrolled. McGillivray Creek still\ncontinues as one of our most valuable reserves in so far as migratory birds are concerned.\nThe North Vancouver Reserve was extended slightly, taking in a portion of the settled area\nalong the water-front of AVest Vancouver. This was done more for the safety of the public.\nEncouraging reports have been received of the increase in the number of goats on the Goat\nIsland Reserve at Powell Lake.\nFur Trade.\nThe past season has been a disastrous one for the fur trade. This business is feeling the\ndepression more than any other class of business. The fur market, at the time of this report,\nis practically demoralized and it is certain that trappers are going to suffer.\nFur-farming.\nThe fur-farming industry has been badly hit, especially the larger mink and fox farms.\nThe overhead expense is great on such farms, and as a result they have been forced to pelt a\nlarge number of their animals. Farmed fur, for some unknown reason, does not bring a very\ngood price on the fur market.\nRegistration of Trap-lines.\nThe registration of trap-lines in this Division is practically complete and a number of\nregistration certificates have been issued. The system of registration is, without a doubt,\npopular with the trappers. It is felt that something should be done about a number of the\ntrap-lines registered in the names of Indians along the Coast, as information has been received\nof Indians holding trap-lines but not trapping them. If the Indian trapping licence could be\nmade compulsory, then these Indians would not wish to register so many lines.\nRegistration of Guides.\nThere is never any great demand for guides in this Division and those guides taking out\nlicences in Vancouver operate in some other part of the Province. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSIONER, 1931. H 25\nSpecial Patrols.\nVery few special patrols were conducted during the past year, as this was unnecessary in\nview of the fact that the Game AVardens in the Division were very active and visited most parts\nof their respective districts. A special patrol was made into the Upper Pitt River and Stave\nLake areas on a complaint from a party who had trapped there a few years ago. This patrol\nresulted in a number of convictions for violations of the \" Game Act.\"\nHunting Accidents.\nI regret to state that five deaths have occurred as a result of hunting accidents in this\nDivision. The total number of accidents amounted to sixteen, as compared with five for the\nseason 1930. Seven of these accidents were caused by the hunters' own carelessness, three of\nwhich were caused by dragging the gun towards them, muzzle first. Six of the accidents were\ncaused through the carelessness of other people.\nSummary-.\nThe season for the hunting of pheasants, ducks, and deer has been the best for some years,\nand game in general appeared to be on the increase throughout the Division.\nIt was expected that the revenue under the \" Game Act\" would fall off considerably owing\nto so many people being out of work, but it is pleasing to note that, comparing the revenue\nreceived in 1931 to 1930, during 1931 an increase has been observed.\nAgain I wish to mention that the officers and men of the British Columbia Police, the Game\nWardens in this Division, and the Game Associations of the Lower Mainland have co-operated\nto the greatest possible extent.\nREPORT ON OPERATIONS  OF THE ELK LAKE  GAME  FARM.\nBy Game AArARDEN J. AV. Jones.\nI respectfully submit my annual report dealing with the operations of the Elk Lake Game\nFarm during the past year.\nOwing to very heavy rains during June the conditions in respect to the rearing of pheasants\non the farm were very unsatisfactory.    In some parts of the rearing-fields coops were floating\nin the water and several hundred young birds were drowned.    Notwithstanding the difficult\ntime we had as a result of these weather conditions, a nice lot of birds were raised.\nParticulars of the birds raised, distributed, etc., are as follows:\u2014\nPheasants in pens, December 31st, 1930       900\nBreeding stock to the extent of (approximately)      400\nHen pheasants   (approximately)         320\nCock pheasants (approximately)          80\nStrayed from pens during year         14\nNumber of eggs laid  (approximately)      6,000\nSet under hens   4,500\nEggs hatched   3,800\nYoung pheasants raised     3,000\nCasualties owing to heavy rains       675\nStrayed from rearing-fields       125\nSmall late eggs used for feeding     '250\nEggs shipped out to farmers   1,175\nShipped or liberated     2,500\nBirds in pens, December 31st, 1931      500\nMelanistic mutant pheasants in pens as at December 31st, 1931         22\nStock birds          3\nYoung birds raised        19\nEggs laid      100\nEggs hatched        50\nPartridges in pens, December 31st, 1931         17\nBreeding stock          9\nYoung birds raised          8 H 26 BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nQuail in pens, December 31st, 1931         30\nTurkeys in pens, December 31st, 1931   3\nStock birds          3\nYoung birds raised         1\nEggs laid        40\nEggs hatched         10\nUnfertile eggs         30\nGeese: Two settings of eggs were obtained from Penticton, but only two\nbirds were hatched, the remaining eggs proving unfertile.    These\ntwo geese were liberated on the Elk Lake Game Reserve.\nVermin destroyed.\u2014Cats, 75 ;  hawks, 55;  barn-rats, 150.\nIn regard to the melanistic mutant pheasants, eight hens and two cock birds were obtained\nin the spring of 1931. These birds arrived in a very weak condition, and some of them died\nshortly after. As a result of these birds being in a weak condition, the young birds, when\nhatched, could not survive, and only nineteen birds remain. These birds, however, are in good\ncondition, and it is hoped we will have better success with them during the coming year.\nIn order to continue the raising of partridges, it will be necessary to obtain some new stock,\nwhich also applies in respect to wild turkeys.\nAs well as the work carried on on the Game Farm, game patrols have been maintained, as\nwell as looking into complaints in regard to cougar doing damage. Three cougar were killed\nduring the year.\nAPPENDIX.\nPage.\nStatement showing estimated expenditure, fiscal year, 1931-32  26\nRevenue derived from sale of resident firearms licences, 1931
