Increased revenue naturally means an increase in the number of licences\nissued over previous years, and consequently also means a heavier demand upon our\nwild-life resources.\nThe total revenue, including fines imposed for violations of the Game and other\nActs and regulations, amounted to $930,720.65, representing an increase of $129,871.50\nover the previous year. It might be mentioned that this increase was due principally\nto the issuance of 23,829 more angling and hunting licences, the sale of more game tags,\nand the collection of additional fur royalties and trophy fees. Particulars covering the\nsale of hunting and angling licences are set out hereunder:\u2014\nKind of Licence Number Issued        Revenue Received\nNon-resident anglers' licences  27,953 $165,859.00\nNon-resident firearms (hunting) licences 3,441 84,650.00\nResident anglers' licences  87,055 87,055.00\nResident firearms (hunting) licences  81,592 318,946.00\nTotals  200,041        $656,510.00\nThe foregoing figures, as previously stated, cover an additional 23,829 hunting and\nangling licences over the previous year, and $102,602.50 enlarged licence revenue over\n1950. Non-resident hunters obtained 2,549 big-game trophies, or 448 more trophies\nover the previous year, with an increase of $25,510 in payment of trophy fees. The total\namount paid as trophy fees by these non-resident hunters was $113,655, and was paid on\nthe following big-game animals:\u2014\nBear (grizzly)   112 Mountain-goat       198\nBear (black or brown)  164 Mountain-sheep      101\nCaribou     75 Moose   1,389\nDeer (Coast)        4 Wapiti (elk)       114\nDeer (mule or white-tailed) 392\nIncreased revenue naturally means heavier pressure on our wild-life resources, but\nyour Commission is of the opinion that our game resources are in a very healthy\ncondition. We must, however, emphasize the fact that in order to keep our game\npopulations intact, we must thoroughly understand wild-life conditions in every section\nof the Province, not only from an administrative and scientific standpoint, but from the\nstandpoint of the sportsmen as well. In our scientific approach to our work in managing\nthe wild-life resources of the Province, we feel that we have made considerable progress.\nMany problems are being scientifically investigated, and conclusive findings or reports\nare being submitted. These reports are constantly before us and are given very careful\nconsideration, and recommendations submitted are acted upon as needs arise and in\nkeeping with Departmental policy.\nDuring the year under review our Scientific Branch has grown and has been\nconfronted with many problems that have arisen, and that are still before us. Many of\nthese problems were not anticipated, and consequently our appropriation for scientific\ninvestigation had to be overexpended. These problems were principally created through\nenlarged activity on the part of industry and due to the need of our having to investigate\napproximately 600 applications for water rights.   Investigations were necessary on the\n7 E 8 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nactivities of the British Columbia Electric Railway Company at Jones Lake; the projects\nof the British Columbia Power Commission at Buttle Lake, Clowhom Falls, and other\nplaces; the project of the Aluminum Company of Canada Limited in the Tweedsmuir\nPark area; the project of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company in respect\nto the Pend d'Orielle River; the Okanagan flood-control project on Okanagan River and\nLake; the Libby Dam project; the development of the Puget Sound Power and Light\nCompany on the Skagit River; the Nanaimo Lakes project of the H. R. MacMillan\nExport Company Limited; and several other projects entailing considerable time and\nexpenditures which had not been provided for in our appropriation.\nIt is deemed necessary at this time to mention that the projects referred to were of\nsuch importance that immediate investigations were imperative, and while the cost of\ncarrying out these investigations has been borne by the Department, with one exception,\nit is felt that there should be some provision whereby companies or individuals responsible\nfor such investigations should furnish the necessary moneys to carry them out. In this\nregard, we feel that it is only right to mention that the Consolidated Mining and Smelting\nCompany Limited has been most generous in providing financial assistance to enable us\nto carry out investigations in respect to their development work. During the hearing\nbefore the Comptroller of Water Rights on the application of the British Columbia Power\nCommission for permission to dam Buttle Lake, assurance was given that financial\nassistance would be forthcoming for the necessary alterations to the Puntledge Park\nTrout Hatchery on Vancouver Island, and that a substantial sum of money would be\nprovided for maintaining the fisheries of Buttle Lake.\nThe investigations referred to have been under the capable supervision of Chief\nFisheries Biologist Dr. P. A. Larkin and Chief Game Biologist James Hatter, and we\nhave also been indebted to our honourary scientific advisers, Drs. W. A. Clemens and\nIan McTaggart Cowan, of the Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia,\nfor their valuable assistance and untiring efforts.\nOur Predator-control Branch, under the supervision of W. Winston Mair, has just\ncompleted a most successful year in which a campaign was waged on predatory animals\nthroughout the Central Interior and southern portions of the Province. The results\nobtained have demonstrated beyond doubt what can be accomplished by the careful use\nof the poison known as \" 1080 \" in the control of coyotes, wolves, and bears. Claims for\nbounty on coyotes throughout the Province, no doubt as a result of this predator-control\ncampaign, dropped from 9,822 for 1950 to 5,202 in 1951. Our records indicate that the\nprincipal decrease in bounty payments was in the areas covered by the campaign referred\nto. Elsewhere in this Report will be found a review by W. Winston Mair, Supervisor of\nPredator-control, in which is outlined the activities of the Predator-control Branch, and\ninformation as to the general predator situation throughout the Province.\nWe again operated a game-checking station at Cache Creek, and information and\nresults obtained provided us with very valuable scientific data and enabled us to supply\nvery valuable information to sportsmen passing through this station to their respective\nhunting territories. The checking-station also was a means of providing more adequate\nenforcement of the \" Game Act,\" and last, but not least, we were able to offer protection\nto the cattlemen of the Interior by checking on the transport of illegally taken domestic\nmeat.\nOne hundred and twenty-one convictions were recorded through this station covering violations of the Game and other Acts, and the Game and Sport-fishery Regulations.\nA considerable amount of revenue and a saving in commission payments covering the\ncollection of this revenue was also due to the operations of this checking-station.\nIt is of interest to note that the following trophies were cleared through the Cache\nCreek Checking-station:\u2014 REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION,  1951 E 9\nBear (grizzly)   19 Moose   2,270\nBear (black or brown) 137 Mountain-goat   40\nDeer  1,735 Mountain-sheep   9\nCaribou  2 Wapiti (Elk)   2\nDucks  5,790 Grouse   11,876\nGeese       368 Pheasants   77\nCougar   3 Coyotes   50\nGame fish   10,298\nA total of 12,132 hunters and fishermen were checked through this station, and\nthis total was made up of 9,809 residents and 2,242 non-residents.\nRevenue was collected through this station as follows:\u2014\nNon-resident big-game trophies   $68,800.00\nPremium on United States funds       1,781.68\nFines        1,375.00\nCourt costs  363.00\nTotal   $72,319.68\nThe organized sportsmen of the Province have been very active in the interests of\nour wild life, and it was largely through their efforts in acquainting their local legislative\nrepresentatives with their problems and the necessity of complete recognition of the\nvalue of our fish and game resources that an amendment to section 82 of the \" Game\nAct\" was introduced and approved during the 1951 Session of the Legislature. This\namendment provides that 75 per cent of the revenue of the Department each year can\nbe used in our game-management work, and 25 per cent turned over to the Government\nas a return from a natural resource. If any portion of the 75 per cent referred to is\nunexpended, then such unexpended portion is placed in a conservation fund for future\nuse of the Department. We could refer to this amendment as being a \" new deal\" for\ngame management in British Columbia, and it is felt that over a period of years it will\nprovide the means of building up a financial reserve that will enable the Department to\nundertake and carry out all major wild-life investigations.\nAlong with the amendment referred to, a resolution from the organized sportsmen\nrequesting increased fees for various licences under the \" Game Act\" was approved,\nand this will enable us\u2014even though the cost of our administration has risen greatly\u2014\nto meet the ever-increasing pressure on our wild-life resources.\nCarrying out our usual policy, another Provincial Game Convention was convened\nwith the approval of the Minister in charge of the Department, the Honourable the\nAttorney-General. This Convention, which was held in Vancouver in the latter part of\nApril, was very successful, and these annual gatherings have been the means of creating\nbetter feeling and relations between the organized sportsmen and the Department, as\nwell as other organizations, such as trappers, cattlemen, farmers, etc.\nUPLAND GAME BIRDS\nIn 1951 the pheasant situation improved, due principally to a mild winter followed\nby a favourable hatching season. Conditions on the Lower Mainland showed a noticeable improvement over the previous two years. Pheasant populations in the Interior,\nwhile showing an improvement, have not advanced to the point where we can relax on\nbag-limits or length of season. We have received many and varied opinions as to the\nreasons for the decrease in the number of pheasants in the Interior sections of the Province, and our game biologists are continuing their investigations in this regard.\nGrouse populations were good and came up to the expectations expressed in our\nlast Annual Report. E 10 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nMIGRATORY GAME BIRDS\nThe months of January and February provided the finest brant-hunting experienced\non the Coast for some considerable time. There was a great demand for available\nhunting-sites in the Boundary Bay district where, owing to the size of the area, strong\nsupervision and regulations are required. We were in receipt of, and favourably acted\nupon, a request for more strict regulations.\nThe number of ducks exceeded expectations, and taking the Province as a whole,\nwild-fowl conditions were much better than for some years. There was, however, some\ndisappointment in the duck-crop in the Cariboo regions, but this was purely a local\nsituation. The split open seasons of the past were discarded, and, as a result, sportsmen\nwere favoured with a sixty-day continuous open season instead of a forty-five-day open\nseason when the split seasons were allowed. Sportsmen, however, are not unanimous on\nthe question of a straight or split season, and this subject, no doubt, will be fully aired this\ncoming spring. Some dissatisfaction was expressed in the Interior in regard to the open\nseasons allowed, especially throughout the Okanagan. A further effort will be made in\nthe coming year to impress upon the Canadian Wildlife Service at Ottawa the necessity\nof more fully agreeing and favourably acting upon our problems and recommendations.\nBIG GAME\nBig-game populations throughout the Province showed improvement over the previous year due, no doubt, to the fact that the past two winters have been favourable. Our\npredator-control programme has also, no doubt, been responsible for improvement in\nrespect to deer. The moose is still the drawing-card, and from our investigations they\nare becoming more plentiful in the Cariboo section, and in some instances our biologists\nfeel that a heavier kill would be beneficial to our moose populations. Moose are becoming more plentiful south of the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the vicinity\nof the height of land lying between the Okanagan and Merritt districts. This area has\nbeen investigated, but we do not, however, propose to recommend any open season for\nthe hunting of moose in this area.\nBig-game trophies taken by non-resident sportsmen during the year numbered\n2,549, representing an increase of 448 more trophies over the previous year. Some\nconcern has been expressed by our own sportsmen that our big-game populations are\nbeing depleted. An examination of our records, however, indicates that the ratio of\nsuccess from a non-resident hunter's point of view is exactly the same as it was eighteen\nyears ago, 73.7 per cent, in spite of an over-all increase in non-resident hunting licences\nof 2,877 per cent.\nGAME-LAWS ENFORCEMENT\nWith increased hunting pressure there has been a corresponding increase in violations of the law. A detailed statement of the prosecutions conducted during the year will\nbe found elsewhere in this Report. Examination of this statement will show an increase\nin the total prosecutions from 1,359 in 1950 to 1,489 in 1951, with a corresponding\nincrease in fines from $22,923 to $24,087.50. As in former years, the principal violations have been for hunting or angling without licences and carrying loaded firearms in\nor discharging same from automobiles.\nWe are very pleased indeed with the support we have received, and still are receiving,\nfrom our Magistrates in regard not only to this latter offence, but for other violations.\nIn spite of our activities over the past years, we are still confronted with that despicable offence of pit-lamping or hunting deer at night, and during the year there were nine\nsuccessful prosecutions conducted. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION, 1951 E 11\nGAME-FISH CULTURE\nThe importance of our Game-fish Culture Branch, and the necessity of further\nexpansion in its activities, is becoming more and more apparent. Approximately 15,000\nadditional angling licences were issued over the past year, and out of a total of 200,041\nhunting and angling licences, 115,008 were for fishing, this number comprising 87,055\nresident and 27,953 non-resident angling licences.\nDuring the year a great number of unforeseen problems arose through inroads by\nindustry and demand for water power, coupled with increased pollution of fishable waters.\nThe proposed trout-hatchery mentioned in our last Report\u2014to be constructed in the\nvicinity of Loon Lake\u2014was completed in plenty of time to produce trout for the necessary\nstocking of many lakes in the Lillooet and Cariboo Districts. While there is a growing\ndemand for additional hatcheries in the Shuswap Lake region and in the northern sections\nof the Province, it is felt that construction of such hatcheries should be delayed pending\ncompletion of investigations now in progress or contemplated by our Game-fish Cultural\nScientific Branch.\nACKNOWLEDGMENTS\nAs in former years, it has been our distinct pleasure and privilege to attend many\nmeetings of the Cattlemen's Associations and Farmers' Institutes and Game Associations\nin different sections of the Province, and we wish at this time to thank these organizations\nfor their splendid co-operation, and, coupled with this, we fully appreciate the co-operation\nextended by all Provincial and Federal Government departments. The co-operation of\nour own personnel in all branches of the Department has been excellent, and it is a great\npleasure to us to advise that every employee of the Department is fully conscious of the\nneed of constant supervision of our wild-life resources.\n\"A\" DIVISION (VANCOUVER ISLAND, THE GULF ISLANDS, AND THE\nMAINLAND COAST FROM TOBA INLET NORTH TO CAPE CAUTION,\nINCLUDING THE ISLANDS ADJACENT TO THE EAST COAST OF VANCOUVER ISLAND NORTH OF CAMPBELL RIVER).\nBy G. C. Stevenson, Officer Commanding\nI have the honour to submit my annual report covering game and fish conditions in\n\"A\" Division for the year ended December 31st, 1951.\nBig Game\nElk.\u2014Little change is noted in the numbers of these animals from last year, and the\nvarious herds scattered throughout Vancouver Island are holding their own. A well-\nknown trapper reported seeing seven cow elk, all with calves, at the headwaters of the\nSalmon River. These calves were observed during the month of July, and would indicate\nthe calf survival is improving. Heretofore, the scarcity of elk calves has puzzled\nobservers, and many reasons have been advanced. As the Commission is in the process\nof conducting a biological survey of the elk, many, so far obscure, reasons will, no doubt,\ncome to light.\nDeer.\u2014Owing to a fairly mild winter the survival rate of yearlings and under was\nfairly good and a definite increase in deer population was noticeable in the southern part\nof Vancouver Island. In the Sayward area these animals were not plentiful, but all\nappeared to be in exceptionally good condition, even those observed late in November\nin the vicinity of Brown's Bay were remarkably fat. Due to the forest closure, deer-\nhunting did not commence until October 1st, and comparatively few animals were taken\nuntil the latter part of the month and the two weeks in November. Though deer are still\nplentiful, the hunting of these animals is not the simple matter it was in the past, and skill\nand perseverance are now called for in order to achieve success. E 12 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nBlack Bear.\u2014These animals are numerous throughout the Island, and some exceptionally large specimens are to be encountered in the mountains west of Courtenay.\nGrizzly Bear.\u2014These bear are plentiful at the head of Toba and Knight Inlets.\nSome are also reported in the Loughborough Inlet region. One grizzly was taken on the\nKlinaklini River flats, at the head of Knight Inlet, this year, which is considered a\nworld record.\nFur-bearing Animals\nAll fur-bearers, with the possible exception of muskrats, are plentiful in this Division.\nThe increase in the beaver population is very noticeable, and often necessitates control\nmeasures in order to safeguard agricultural land. Racoon have made an exceptional\nincrease in spite of a year-round open season. Market values for racoon-pelts are to a\nlarge measure responsible for trappers ignoring them, thereby leaving them to multiply.\nUpland Game Birds\nBlue Grouse.\u2014These birds have shown no sign of decreasing up to now, in spite of\nthe heavy hunting pressure. During the past season the harvest of these birds did not\nattain the same percentage as the previous year, but this could be accounted for by the\nfact that the opening season was interrupted by a forest closure, and also by the fact that\nmany of the birds had commenced to move from the breeding-grounds by the time the\nseason opened. It is thought the extreme dryness prevailing at the time could have caused\nthis movement. The Commission is conducting'a very interesting study of blue grouse,\nthrough their biological staff, which will no doubt reveal many peculiar traits of these\nbirds.\nWillow Grouse.\u2014These birds show a marked improvement in numbers and have\ndefinitely benefited by the protection they have been afforded in recent years.\nPheasants.\u2014These birds continue to be a problem in most parts of the Island. On\nthe one hand we have sportsmen clamouring for more and more pheasants, and on\nthe other hand we have farmers strenuously objecting to the release of the birds on their\nproperty. During the past year members of Game Associations in and around the Saanich\narea worked very harmoniously with the local farmers, and in consequence the Commission was able to release a large number of pheasants, but in other parts of the Island, with\nthe possible exception of the Comox-Courtenay area, the reception of pheasants by the\nfarmers is not so cordial. Much of this attitude is due to the sportsmen themselves, who\nseldom consider the farmer or his property. Members of Game Associations must make\na very definite effort to work with the agricultural interests before the pheasant population can be appreciably increased. Nevertheless, there is a very substantial number of\npheasants to be found on the Island, and although a considerable section of the birds may\nbe in areas where hunting is prohibited, they, none the less, provide a definite and protected breeding stock.\nMigratory Game Birds\nThere has been a plentiful supply of ducks and geese throughout this Division, and\nsportsmen enjoyed some good duck-shooting on the Island; Tofino, on the west coast,\ncontinues to attract very large numbers of wild fowl, and exceptional goose-shooting can\nbe found there. Black brant made their appearance in large numbers all along the east\ncoast of Vancouver Island, and hunters had very excellent sport.\nPredator-control\nThere were 275 cougar and 3 wolves destroyed in this Division during the past year.\nOf these, 33 were accounted for by Departmental hunters and Game Wardens. A condition exists in this Division, as regards the cougar, which at times is difficult to cope with.\nThis situation arises from the fact that there have been two attacks on humans by cougar\nin recent years; one was fatal, and the other required prolonged hospital treatment.   In REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION, 1951 E 13\nconsequence of these attacks, this Department cannot ignore calls for assistance by people\nliving in remote areas, who fear for themselves and their children. Departmental hunters\nwho have been allotted tasks of ridding certain defined areas of cougar have to be taken\nfrom their work and sent to answer these calls, very often at considerable cost of time and\nmoney. Furthermore, these calls cannot be ignored for fear of responsibility should a\nresident be killed or injured. Some criticism has been levied by the uninformed regarding\nthe number of cougars killed by Departmental hunters, but they fail to take into consideration the time spent in answering calls by residents from all parts of the Island.\nMany hawks, owls, crows, ravens, racoons, and stray cats have been destroyed by\nGame Wardens of this Division during the course of their regular patrols. A number of\ndogs actually found in the act of running deer have also been destroyed.\nGame Protection\nThere were 205 informations laid under the \" Game Act\" and Fisheries Regulations\nfor various infractions.\nGame Propagation\nReleases of pheasants were made in the Saanich, Metchosin, Alberni, Nanaimo, and\nthe Courtenay-Comox areas during the year. These liberations were made with the\nassistance of members of the Game Associations in whose areas the birds were released.\nGame Reserves\nReserves are maintained at Shaw Creek, Strathcona Park, Bald Mountain, Elk Lake,\nElk Falls, and China Creek.   There are also a number of lesser reserves throughout the\nIsland.\nFur Trade\nA considerable number of farm-raised pelts move through, this Division, but most\nof the wild fur is shipped direct to Vancouver, as there is practically no trading in raw\nfurs in Victoria.\nRegistration of Trap-lines\nThe system of trap-line registration continues to be an outstanding success in this\nProvince, and amendments and adjustments have been made from time to time that have\nnow made the system a model in Canada.   Practically no difficulty is encountered with any\nof the trappers, and they themselves jealously guard their rights and privileges under the\nregistration system.   Fur-bearers continue to be abundant, but the squirrel and marten\npopulation will have to be watched if forest-management schemes continue to use poison\nfor the destruction of mice on any large scale, as marten practically live on mice and\nsquirrels.\nRegistration of Guides\nThis Division does not possess many guides, and the few there are centre around the\nCampbell River and Cowichan Districts.\nSpecial Patrols\nOne special patrol was made by Game Warden W. S. Webb, of Alberni, who covered\na large section on the west coast of the Island, calling in at many remote settlements\nseldom visited owing to transportation difficulties.\nHunting Accidents\n\u2022\nJanuary 1st, 1951, William Morgan, of 1330 Slater Street, Victoria, B.C., accidentally shot himself with a .22 rifle in the foot.   Not serious.\nOctober 1st, 1951, Howard Eckhart, of Duncan, V.I., accidentally shot by companion in mistake for deer.   Fatal. E 14 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nGame-fish Culture\nA total of 340,500 Kamloops-trout fingerlings were reared at the Department's\nhatchery at Puntledge Park during the year. These were planted in lakes throughout the\nDivision, according to the food content of the lake in question and the intensity with\nwhich it was fished. Several rivers also received a planting. A detailed statement of\nrestockings will be found elsewhere in the Annual Report.\nSummary and General Remarks\nOwing to a forest closure due to fire-hazard, hunting of blue grouse and deer was\ndelayed during the early part of the season, but the general harvest of game has been\ngood. Ducks and geese were in good numbers, and during the early part of the year\nbrant-shooting was excellent.\nThe rapid expansion of industry and logging is penetrating deeper into game habitat\nevery year, but present regulations and administration is maintaining a sound and well-\nbalanced conservation policy.\nThis Division has received excellent co-operation from the Royal Canadian Mounted\nPolice in regard to road checks for game. May I take this opportunity of expressing my\nthanks and appreciation to the Officer Commanding Victoria Subdivision, Royal Canadian Mounted Police.\nTo the personnel of \"A\" Game Division I extend my sincere appreciation for the\nexcellent manner in which they have at all times carried out their duties and maintained\ncordial relationship with the public.\n\" B \" DIVISION (KOOTENAY AND BOUNDARY DISTRICTS)\nBy C. F. Kearns, Officer Commanding\nI beg to submit herewith my annual report for the year ended December 31st, 1951.\nBig Game\nWapiti (Elk).\u2014This animal is the chief attraction in the East Kootenay, where a\nquite heavy bag was taken throughout the district from Golden to the border. They\ncontinue to extend their range and, together with the planting at the head of Kootenay\nLake, it may soon be possible to have a further open season in the West Kootenay to\nsupplement the short three-day season in the Creston area.\nThe small stand of elk in the Princeton area appears to be holding its own; also\nnear Naramata on the east side of Okanagan Lake they are extending their range and\nshow promise of a slight over-all strengthening of their numbers in spite of the open\nseasons and the taking of a fair number of bulls.\n\u2022 Moose.\u2014The month's open season (October) in the East Kootenay was satisfactory. Setting the season back two weeks had a beneficial effect, as they were to some\nextent distributed from the sloughs and ponds. The later season is approved by the\nmajority of hunters, and should hunting pressure increase, it might profitably set it\nback even further.\nMountain-sheep.\u2014While these animals have not yet recovered their former numbers, they are showing signs of a healthy increase, and the month's open season has\ndone no harm. The number of sheep taken throughout the district is very small and\nmostly secured by non-resident hunters.\nThe situation of the small bands on the Ashnola River in the vicinity of Okanagan\nFalls has not altered, although these animals have been the object of continued scientific\ninvestigation.\nMountain-goat.\u2014Goat are well distributed throughout the Division but are not\nplentiful, except in some sections of the East Kootenay where it appears there has been REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION, 1951 E 15\na decline in their over-all numbers. They continue to increase noticeably in the West\nKootenay-Boundary-Similkameen area. As these animals have become increasingly\npopular of late years, a reduction of the bag-limit was a step in the right direction.\nCaribou.\u2014Mostly present in the Selkirk Mountains from the east side of Arrow\nLake to the west side of Kootenay Lake, but perhaps more plentiful at the northern end\nof both lakes. The reported kill was light, but sufficient to indicate that these animals\nare maintaining their numbers.\nDeer (Mule).\u2014Plentiful throughout the Division, and the one-buck bag-limit this\nyear met with general approval, except in a few localities. More hunters and a depleted\n(compared to a few years ago) deer population made the reduced bag necessary.\nWhite-tailed Deer.\u2014Well distributed except in the Boundary-Similkameen District.\nElsewhere they are not as plentiful as in former years.\nGrizzly Bear.\u2014Found throughout the Division, with possibly more animals in the\nKootenays, particularly the West Kootenay. The prohibition of sale of grizzly-hides\nmight be advisable and tend to discourage local hunting with a view to selling the skin.\nThese animals are a potent attraction for non-resident hunters.\nBlack Bear.\u2014Plentiful throughout the Division and the occasion of some complaints from farmers and fruit-growers during the year. These complaints were attended\nto with good results by the Predator Animal staff and the local Game Wardens.\nFur-bearing Animals\nThe price of furs has increased somewhat, but with prevailing high wages there is\nlittle incentive to trap; unless a trapper has a very good line, he can make more in\nindustry. However, the present low trend of fur prices will contribute to the replenishment of trap-fines.\nUpland Game Birds\nRuffed (Willow) Grouse.\u2014Willow grouse were generally well distributed throughout the Division, with good numbers observed after the close of the season.\nFranklin's Grouse.\u2014Not as plentiful as the ruffed grouse, but are well distributed.\nMore numerous in East Kootenay than elsewhere.\nBlue Grouse.\u2014Very plentiful in the East and West Kootenays and reasonably so\nin the remainder of the Division. The reported apparent scarcity of these birds is not\nalways borne out by facts. Some observers are too prone to decry the lack of blue\ngrouse when these birds are really on their early-autumn range, which is at timber-line.\nSharp-tailed Grouse.\u2014A short open season on these birds in the East Kootenay\ndoes not seem to have affected their stand. However, they are local in the area from\nCranbrook to Windermere. Their decline and near elimination in the Lower Okanagan-\nSimilkameen has not altered in recent years, and it is doubtful if they will ever come\nback due to the encroachment of agriculture.\nPheasants.\u2014There was no open season in the Creston district, and short ones in\nthe Similkameen and Grand Forks areas. These birds seem to be recovering something\nof their former numbers after the recent unaccountable decline.\nThe same remarks apply to Hungarian partridge, while quail in the Similkameen-\nOkanagan seemed to be in good numbers as compared to other years.\nMigratory Game Birds\nSpring and early summer conditions were good, and the season could be considered\na normal one for young broods. A resident population of perhaps 1,000 ducks, of\nwhich mallards, lesser scaups, and redheads are in the majority, winter in the vicinity\nof Nelson and are fed during the severe weather. Presumably a number of these birds\nhave lost their migrating urge. E 16 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nCreston, the Duncan Lake area, and the Columbia River sloughs from Canal Flats\nas far as Golden are the chief nesting areas, although every small lake in the Division\nseems to support at least one flock of water-fowl. The bag taken by hunters in this part\nof the Province is only a tithe of the water-fowl that are raised here.\nPredatory Animals and Noxious Birds\nThe following vermin were destroyed by game personnel during the year: 56\ncougars, 42 coyotes, 4 bobcats, 3 bears, 29 hawks, 260 crows, 26 domestic ownerless\ndogs, 58 wild house cats, 14 owls, 49 ravens, 15 eagles, 56 magpies, 21 magpie-eggs, 27\nmergansers, 4 rattlesnakes.\nThis does not include the results of hunting done by Predatory Animal Hunters\nHaskell and Morigeau, whose activities will no doubt be summarized by the Supervisor\nof Predator-control.\nHowever, I think I should mention that all ranks have been active in combating\npredators, and that the Game Wardens have co-operated in distributing coyote baits prepared by Predatory-animal Hunter Haskell. This work involves considerable detail, particularly around the settled areas, and a great deal of co-operation with resident farmers.\nWe have been very free during the past year of complaints, although there were one or\ntwo instances where dogs apparently had access to these baits. As these dogs were some\nmiles from home, it is not felt that the Department was culpable.\nReports of coyotes being thinned down by the use of poison baits has been very\nencouraging, and the steady inroads made on the cougar population as well should be of\ngreat benefit to the game.\nGame Protection\nThere were 177 prosecutions under the \"Game Act\" or Special Fisheries Regulations during the year.\nGame Propagation\nNo plantings of game birds were made during the year. It is to be hoped that sufficient information will soon be collected on the pheasants in this part of the Interior to\nenable a programme of restocking in an effort to establish the former good stands of these\nbirds in the Lower Okanagan-Similkameen, Grand Forks, and Creston areas. We can\nconcede that our plantings in other localities have not been as successful as we hoped,\nbut we did have good shooting in the areas mentioned above, and it is to be hoped that\nthey may again be brought back to their former high productive level.\nGame Reserves\nThe Elk River Reserve, comprising the upper watershed of the Elk and Bull Rivers,\nalso White River, is the most important one, as it is situated in the heart of the big-game\ncountry.\nGame-bird sanctuaries at Nelson and Vaseaux Lake, south of Penticton, are also\nbeneficial, and their establishment continues to meet with general approval.\nDeer sanctuaries exist at Elko, Canal Flats, and the Kettle River. These are located\non winter yarding-grounds and serve as a haven should unusual conditions occur during\nthe open season when deer might be too easily taken.\nFur Trade\nMost of the fur of this Division is handled by local resident fur-traders or sent to\ntraders in Vancouver.   Very little fur is exported locally from the Province by trappers.\nRegistration of Trap-lines\nThis is a good system, and there would seem to be no criticism of its operations, as\nthe trappers who hold the lines are satisfied. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION,  1951 E 17\nRegistration of Guides\nWe now appear to have reasonably satisfactory arrangements for guides, and much\nof the dissatisfaction of former years with regard to guiding territory seems to have disappeared. Guides have realized the value of control, and we only have to suggest that\nwe revert to the old system of uncontrolled guiding to have an almost unanimous protest\nagainst such a course.\nSpecial Patrols\nWe have none under the particular heading other than routine patrols which have\nbeen made during the year on horseback, on foot, and with rowboats in the course of\ngeneral duties. A great many patrols have been made on foot during the winter by the\npersonnel hunting cougars or other predators, and considerable information is available\non winter conditions for game as a result of this particular activity.\nHunting Accidents\nP. Kazakoff, of Nelson, B.C., accidentally shot himself in the toe with a 30.30 rifle.\nTuno Green, of Oliver, B.C., also did the same with a .22. A .22 in the hands of his\n12-year-old stepsister, who stumbled, also wounded James Whaley, of Rossland, B.C.\nNone of the above wounds was serious.\nNorman Pratt, of Palliser, B.C., died from natural causes while hunting in the mountains near home. Vern Weber, of Lodi, Calif., died as a result of being thrown from a\nsaddle-horse while hunting in the Fernie district.\nRay Olson, of Marysville, B.C., was drowned in Horsethief Creek, Windermere,\nwhile on a fishing-trip. An overhead-cable car sagged into the swift water and threw him\nand a companion into the stream. His companion swam to shore but Olson was not\nseen again.\nSummary and General Remarks\nWe are still suffering from a cycle of hard winters, although the past one, 1950-51,\nwas average, and the present one, 1951-52, at this date, January 31st, gives promise of\nbeing also average. We still have not recovered the game stands that we had prior to the\nwinter of 1946-47, but it seems reasonable to expect that, given a fair break in the winter\nseasons, we can again expect an increase in our game herds.\nWe can take some credit in meeting the situation as we have during the past five\nyears. We have curtailed our big-game bag-limits very drastically, and this has been done\nwith the approval of the organized sportsmen. We have been most assiduous in controlling predators in this Division, and no doubt this also has had some bearing on our\ngame stands.\nNevertheless, we are faced with the spectre of an ever-increasing number of hunters\nwho pour into the very accessible game district during the hunting season. So far this\nhas not been too much of a problem, but it is increasing every fall.\nAn example was in the very good area in the vicinity of Wardner, or roughly between\nWardner and Elko in the vicinity of the junction of the Bull and Kootenay Rivers. In\nthis easily accessible area, bisected by the main highway and traversed by local roads in\nmany directions, an estimated several hundred elk were killed. During the months of\nOctober and November this area was continuously hunted by an energetic and active\narray of hunters, the majority of whom seemed to be successful.\nThe number of elk was rather surprising, although we have known for a long time\nthat these animals were increasing in that vicinity. But what we did not anticipate was\nthat they would be present in such large numbers so early in the season, as they usually\nwait for the snow to bring them out of the mountains. It is very fortunate that we did\nnot allow an open season on female elk, as some people had suggested, because it would\nhave had the effect of eliminating breeding stock. E 18 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nThe moose season of one month was fairly satisfactory, but we had some opposition\nwhen opening a two weeks' season in the Cranbrook area. This was from local residents\nwho refused to admit that moose have increased to the point where a number of mature\nbulls could be taken. We did not agree with the view-point, and the few animals taken\nbear out our contention that a small bag would do no harm.\nThe reduction of the deer season met with general approval, although it was noted\nthat more youths and women who accompanied their husbands hunting took out deer\nlicences than was formerly the case. Not so many deer were bagged as in other years in\nthe Kootenays because the weather conditions were good, and at the close of the season\non November 30th the snowfall had not been sufficient to force them to the lower level.\nThe bag in the Similkameen-Okanagan was normal.\nAn extended buck and doe season for two weeks was permitted in a portion of the\nNelson-Creston district and was generally satisfactory. The weather at the close of the\nseason was still good, and no undue bag of either sex was noted.\nIn previous Reports I have mentioned the fact that the halcyon days of yesterday\nwhere game was concerned in this part of British Columbia appear to be over. Through\nthe courtesy of .the District Forester, the writer was privileged to inspect two remote\nlakes\u2014one in the Selkirks and one in the Rockies\u2014during the summer. The information\nas to the success of the trout planting of these lakes was very gratifying, but the easy\nmethod of reaching a game area was even more revealing. There is no doubt that the\ntime will soon be with us when some of the big-game hunting in this area will be done\nusing aeroplanes for transportation, and we should, if possible, continue to keep our\nregulations up to date where aeroplanes are concerned in the game field. At present\nremote lakes are being fished by aeroplane parties with apparent satisfaction.\nOne of the matters that has given us considerable concern is the energetic way in\nwhich roads are being made into hitherto inaccessible timber lands. This has the effect\nof making it easy for everyone to get into a really good game country early in the year.\nHitherto, we did not expect too large a take of the big-game animals\u2014elk, sheep, or\ngoats\u2014until winter conditions had forced them to lower altitudes near the end of the\nseason. We do not have enough big-game animals for everybody, and in lieu of a system\nof rationing them, it seems we will be obliged to close or restrict certain districts for these\nanimals, possibly with a year-to-year rotation.\nIt should be remembered that the very good game country is definitely limited\nbecause a great deal of the Kootenays is heavily wooded and does not support much\ngame. In this connection we can view with interest the proposed developments of the\npulp and paper corporations as well as the forest management licences shortly to be put\ninto effect in this area. This will no doubt result in a great deal of the present heavily\ntimbered areas being cleared, and the resultant browse and open spaces should provide a\ngreat deal of new pasturage for the deer animals.\nIf our experience in the past in other parts of the Province can be repeated in the\nKootenays, then we can look forward to better deer-hunting in the West Kootenay area.\nIn closing, the usual cordial co-operation was received during the year from the\norganized sportsmen and the usual Government departments. I should like specifically\nto thank the District Forester at Nelson and his field staff for a great deal of extra-\ncurricula help and advice rendered to this Department.\n\"C\" DIVISION (KAMLOOPS, YALE, OKANAGAN, CARIBOO,\nCHILCOTIN, AND SQUAMISH DISTRICTS)\nBy R. M. Robertson, Officer Commanding\nI have the honour to submit herewith my annual report on game conditions in\n\" C \" Game Division during the year ended December 31st, 1951. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION,  1951 E 19\nBig Game\nMoose.\u2014In the Goldstream area of the Revelstoke district moose are increasing.\nThey are wintering as far south as Five Mile Creek, which is about 30 miles north of\nRevelstoke. It is estimated that there are probably 200 moose in this Detachment at\nthe present time.\nIn the Big Creek area of the Lillooet Detachment, also Bridge River valley, there\nhas been a noticeable increase in moose. The same situation applies to Upper Hat\nCreek and Lytton districts. Information received from trappers and guides in the\nQuesnel area indicates that moose wintered well and had a good calf-crop. Predators\ndid not affect big game to any noticeable extent.\nIt is estimated that a total of 250 to 300 bulls were killed in the Kamloops area\nduring the past hunting season. Guides report a very strong influx of moose, mostly\nfrom the north-west, in the Puntchesakut and Tibbies Lakes area. The drying-up of\nsloughs and pot-holes, due to a record dry summer, forced moose to lower levels where\nwater could be found. Heavy browsing over a large area is evident in the Quesnel\ndistrict.\nThe Clinton Detachment reports a large increase in moose but with a steadily\ndecreasing food-supply. Overbrowsing is reported all through the Cariboo. The numbers of this species taken by hunters in the Wells area have doubled in the last three\nyears.\nIn the Kamloops area a good calf-crop was reported; in fact, it could be safely\nsaid that this applied to the Division as a whole. Winter conditions were more favourable\nduring 1950-51. The kill of moose in the Kamloops district is not high, due largely to\nthe unsuitable terrain and lack of accessibility.\nMoose were seen at the Princeton airport during the summer, also around Burns\nHill. There is a slow southward movement of these animals. In the Upper Deep Creek\narea of the Peachland district, also Beaver and Postill Lakes east and north of Kelowna,\nthe presence of moose is reported, and an increase is indicated.\nCaribou.\u2014Revelstoke Detachment reports caribou as plentiful, but a very poor\nseason was reported due to lateness of the fall, as the caribou did not start moving to\ntheir winter quarters until after the season was closed. In all other Detachments a\ngeneral scarcity is reported.\nElk.\u2014Around Chute Lake, south-east of Kelowna, this species is increasing. Little\nhunting is done due to rugged terrain. In the Big Gun Lake area a few are reported.\nAt the head of Adams Lake, little hunting of elk is done as the area is not easily\naccessible.\nMountain-sheep.\u2014In the Lillooet district an increase in lambs is reported.\nIn the Churn Creek basin a closed area should be declared, especially where sheep\nwinter. There are too many guides and assistants operating in the Churn Creek basin.\nIt would take a fair portion of a Warden's time to keep track of the numerous hunting\nparties operating in the wintering-grounds of mountain-sheep.\nIn the Squilax area about the only protection from deep snow, which was again\nevident at the end of 1951, that sheep can obtain is to descend to the railway-track of\nthe Canadian Pacific Railway and Trans-Canada Highway. JHere a few are killed, and\nif the snow is soft and deep on the high range, bobcats add to the toll of mountain-sheep.\nIn the Squam Bay region of Adams Lake very few sheep are found. This habitat\nappears unsuitable for mountain-sheep, and no increase is indicated.\nGrizzlies.\u2014Numerous at the head of Texas Creek, McGillivray Pass, White Cap\nMountain in the Lillooet district, and also in the Revelstoke area. The main areas are\nJordon River, Albert Canyon, Cambourne, and Ferguson. One guide saw twenty-seven\nbears, most of which were grizzlies, in the Revelstoke district. A few grizzlies are\nreported in the Park Mountain, Viddler Mountain, Sitkum Creek, and the Cherry Creek\nbasin areas. E 20 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nBlack Bear.\u2014There is no definite region where one can depend on the presence of\nblack bear. They are widespread and are more of a nuisance than an asset. Damage\nby black bear on stock-raising ranges has been comparatively negligible to that of\nprevious years.\nMountain-goat.\u2014This species is found on numerous ranges, one of which is the\nShuswap-Columbia River divide east of Sugar Lake. A small band of four were seen\non the rocks at Echo Lake, Creighton Valley, having presumably come from the Harris\nCreek plateau. These were the first goats to be seen in this area for twenty years,\naccording to early residents. Big-game resources of the North Okanagan are seldom\nexploited; in fact, many residents are not yet aware of what they have in big game on\nadjacent ranges.\nThe same situation applies to Revelstoke, except that the ranges are not so easily\nreached.   Mountain-goats are definitely on the increase in all regions.\nCayoose and Tommy Creek areas of the Lillooet district have considerable numbers\nof mountain-goats.\nDeer.\u2014In all districts favourable reports on the deer situation came to hand. A\nfew reports of disease of a minor but common nature were brought to our attention.\nThe season was indeed a highly successful one. Deer moved down to lower levels\nout of deep snow during the latter part of the season. In one cold-storage plant, 250\ndeer were placed in cold storage during the 1950 open season. In the same plant, 456\ndeer were stored during the 1951 open season.\nFur-bearing Animals\nBeaver.\u2014The issuance of beaver-seals has had a good effect on the conservation of\nthis fur-bearer. I am afraid, however, without an intimate knowledge of what each\ntrapper has, Wardens may be handicapped, if prices for beavers should ever increase, in\nknowing just how many tags to issue. The system as described for beaver conservation\nin my previous annual report is working out satisfactory. No trapper is issued with\nmore seals than would amount to 25 per cent of his beaver population, etc. Many\ntrappers returned some unused seals. In the Kamloops area twenty-nine trappers took\n197 beavers.\nReports of beaver increase usually bring a number of complaints of damage to\nagricultural properties.   These complaints were satisfactorily settled.\nPrices for all fur-bearers were low, and little serious trapping was carried out as\nmost trappers are engaged in other pursuits of a more remunerative nature. One cannot\nexpect trappers to remain on a trap-line long when poor prices prevail for most furs.\nIn the southern portion of the Kamloops Detachment, beaver and marten were\ntaken in greater numbers than during the previous season. A total of 1,222 beavers\nwas taken by trappers during the 1950-51 season over the entire Division.\nUpland Game Birds\nPheasants are making a very satisfactory come-back everywhere from the population of last winter. In the Kamloops area a spot count in September showed a cock-to-\nhen ratio of 1:2. A road check of the Tranquille and Westsyde areas gave a total of\n33 cocks, 27 of which were juvenile birds. The total bag for the season was not large,\nbut a check-up on pheasants after the season revealed a greater number than was at first\nexpected. With good dogs, many hunters freely admitted that more birds could have\nbeen taken.\nThe kill of grouse passing through Cache Creek Checking-station compared favourably with the previous years, except for an increase in blue grouse. The ratio of blue\ngrouse killed still does not compare with the willows and Franklins taken. The 12,132\nhunters passing through Cache Creek took 8,085 upland game birds.    A decline in REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION, 1951 E 21\nwillows and Franklins was noted in the Wells area, fewer birds being taken. In all\nDetachments, reports indicate grouse of all kinds are still as numerous as ever.\nActually, in the Cariboo, if we judge by the numbers visiting that region\u2014namely,\n9,000 hunters during the 1950 season and at least 12,132 during 1951\u2014the grouse-kill\nfor 1951 would not be as great as the 1950 kill. This may indicate a decline in the grouse\ncycle.\nHungarian partridges are not prolific producers and never seem to remain in any\none area. Reports of numbers are not good and are therefore not in the same category\nas other game birds. Prairie-chicken are another species of a very uncertain nature.\nReports to hand are far from encouraging.\nMigratory Game Birds\nRoughly 1,000 mallards spent the winter on the South Thompson River. The\nwinter .1950-51 was not as severe as the previous one. Water-fowl did not suffer and\nfeeding was unnecessary. Hunters at Vernon enjoyed a good duck-hunting season on\nmany of the lakes which did not go dry. All species of ducks around Quesnel had a\nvery successful hatch. A flock of from 50 to 75 pelicans nested in the area of Bataunis\nLake. These non-game birds were observed by Forestry Officers while on an air patrol.\nOver 200 swans appeared in the Bridge River valley last fall, and about the same number\nappeared on the South Thompson River where they spent the Winter.\nPredatory Animals and Noxious Birds\nA considerable decrease in the number of coyotes is reported, especially where the\n1080 poison has been used on range lands. Dangerous as it is, the widespread use of\nthis poison is not advisable, except in trained hands. Wolves are still a factor around\nWells Gray Park and also the Mad River country and Douglas Lake. The travel route\nof one or two wolf-packs extends from along the north shore of Canim Lake east to and\nalong Mahood Lake to the Clearwater and Murtle Rivers, thence to Stevens Lake and\nsouth-south-east to the headwaters of Mad River. Wolves are scarce around Wells and\nBowron Lake. The following predators were killed by nine Game Wardens and two\npredatory-animal hunters: Bears, 27; bobcats, 7; cats, 202; cougars, 14; coyotes, 296;\ndogs, 55; red foxes, 2; ground-hogs, 154; skunks, 2; wolves, 9; crows, 1,046; eagles,\n37; hawks, 156; magpies, 560; mergansers, 21; horned or snowy owls, 59; ravens,\n142.    Of this total, one predatory-animal hunter destroyed 137 coyotes.\nGame Protection\nThere were 484 prosecutions launched in \" C \" Game Division during the year.\nAnother winter count should be taken of mountain-sheep at Shorts Point. There\nis a report that it is the intention of the owner at the Fintry Ranch, who holds some\nwinter range on Shorts Creek, to run live stock over this portion and contemplates extending his operations over mountain-sheep range. Further inquiries on the proposed extension of grazing rights are being made.\nGame Propagation\nForty-four pheasants were liberated at Kamloops, and were purchased locally.\nPheasants were not brought in from coastal areas this year because of the possibility of\ndisease-infected stock. The count of pheasants taken after the winter season gave fair\nindication of a normal breeding stock for the following year.\nThirteen beavers were taken from the Bowron Lake Reserve for distribution over\nthe Province. Chukar partridges were released by the Department east of Kamloops,\nand a few have been seen from time to time. E 22 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nGame Reserves\nThe game reserve for water-fowl opposite the City of Kamloops has provided a\ngreat deal of genuine pleasure for the residents of this city. Over 60 whistling swans\nand 200 lesser Canada geese were observed there in November. It is becoming a famous\nresting-place for water-fowl during the spring migration and hunting season. From\n1,500 to 2,000 ducks, also geese and swans, were seen at times near the Thompson River\njunction at Kamloops. An effort to extend the sanctuary along several miles of a navigable river has not met with any success, as the feeling prevails that it would interfere\nwith the enjoyment of hunters.\nThe following reserves are noted: Bowron Lake near Wells provides limited numbers of beavers for distribution on various trap-lines and irrigation projects; Yalakom\nReserve protects mountain-sheep.\nWells Gray Park, now under Forest Service jurisdiction, has a programme of road\nand trail development and game protection, and is also engaged in a stock-taking of its\ngame resources. The work of assisting trappers and guides is also being given serious\nconsideration.\nMinnie Lake sanctuary in the Douglas Lake country is another area which is\nbecoming more important. For the first time, several hundred whistling swans rested\nthere on their way south. One flock of 50 swans stayed around Nicola Lake until the\nfreeze-up before leaving for the south.\nFur Trade\nThe bulk of the fur trade is carried on in Vancouver, and all fur is forwarded there\nthrough agents in the Interior. The winter of 1950-51 has not, up to the end of the\nyear, produced much in the way of fur due to heavy snowfall and other factors.\nRegistration of Trap-lines\nThe system, now long established, is trouble-free and highly satisfactory. When the\nrevised maps are completed, the entire system of geographical descriptions will have to\nbe finalized.\nRegistration of Guides\nThe system now to a large extent in use at present, and which seems to be the most\nsatisfactory, is the creation of areas of moderate size for the use of approximately six\nguides in close proximity to each other. In a block containing a small number of guides\nand assistants, greater respect for the area over which the guide has hunted in past years\nis invariably attained. A few guides have dropped their activities up to the present, and\nthere is some indication that their numbers in overcrowded areas will naturally decrease\nduring the next few years. A start toward the creation of small blocks containing a\nlimited number of guides and assistants is now under way in the two or three detachments\nwhich have individual areas.\nThere is no guarantee that hunting rights within an individual area will be maintained for a single guide. Greater security for the guide and his investment is safer within\nblocks of moderate size.\nThere are 332 guides and 139 assistants in \"C\" Game Division. In the past the\nbottle-neck in the business of guiding lay mainly in the failure of the guides in a large\nnumber of cases to send in their return of the bag taken by the hunter. Continual scrutiny\nby the Wardens covering the activities of guides was necessary. A considerable improvement was noted in obtaining guides' returns from those who operated in the Cariboo. In\nother areas where no permanent road check was maintained, the returns from the guide\ncould not be back-checked. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION,  1951 E 23\nSpecial Patrols\nA special patrol was made by Game Warden E. D. Cameron to the headwaters of\nSitkum Creek, checking beaver and other game on the trap-line of a local trapper.\nHunting Accidents\nThere were reports of five hunting accidents during the 1951 season.\nIn the Quesnel Detachment one hunting accident occurred involving O. A. Rye, who\nwas wounded in the foot; also H. Hilderbrand received a wound in the calf of the leg,\nand G. Rogers died due to exposure when rescue-boat overturned.\nLillooet reports that J. T. Monoghan accidentally received a wounded foot by his\ncompanion. W. Whitney, a 16-year-old boy, died from exposure after being lost in the\nmountains for several days near Lillooet.\nIn the Kamloops area Father Edward Francis Swoboda, on October 7th, received\nwounds in the right shoulder and back, but there were no serious effects suffered. On\nOctober 8th James Patrick Langston was wounded in the left foot and later had to have\npart of it amputated. On October 27th Fredrick Casimer was found dead in the\nJamieson Creek area. He suffered from a weak heart. Robert Hugh Todd was wounded\nin the left arm.\nCache Creek Checking-station\nThe number of hunters checked was as follows: Resident, 9,890; non-resident,\n2,242.\nThe game checked consisted of the following: Black bear, 129; grizzly bear, 19;\ncaribou, 2; deer, 1,733; elk (wapiti), 2; mountain-goat, 40; moose, 2,230; mountain-\nsheep, 9; migratory game birds, 6,158; upland game birds, 8,085.\nSummary and General Remarks\nThe great invasion of over 12,100 hunters into the Cariboo marked a new epoch in\nbig-game hunting. The motive for this influx of hunters was the abnormally high price\nof meat on the British Columbia and foreign markets. In contrast to the influx of 9,000\nhunters of the previous year, the increase this year was notable indeed. Just what is in\nstore for the Cariboo region during 1952 is difficult to determine. If the high price of\nmeat continues, it would be safe to predict a further increase in the number of hunters in\nthe Cariboo in 1952.\nOne does not realize the vast extent of the Cariboo region until viewed from the air.\nA total of 2,230 moose taken from an area the size of the Cariboo could not be described\nas a strain on the big-game resources. With judiciously chosen seasons of moderate\nlength based on the findings of biologists in the field on this and other factors, and barring\nnatural catastrophies, this asset should prevail and furnish food and enjoyment to an even\ngreater number of hunters for many years to come.\nThe harvesting of grouse while at their peak produced greater numbers, but this was\ndue to the increased number of hunters. The blue-grouse harvest was double that of the\nprevious year.\nThere was no harvest of game that would create alarm in the minds of biologists.\nIt is true that the pheasant situation was a controversial problem, but it is one capable of\nreasonably quick recovery. More important to the propagation of the pheasant population is the question of cover. In fact, with adequate cover, on which we should concentrate more, the predator problem could be relegated to second place within the scope of\nsound game management.\nFur-bearers were not harvested as heavily as in former years, due to poor prices and\npoor conditions. E 24 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nOne of the most urgent requirements within this Division is the need for more personnel in the field. With a 41-per-cent increase in population, exclusive of non-resident\nhunters, Wardens were swamped with correspondence and requests for information,\nwhich forced them to spend much of their very limited time on the roads instead of visiting hunters' camps, which should also be done as a part of their already strenuous duties.\nIt is quite clear under those circumstances that additional help is required where the\nconcentration of hunters is greatest. Even in the Interior cities temporary assistance is\nneeded, and additional equipment, especially in the form of jeeps, is an urgent necessity.\nThe abnormally high percentage of prosecutions on the field may mean:\u2014\n(1) A lack of education on the part of the hunter through failure to study the\nregulations.\n(2) Carelessness. This was evident in the large number of hunters who left\nloaded firearms in their vehicles. Seventy per cent of the prosecutions\nobtained at the Cache Creek Checking-station were due to this careless\nhabit.\nA change for the better should take place in the case of non-resident hunters coming\ninto the Province with firearms and no licence.\nFrom the view-point of obtaining a meat-supply, the opportunity prevailed everywhere, especially for city hunters who were wise enough to have a guide. A breakdown\nof statistics would give a truer picture of the situation as prepared by the biologists.\nIn conclusion, our thanks are due to our biologists, the Forest Service personnel\nunder Colonel Parlow, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the loyal co-operation at all\nhours of Wardens in the field, at times under very trying circumstances, members of Game\nAssociations, and Water Rights Branch and Department of Public Works officials for\ntheir splendid assistance rendered during the year.\n\"D\" DIVISION (PRINCE GEORGE, McBRIDE, VANDERHOOF, BURNS LAKE,\nSMITHERS, PRINCE RUPERT, POUCE COUPE, FORT ST. JOHN, FORT\nNELSON, AND LOWER POST DETACHMENTS).\nBy W. A. H. Gill, Officer Commanding\nBig-game Animals\nMoose.\u2014These game animals are still very plentiful throughout this Division from\nFort St. John south. A percentage of them are infected with tapeworms, but due to the\nexcellent food available to the moose in most of the Division, together with favourable\nwinter conditions, this parasite has not reduced their numbers. During the spring of\n1951 very few ticks were present on moose examined.\nFar more moose were taken by sportsmen in 1951 than in previous years, and from\nobservations I am certain that these animals are still more plentiful than they were\npreviously.\nCyanide of potassium poison baits for wolves were set out on numerous lakes within\na radius of 100 air miles from Prince George, and in the Atlin and Cassiar Districts, with\nvery good results, as moose are showing a marked increase in all of the areas where\npoison was placed.\nA considerable number of aeroplane flights were made in carrying out this poison\nprogramme, and private owners of aircraft who supplied this transportation at their own\nexpense are entitled to a great deal of credit for assisting in maintaining our moose-crop.\nDeer.\u2014Except on the Queen Charlotte Islands, these animals are not plentiful in\nthis Division.\nA slight increase in the number of deer is noted in the Burns Lake, Prince George,\nand Vanderhoof areas, but in the McBride area a decrease has been observed. However,\nwith the Predatory-animal Branch being active with cyanide guns and 1080 poison REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION,  1951 E 25\nstations, it is felt that the destruction of coyotes and bear will soon be responsible for an\nincrease in the deer population, as large numbers of these game animals are taken by\npredators each year.\nCaribou.\u2014In the area south of the Canadian National Railway (Jasper to Prince\nRupert line) these animals are still very scarce. They are increasing slowly in the\nMcBride, Woodpecker, and Herrick Creek areas.\nThe only large bands of caribou left are in the areas near Cold Fish Lake and the\narea between Fort St. John and Fort Nelson.\nBlack and Brown Bear.\u2014These animals are still far too plentiful. Their numbers\nwere greatly reduced during the spring of 1951 by the Predatory-animal Branch, by the\nuse of cyanide guns and snares. A great number of complaints from farmers were answered, and in practically every instance the bears were destroyed.\nGrizzly Bear.\u2014These game animals are very plentiful, and I believe more tourists\nshould be encouraged to carry out spring grizzly-hunts. At present very few sportsmen\nhunt grizzlies in this Division.\nMountain-sheep.\u2014A good number of mountain-sheep still range north of the 56th\nparallel of north latitude, with the exception of the Ovis dall (white sheep), which are\nbecoming very scarce in British Columbia.\nMountain-goat.\u2014Although they are fairly plentiful throughout the Division, these\ngame animals are not hunted to any extent.\nElk (Wapiti).\u2014Elk are very scarce in \" D \" Division; however, there is a fair-sized\nherd south of Pouce Coupe, and from reports received they are steadily increasing.\nFur-bearing Animals\nMarten.\u2014Good reports have been received from trappers, who state that marten are\nsteadily increasing. Due to the low fur prices, trappers are not trapping as heavily as\nwhen the fur market was good.\nBeaver.\u2014These fur-bearers are very plentiful throughout the whole Division on\nnearly all white trappers' lines.\nThe Indian trap-lines are in very poor condition, due to the Indian's practice of\ntaking all the beaver he possibly can. As these animals live in colonies, the Indian usually camps right in the beaver country and carries on heavy trapping till the season closes.\nFox.\u2014Although very plentiful, a No. 1 fox-pelt is only worth about $3, and trappers endeavour to keep them out of their traps, as it is not worth the trouble to skin them.\nMink.\u2014An average catch of mink was made. Possibly these animals were trapped\nharder than any other fur-bearing animal, with the exception of beaver, due to the satisfactory price being paid for mink-pelts at the start of the season.\nThese fur-bearers are found only in portions of the Division. They are far more\nplentiful along the coast than in the Interior.\nFisher.\u2014These animals are showing a marked increase and are still the most\nvaluable pelt.\nLynx.\u2014From reports received and observations made, this fur-bearer has shown\nthe greatest increase of all our fur-bearers. However, due to the very low market they\nare not being taken in large numbers.\nAll other fur-bearers are holding their own. Squirrels are still being trapped quite\nheavily, as prices are good.\nUpland Game Birds\nPheasants.\u2014These game birds were released in the Vanderhoof area, and encouraging reports have been received, as a considerable number of birds have been seen around\nstraw-stacks. The Vanderhoof Rod and Gun Club has commenced an active drive to\nexterminate the large numbers of owls and hawks, which have been killing the pheasants.\nA reward of 50 cents will be paid for each harmful hawk or owl brought in.   Coloured E 26 BRITISH COLUMBIA\npictures of the hawks and owls on which a bounty is being paid are on display, so that\nas few as possible of the harmless varieties will be destroyed.\nIn regard to the pheasants in the Peace River District, I feel that they will never\nincrease in this area to any extent, and, therefore, I would not recommend the release of\nany more birds in the area unless scientific advice was obtained recommending same.\nWillow Grouse.\u2014Willow grouse were plentiful in 1951, and if nothing unforeseen\ntakes place they should be plentiful again in 1952. Due to the fact that these birds have\nreached such large numbers, a sudden decline may be expected at any time.\nBlue Grouse.\u2014These birds are very scarce in this Division and are hardly known\nby the local sportsmen.\nFranklin's Grouse.\u2014In 1949 the Franklin's grouse decreased greatly and have\nshown no upward trend to date.\nPrairie-chicken (Sharp-tailed).\u2014These birds are steadily increasing in the Smithers,.\nBurns Lake, Vanderhoof, and Prince George areas, but have decreased to some extent in\nthe Fort St. John and Dawson Creek districts.\nMigratory Game Birds\nDucks and Geese.\u2014These migratory birds were in approximately the same numbers\nas in past years. Certain areas have very poor duck and goose shooting, while in other\nparts of the Division the shooting has been fairly good. The early freeze-up drove a lot\nof the birds south; however, this condition did not last and good shooting was obtainable\nin the larger lakes and rivers at the close of the season when the northern birds came in.\nDucks appear to be increasing in the Fort St. John, Dawson Creek, and Smithers\nareas. This is believed due to the northern birds having located good feeding conditions\nin the grain-fields. It has only been a few years since the ducks first started landing on\nthe Vanderhoof grain-fields, but the duck population stopping over in the area has been\nincreasing ever since. I believe that similar results will follow in the Fort St. John, Dawson Creek, and Smithers districts.\nFrom reports received, it would indicate that a considerable decrease was noted in\nthe number of migratory game birds in the Prince Rupert area.\nDestruction of Vermin\nIn 1950, 301 wolves were destroyed, with no cost to the Department other than for\npoison used and personnel's time. During 1951 only 78 wolves were destroyed with the\nuse of aircraft; 13 of these were killed by use of aircraft hired at a cost of $500 plus the\ncost of the poison and personnel's time of two days. The remaining 65 wolves were killed\nby use of private aircraft, with no expense except the cost of the poison and one Game\nWarden's wages for six days.\nIt is felt that the only satisfactory way to reduce this major predator is by use of a\nDepartmental aircraft, as this area is so vast that to cover same by any other means than\nby aircraft is impossible.\nI might say that the trappers were very nervous about the use of poison for the\ndestruction of wolves, but after discussing our method with them they are now keen to\nassist us and have even requested us to set out our poison baits within their registered\ntrap-lines. I am certain that by maintaining their confidence and by the use of proper\nequipment we can reduce the wolf population to a satisfactory balance in a short time.\nI feel that several flights should be carried out in the Atlin and Cassiar Districts this\nwinter for the purpose of dropping poison baits to reduce the large wolf population.\nCoyotes.\u2014These predators have caused considerable losses to sheepmen and poul-\ntrymen in the Pouce Coupe, Smithers, Burns Lake, Vanderhoof, McBride, and Prince\nGeorge districts. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION,  1951 E 27\nOur predatory-animal hunter at Prince George has destroyed a noticeable number\nof these predators, and it is felt that with the use of 1080 poison and cyanide guns he will\nbe able to reduce these predators to a satisfactory balance.\nIf predator-hunters can be stationed at Smithers and Pouce Coupe, I feel certain\nthat within a short time they also will be able to reduce the numbers of coyotes sufficiently\nin these Detachments.\nW. W. Mair, Supervisor of Predator-hunters, will visit this area in January, 1952,\nfor the purpose of instructing the personnel of \"D \" Division in the use of 1080 poison.\nBaits of 1080 poison will be set out at Pouce Coupe, Fort St. John, Fort Nelson, Smithers,\nBurns Lake, Vanderhoof, McBride, and Prince George at that time.\nCougars.\u2014These predators continue to increase slightly, but due to the severe winters I do not believe they will ever increase to numbers that would warrant a concentrated\ndrive against them.\nMagpies.\u2014Reports indicate that magpies are increasing slightly and continue to\nmove farther north.\nEagles.\u2014Trappers are reporting that these birds continue to take a heavy toll of\nmuskrats. A considerable number have been destroyed when they pick up the poison\nbaits set out for wolves, but they are still very plentiful and no doubt destroy a great\nnumber of ducks, young geese, and swans. I have personally witnessed them destroying\nthe adult birds.\nGame Protection\nAs previously mentioned, a Department-owned aircraft, in my opinion, would be\nthe greatest asset in game protection. Private aircraft could be checked in remote areas,\nand it would also be useful in setting out wolf poison in localities where wolves are making\nheavy inroads into our caribou herds.\nNow that the Aluminum Company is established at Kitimat, a game detachment is\nnecessary at Terrace.\nDue to the road being completed this year from the Alaska Highway to Atlin, I feel\nthat a game detachment should be opened at Atlin. This detachment would take in the\nHaines Cut-off area, which should be patrolled far more often than it is now possible to\ndo from the Lower Post or Fort Nelson Detachment.\nA new detachment was opened at McBride this year. Game Warden Hicks is\ncarrying out his duties in a very satisfactory manner.\nFar more game protection has been enforced in the Queen Charlotte Islands and\nalong the coast due to the active work of Game Warden Jamieson.\nA noticeable increase in the number of prosecutions was recorded during 1951. To\na great extent, this is due to the large increase in population moving into this Division.\nGame Propagation\nPheasants.\u2014Seventy adult birds were released in the Vanderhoof area in the late\nspring.\nThe Vanderhoof Rod and Gun Club has commenced a concentrated drive against\nhawks and owls, as it is believed that their depredations are mainly responsible for the\nfailure of the pheasants liberated to have increased satisfactorily. Birds that have not\nbeen destroyed seem to do well throughout the winters.\nBeaver.\u2014A few of these animals were released on the trap-lines of Allen Fletcher,\nof Smithers, and Sam L. Miller, of Prince George. They have established their homes\nand appear to be doing very well. The beaver released earlier on Allen Fletcher's, Alfred\nHarrison's, and Jack Gray's trap-lines have established their homes, and all have been\nresponsible for starting at least two new colonies each.\nNo information is available regarding the beaver released on the Queen Charlotte\nIslands. E 28 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nGame Reserves\nThere are only three small game reserves in this Division. These are located around\ntowns and are more for the protection of the public than for game.\nThe Nechako Bird Sanctuary is still operating very satisfactorily. The numbers of\nducks and geese using this resting-place are increasing every year. There is some doubt\nas to what effect the Aluminum Company's operations will have on this sanctuary; I do\nnot think that it will curtail in any way the numbers of birds resting on this reserve. It is\nquite possible that it will increase the growth of feed in the sanctuary.\nFur Trade\nThe fur-catch appeared to be slightly less this year. Due to the poor fur market the\ntrappers found that they could make more by working for wages than by trapping.\nRegistration of Trap-lines\nGame Warden McCabe, of Fort Nelson, has been very active in this work and now\nhas many of the trap-lines, not previously registered, completed. In remote areas in this\nDivision no suitable maps are available, and this makes registration of trap-lines very\ndifficult.\nThe registration of trap-lines has proven its worth. Very few complaints are received\nonce all the lines in an area have been properly registered. I might add that the registered trap-line has been the major factor in building up our beaver population to where\nit is now.\nRegistration of Guides\nSince registering guiding areas, we have not received any complaints in regard to\nguides infringing on other guides' territories. We have been fortunate in this Division,\nas only a very limited number of guides were operating before this regulation came into\neffect; therefore we can eliminate any tendencies toward overcrowding.\nSpecial Patrols\nThree of these patrols were carried out by Game Warden McCabe, of Fort Nelson.\nOne was to Fort Liard with Game Warden Villeneuve in connection with the registration\nof trap-lines. This patrol took eight days, and a distance of 1,010 miles was travelled by\nriver-boat.\nThe second trip was to Haines Cut-off in the company of Game Warden Stewart, of\nLower Post. This was taken in September for the purpose of checking hunters and\nguides. The time taken was ten days. A distance of 1,372 miles was covered by car and\n34 miles on foot.   During this patrol three prosecutions were carried out.\nIn October, McCabe made a special patrol to Atlin to assist the Royal Canadian\nMounted Police in reregistering trap-lines on the new maps supplied. This was necessary\nas all old maps had been lost in the fire when the Atlin Detachment burned. Fifteen days\nwas the time taken for this patrol. Distance travelled was 1,445 miles by car, 2 miles by\nboat, and 6 miles on foot.\nHunting Accidents\nI am pleased to report a decline in the number of hunting accidents, as only two\naccidents occurred in this Division during the year as compared to five accidents the\nprevious year.   These were as follows:\u2014\nBenjamin Kelly, of Queen Charlotte City, B.C., was fatally wounded when the shotgun which he was using as a club to kill a wounded pheasant, discharged, causing a wound\nin his abdomen. He received immediate attention but died shortly after the accident\noccurred REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION,  1951 E 29\nWilfred Calahasen, of Arras, B.C., was fatally wounded by his son, Clifford Cala-\nhasen, while they were out moose-hunting. Mr. Calahasen was shot through the chest\nwith a 30.30 calibre rifle and died ten minutes later.\nGame-fish Culture\nOne hundred and fifty thousand eyed Kamloops trout eggs were supplied to the\nPrince George Rod and Gun Club. These were hatched in the local hatchery and the fry\nplanted as follows: Bednesti Lake, 20,000; Cluculz Lake, 55,000; Hart Lake, 10,000;\nNess Lake, 10,000; Summit Lake, 10,000; Nadsilnich Lake, 30,000. Fifty thousand\nkokanee eggs were also planted in Cluculz Lake Creek.\nSeventy thousand eyed Kamloops trout eggs were supplied to the Bulkley Valley\nRod and Gun Club and hatched in its local hatchery. The fry were distributed as\nfollows: AldrichLake, 10,000; Kathlyn Lake, 5,000; McLure Lake, 10,000; Irrigation\nLake, 5,000; Round Lake, 20,000; Seymour Lake, 5,000; Johnson Lake, 5,000.\nSixty thousand eyed Kamloops trout eggs were supplied to the North Peace Rod and\nGun Club and hatched in its hatching-tank. Fifty thousand fry were distributed to\nCharlie Lake.\nSixty thousand eyed Kamloops trout eggs were supplied to Game Warden Tate at\nPouce Coupe.   These eggs were all planted in streams in the vicinity of Dawson Creek.\nCoarse-fish traps were again operated in both streams in and out of Nadsilnich\n(West) Lake, and approximately 6 tons of coarse fish were removed. Fish-tox was also\nused in the inlet creek with very good results. From records kept, it is noted that the\nsize and number of trout in this lake have increased greatly. Coarse-fish traps were also\ninstalled in the inlet and outlet creeks of Cluculz Lake, and several tons of coarse fish\nwere removed.\nFish-tox was used in all four creeks running in and out of Cluculz Lake at intervals,\nunder the supervision of Dr. P. A. Larkin, Chief Fisheries Biologist, with very good\nresults.\nAnother coarse-fish trap was installed at Stony Creek near Vanderhoof, and\napproximately 5 tons of coarse fish were removed.\nI wish to thank the Prince George, Vanderhoof, Bulkley Valley, Fort St. John, and\nDawson Creek Rod and Gun Clubs for their assistance in fish-culture. These clubs were\nvery active and willing to assist whenever possible. A great deal of assistance was also\nrendered by Dr. P. A. Larkin and his student, Gerald Berry.\nSummary and General Remarks on Game and Fish\nFrom personal observation and reliable information the 1951 moose-crop was very\ngood. A far greater number of moose was taken than in previous years, and I feel certain\nthat there are far more moose left than there have been for a number of years. In the\nspring an exceptionally large number of cows were seen with two calves.\nDeer are still fairly scarce in this Division in the Interior.\nCaribou are believed to be increasing very slightly, and the same regulations should\nbe maintained until a more substantial increase is evident.\nI feel that the game and fish in this Division are in a very satisfactory state. The\nbiggest hindrance to our game at the present time is the timber-wolf. If the Department\ncould secure an aircraft for continuous operation against these predators during the winter\nmonths, I am certain it would be the main factor in rebuilding our caribou and sheep\npopulations, which have been sadly depleted by these predators.\nIn closing, I wish to thank all Rod and Gun Club members, Game Wardens, clerks,\nand police officers, and owners of private aircraft, who assisted in more efficient game\nconservation in this Division. E 30 BRITISH COLUMBIA\n\" E \" DIVISION (MAINLAND COAST NORTH TO TOBA INLET AND\nLOWER MAINLAND AS FAR INLAND AS NORTH BEND)\nBy R. E. Allan, Officer Commanding\nI beg to submit herewith my annual report covering game conditions in \" E \" Game\nDivision for the year ended December 31st, 1951.\nBig Game\nDeer (Coast or Columbian).\u2014Fairly intensive hunting of these animals during the\nimmediate past open season does not appear to have resulted in any noticeable change in\ntheir number within this Division. Game Wardens Urquhart and Hughes, of Coquitlam\nand Cloverdale districts respectively, again report deer to be on the increase. In the\nlatter district, complaints continue to be received from time to time of their doing damage\nto fruit-trees and growing crops. The establishment of the car-ferry service between\nHorseshoe Bay and Gibsons Landing has resulted in a heavy influx of deer-hunters on to\nthe large area of the Seechelt Peninsula, where good hunting was obtainable.\nElk ( Wapiti).\u2014Corporal Game Warden L. R. Lane, in charge of the Department's\npatrol vessel \" P.M.L. 3,\" reports that he did not make a successful count of the elk herd\nin the McNab Creek area due to the heavy growth of timber and underbrush.\nBlack or Brown Bear.\u2014These animals are plentiful throughout the Division.\nHowever, as fewer complaints of their doing damage were received, it would appear that\nthey are being satisfactorily controlled. The most serious complaint received was from\nthe Gibsons Landing district, where a large male killed two hogs.\nGrizzly Bear.\u2014Can be found in most of the up-coast inlets, particularly in Knights,\nKingcome, Rivers, and Kwatna Inlets, where they are reported to be plentiful.\nMountain-goat.\u2014The not easily accessible habitat of this animal has resulted in no\nserious inroads into their numbers in this Division. Favoured hunting areas are in the\nPowell Lake, Coquitlam, Mission, and Chilliwack districts.\nFur-bearing Animals\nSeasonal trap-line returns do not vary a great deal, which would indicate that most\ntrap-lines are being \" farmed \" and not overtrapped. Racoon and red fox continue to be\nbothersome and at times destructive predators throughout the Fraser Valley.\nUpland Game Birds\nGrouse (Blue and Willow or Ruffed).\u2014In many areas of this Division, due to\nlogging and change of habitat, blue grouse are being replaced by willow. Reports from\nWardens indicate that the latter are on the increase in most districts. Not as many blue\ngrouse were taken last year, due to this and the forest closure which prohibited travel\nin the woods at a time when these birds were more readily available.\nCalifornia Quail and European Partridge.\u2014These birds do not appear to be\nestablishing themselves in this Division.\nPheasants.\u2014The past open season on these birds compared very favourably with\nthe good hunting which was enjoyed in the year 1948 and was due, to a great extent\nI believe, to the liberal release of hens in the early spring and ideal nesting weather which\nfollowed. As was usual, the bulk of the pheasant-crop was harvested during the first few\ndays of the open season. From then up to the end of the season they were in dense brush\nand very difficult to hunt even with good dogs. Severe winter weather, which commenced\nearly in December, and subsequent feeding of these birds, enabled us to make a survey,\nwhich indicated that a fair number should be on hand for the 1952 breeding season. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION, 1951 E 31\nMigratory Game Birds\nDucks and Geese (Canada).\u2014In the Fraser Valley and Delta the opening day on\nducks and geese was very good, and numerous full bags were obtained with little\ndifficulty. However, from that day and on to the end of the season, shooting was very\nspotty. Fields remained dry throughout the entire season, and the birds on most days\nrested well offshore. Officers in charge of Departmental patrol vessels plying the inside\npassages between Vancouver and Queen Charlotte Sound report sea-ducks as being\nplentiful.\nBlack Brant.\u2014Showed up in large numbers in the Boundary Bay area early in\nFebruary, and shooting was the best that had been had in many years. Following some\nconsiderable friction between hunters over the limited number of suitable places from\nwhich to shoot, stricter regulations were imposed upon sportsmen desirous of hunting\nin the Beach Grove area of Boundary Bay. It is anticipated that these added restrictions\nwill enable a greater number of hunters to participate in the shooting of these birds at\nthat place.\nSnow Geese.\u2014These were very plentiful over the delta foreshores during the open\nseason on ducks but were almost non-existent when their season opened on December\n22nd. They remained scarce, and to this date, very few of these birds have been seen in\nthis Division. A report received and confirmed by Game Warden W. H. Cameron, of\nLadner, indicates that approximately 40,000 snow geese are presently wintering a few\nmiles from Boundary Bay and in the State of Washington. The present closed season\non them down there is undoubtedly responsible for their poor showing here.\nBand-tailed Pigeons.\u2014These were fairly plentiful, although not many were taken\ndue to the forest closure and prohibited travel in the woods during the greater part of the\nshort open season.\nVermin\nThe recent appointment of a full-time predatory-animal hunter for the Lower\nMainland will be of considerable assistance to the Game Wardens of that area in their\nendeavours to control vermin in their respective districts. Fewer complaints of cougar\nwere received during the year.\nGame Protection\nA total of 397 prosecutions under the \" Game Act,\" Special Fishery Regulations,\nand the \" Migratory Game Bird Act \" were conducted by officers in this Division during\nthe past year. Following the re-establishment of a game detachment at Powell River and\nour repossessing the Departmental launch \" P.G.D. 2 \" from the Royal Canadian Mounted\nPolice, I am pleased to report that adequate game protection is now being given to the\nup-coast portion of this Division.\nGame Propagation\nAs in previous years, a considerable amount of time was devoted by Game Wardens\nin the Lower Mainland area in connection with the picking-up and releasing of farm-\nraised pheasants. This was a particularly difficult task during the past summer, as many\nof the suitable areas to be planted lacked fresh water following an abnormal lengthy\ndrought.\nGame Reserves\nThe several game reserves within this Division continue to be beneficial as resting-\ngrounds for wild fowl.\nFur Trade\nRetail sales are reported to have dropped 40 to 50 per cent during the year due, as\nmost local fur-buyers will agree, to a consumer resistance to dressed furs, which are E 32 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nbeyond the reach of the majority.   Prices paid to the trapper for his raw pelts, and which\nare listed hereunder, show this general trend in the market:\u2014\nType\nBeaver \t\nMuskrat _\nOtter \t\nFisher\t\nCross fox -\nRed fox\t\nMarten \t\nWeasel \t\nWild mink\nLynx \t\nRacoon \t\nSquirrel \t\nWolverine -\n1949\n1950\n$24.50\n$18.00\n2.10\n2.40\n26.50\n25.00\n55.00\n39.00\n3.00\n2.25\n2.75\n1.50\n24.80\n20.00\n2.20\n1.90\n29.50\n23.00\n14.60\n7.50\n1.25\n1.25\n.65\n.65\n35.00\n25.00\nRegistration of Trap-lines\nThis system continues to function smoothly and is, I believe, largely responsible\nfor the consistent returns from the many trap-lines in this Division.\nRegistration of Guides\nThere are very few registered in \" E \" Game Division, and I have nothing further\nto report on this subject.\nSpecial Patrols\nNo special patrols were made during the year.\nHunting Accidents\nWilliam Bezubiak, of 245 Glen Drive, Vancouver, B.C., while hunting ducks during\nthe night flight of December 18th, 1951, received two shotgun pellets above the left eye.\nPerson responsible not known.   Not serious.\nOn November 4th, 1951, Jack Kuzma, of Englewood, B.C., was accidentally shot\nto death by one John D. Murray of the same address. The deceased, wearing khaki\ncoloured clothing, was mistaken for a deer. The firearms licence of Mr. Murray has\nbeen cancelled.\nCharles Warris, of Powell River, B.C., while hunting crows with one Donald\nMcQuarrie, of the same address, on November 12th, 1951, was hit by three shotgun\npellets discharged by a gun in the hands of the latter. Not serious. Firearms licence of\nMr. McQuarrie has been cancelled.\nGame-fish Culture\nSmiths Falls Hatchery at Cultus Lake operated over the year with usual good\nsuccess. A total of 369,600 Kamloops trout fingerlings were reared and liberated in\nmany of the Lower Mainland lakes and streams. These fingerlings were not as large as\nthey were in some years, owing to a crowded condition which occurred in hatchery\ntroughs and rearing-ponds. This situation was remedied by the construction of an\nadditional battery of five concrete ponds. The siphon arrangement at the intake to the\nhatchery water-supply is not good. Several water failures occurred during the night, but\nthe alertness of Fishery Officer F. Pells prevented the loss of fish.\nAt the present time there is a total of 800 Kamloops trout on hand as brood stock\nat this hatchery, and it is anticipated that a large number of these will mature this coming REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION, 1951 E 33\nspring. The eggs to be collected should augment to some considerable degree the usual\nsupply received from the Interior collecting-stations. This egg-supply will be further\naugmented by the collection of eggs from a small run of Kamloops trout which occurs\nin the hatchery creek. Fish from these local eggs continue to be less susceptible to normal\nhatchery losses, and their growth exceeds that of Interior stock.\nOn January 1st, 1952, the cut-throat trout brood stock numbered 992 fish, a loss of\n2 fish over the year. It is hoped that a large number will reach maturity this coming\nspring.\nFishing in the many lakes and streams in this Division has been very good during the\npast year, unquestionably as a direct result of the yearly plantings of hatchery-reared fish.\nChief Fisheries Biologist Dr. P. A. Larkin and his staff commenced a survey of the\nimportant fishing-waters of the Lower Mainland during the year in review, and, as you\nare aware, his findings will be covered in his report to you.\nSummary\nIn conclusion, I wish to bring to your attention the valuable assistance rendered to\nthis Division by the Game Associations, Forest Service, Public Works Department, the\nRoyal Canadian Mounted Police, and in particular to the assistance and co-operation of\nJack Pilling, of radio station CHWK of Chilliwack, who devoted some considerable\nbroadcast time to fish and game matters. I also wish to express my thanks and appreciation to the Game Wardens and Fishery Officers for the usual efficient and courteous\nmanner in which they performed their many and varied duties.\nSUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES OF THE GAME MANAGEMENT\nAND RESEARCH BRANCH\nBy James Hatter, Chief Game Biologist\nIntroduction\nThe most encouraging feature of the year 1951 was the appointment of two Game\nManagement Biologists to permanent field positions. P. W. Martin was stationed at\nKamloops and D. J. Robinson at Nanaimo. The district in which Mr. Martin operates\nis exceptionally large, including all the Interior west of the Monashee Mountains and\nsouth of Prince George to the International Boundary. It is hoped that eventually this\nlarge district will become subdivided with the future appointment of additional Game\nManagement Biologists. The Vancouver Island unit is much smaller and more compact,\nwith the important hunting districts more accessible than those of the Interior. The\nvariety of game species is not as great as found in the Interior, and hence the problems\nare fewer.\nDevelopment of the Game Management and Research Branch tends toward decentralization in its organization. Game problems in British Columbia are best handled by\nresident biologists assigned to districts. This is considered preferable to a central organization in which all activities extend from the office of the Game Commission in Vancouver. Appointments have been made on the basis of regional hunting pressure, and\nit is anticipated that those in the future will be made in a similar manner. As yet no\nappointment has been made to \" B \" Division, embracing the important districts of the\nEast and West Kootenays.\nE. W. Taylor, Game Management Biologist on the Lower Mainland Coast, has this\nyear undertaken to obtain management information on elk and deer in the Princeton\narea, thus relieving P. W. Martin in the larger Interior district.\nSeasonal work, largely by graduate students from the University, was again sponsored by the Branch and will be reported on in a further section of this report. E 34 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nObjectives of the Game Management and Research Branch\nA restatement of the objectives of this newly formed Branch is made at this time\nin order that the purpose of the activities listed may be better understood. Briefly, the\nmajor purpose of the Branch is to obtain basic factual information by which a maximum\nsustained crop of game may be harvested each year. The wise use of game resources\nmust be based on information of this type. Hunting pressure in British Columbia, while\nlow in comparison to many States to the south, has now reached a point where a factual\napproach to management is imperative. If we are to derive full benefit from our wild-life\nresources on a sustained basis, we must have the necessary information to achieve this\nend. There can be no substitute for pertinent quantitative data obtained with full recognition of our responsibilities.\nIt is our primary purpose to manage properly the wild-life stocks presently at our\ndisposal. Attempts to increase certain species of big game through possible habitat\ndevelopment, such as controlled burning, is secondary to the problem of using what we\nnow have to the full extent permissible. Not until such time as this is realized and hunting\npressure increases over present levels can we concern ourselves with practices to improve\nthe numerical status of such species as deer, moose, elk, and grouse. Over large areas,\nthese species in particular are not being harvested to the extent permissible or, in some\ncases, even desirable from a biological standpoint. Other species of game, such as bighorn sheep, caribou, grizzly bear, and water-fowl, on the other hand, appear in many\nareas to be subjected to hunting pressure as great as may be tolerated in a sustained-yield\n.programme of management. In the case of bighorn sheep, the Management and Research\nBranch is emphasizing inquiry into the causes for a declining status, which does not\nappear to be primarily the result of hunting pressure. Parasites and disease, live-stock\ncompetition, predation, and depleted winter ranges are promising fields of inquiry. They\nare being investigated in hopes that corrective measures may be undertaken to relieve\ntheir influence should they constitute important limiting factors. At the same time any\ntrends in hunting pressure will be recorded and weighed in the balance along with other\nfactors involved.\nHabitat development for water-fowl is desirable, but our present activities must of\nnecessity centre about surveys. These are designed to point the way and provide basic\ninformation for future action should facilities be placed at our disposal for a more\nenergetic programme of water-fowl management than is possible at the present time.\nTools at one's disposal in game management form the backbone of this applied\nbiological science. They consist, for the most part, of life-history data, plant and animal\necology, census methods, range surveys, the annual harvest, knowledge of parasites and\ndisease, and training in interpretation of observations and facts into a sound management\nprogramme.\nAn outline of activities of the Branch is presented under the headings \" Management,\" \" Research,\" \" Surveys and Special Investigations,\" \" Conferences and Public\nRelations.\"   Results of certain phases of the work will be summarized briefly.\nManagement\nPheasants\nLadner Delta.\u2014Pheasant sex ratios, crowing counts, and the relative density of\nthe breeding population was again determined on the Ladner Delta during the spring\nmonths. Brood counts and relative densities were obtained on several occasions during\nthe production period. Final brood counts and population densities were determined\nin August and September. At this time a pre-hunt estimate of hunting success was\nmade. In December, winter counts were made on the Delta for relative abundance.\nDetails of the work were compiled in a report submitted by E. W. Taylor on October REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION, 1951\nE 35\n17th,  1951, and entitled \"Report on the Delta Pheasant Population\u2014Spring and\nSummer, 1951.\"\nThe winter carry-over of cock pheasants was higher in 1951 than in the three\npreceding years.\nTable I.\u2014Cock-pheasant Density, May, 1948, 1949, 1950, and 1951, Based on Counts\nof Crowing Territories in Delta Municipality\nYear\nAcres Covered\nNumber of\nCock\nTerritories\nEstimated\nNumber of\nCocks per\nSquare Mile\n1948                                     - -\t\n8,640\n7,570\n7,570\n7,570\n167\n168\n138\n198\n12.3\n1949...\t\n14.2\n1950\n11.8\n1951 \t\n16.7\nThis may be a reflection of reduced hunting pressure due to hunter response to the\npoor season of 1950. With the exception of a few weeks in late February and March, the\nwinter weather was milder and probably more favourable to the birds than was the case\nin 1949 and 1950.\nThe total spring pheasant population was down from that of all preceding years of\nstudy. While cocks were higher in numbers than in any previous year since 1948, hens\nwere lower. A large influx of snowy owls, the first in several years, occurred during the\nwinter months. On two occasions, individuals of this species were seen to attack hen\npheasants, but in neither instance were these attacks successful. The remains of hen\npheasants eaten by snowy owls were found, but whether these birds had been killed by\nowls or merely scavenged was not known.\nTable II.\u2014Estimate of Breeding-population Size of the Pheasant in Delta Municipality,\nComparative for the Month of May, 1948 to 1951, Inclusive\n1948\n1949\n1950\n1951\nCrowing cocks per square mile-.\nSex ratio (hens per cock)-.\nApproximate breeding area (square miles) _\nEstimated cock population\t\nEstimated hen population...\nEstimated potential breeding population..\n12.3\n5:4\n39.0\n479.7\n2,590.4\n3,070.1\n14.2\n4:3\n39.0\n553.8\n2,481.3\n11.8\n5:3\n39.0\n460.2\n2,439.0\n16.7\n3:1\n39.0\n651.3\n2,019.0\n3,035.1    |    2,899.2    |    2,670.3\nThere appeared to be little difference in the progress of broods of 1951 and that of\nthe broods of 1950. One conspicuous fact noted this year, however, was that the survival\nof early hatched chicks seemed quite high.\nTable III,\n\u2014Brood Size\nYear\nAverage\ndumber of Chicks for the Months of\u2014\nMay\nJune\nJuly\nAugust\n1948 -  \t\n1949      .\n1950      _      \t\n1951  \t\n9.4\n6.6\n7.1\n6.2\n6.4\n5.0\n4.5\n5.2\n5.2\n5.3\n3.8\n4.7\n4.6\nAs was the case in 1950, pheasant productivity was good. Unlike the situation in\n1950, however, there was a well-maintained level of survival from August to October\n15th, 1951.   The exceptionally dry, warm spring and summer is believed to have been E 36\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\nfavourable to the development of the young birds. Crops generally matured earlier than\nis customary on the area. Grain seemed more abundant in acreage and provided a large\narea of undisturbed cover.\nTable IV.\u2014Percentage of Hens Rearing Broods\nPercentage of Hens Rearing Broods in the Months of\u2014\nYear\nJune\nJuly\nAugust\n1948                                             - -   -\t\n6.9\n6.6\n9.0\n47.9\n52.9\n71.6\n81.5\n1940\n80.1\n1950\n87.0\n1951\n85.1\nFrom Table V it may be seen that the productivity estimates as computed from data\ncollected until August of each year show productivity in 1951 to be lower than in 1950.\nWhile the figure for the latter year may have been valid for conditions existing in August,\nit was obvious during the hunting season that a marked decline in population density\nhad occurred in the period August to October, 1950.\nThe index in October, 1951, of 14.0 birds per mile was only 0.4 birds per mile less\nthan the figure obtained by roadside counts in July. From the same index it was also\nindicated that the 1951 Delta pheasant-crop approached in size that of 1948.\nTable V.\u2014 Productivity Estimate\n1948\n1949\n1950\n1951\nEstimated number of cocks in spring..\nEstimated number of hens In spring _\nEstimated percentage of hens rearing young\t\nEstimated number o*breeding hens successful-\nAverage brood size (August)\t\nCalculated juvenile fall increment\t\n479.7\n2,590.4\n81.5\n2,111.1\n5.3\n11,188.8\n553.8\n2,481.3\n80.1\n1,987.5\n3.8\n7,522.5\n460.2\n2,439.0\n87.0\n2,121.9\n4.7\n9,973.4\n651.3\n2,055.3\n85.1\n1,718.1\n4.6\n7,903.1\n1 Data on hen losses due to mowing and other factors were not obtained in 1951.

Much of these data were used in\nmaking recommendations at the Kelowna pheasant meeting on July 10th. A request\nfor a closed season by local Gun Clubs was not supported by the data on hand. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION,  1951\nE 37\nE. W. Taylor obtained preliminary data on pheasant range and habitat conditions\nin the following areas: Vernon, Lumby, Lavington, Armstrong, Enderby, Salmon Arm,\nKamloops, and Oliver. Other range and habitat data were collected in the following\nareas: Princeton, Keremeos, Oliver-Osoyoos, Grand Forks, Creston, Kelowna, Penticton, Summerland, Ashcroft, Lillooet, and Merritt. A similar range survey was made on\nVancouver Island. Victoria-Saanich, Cowichan-Duncan, Nanaimo, Courtenay, Comox,\nDenman Island, and Campbell River were visited. This time-consuming work is yet to\nbe concluded, and to date no report has been submitted.\nInvestigation of a proposed site for a pheasant-farm at Vernon was made on May\n12th. J. G. Cunningham, E. W. Taylor, J. Hatter, and members of the Vernon club\nwere present.\nThroughout the year numerous other inquiries and items of work pertaining to\npheasants were undertaken.   These are listed below:\u2014\n(1) Recommendations were submitted for establishment of experimental winter food-plots by A. C. Taylor on his property at Jardine. Several follow-\nup checks were made.\n(2) A meeting was attended at Kelowna with North and South Okanagan\nclubs to discuss the pheasant season.\n(3) Pinioning and release of experimental pheasants on the property of A. C.\nTaylor was carried out.\n(4) Banded pheasants were released on Ladner Delta.\n(5) A canvass of Jardine residents in Langley Municipality was made to\nascertain their reaction to a proposed closure of the area for study\npurposes.   A report was submitted September 14th, 1951.\n(6) Pre-hunt counts in the Interior and on the Ladner Delta were carried out,\nand winter counts for relative abundance were also conducted on the\nDelta.\n(7) Road checks on the Ladner Delta were continued as in previous years.\n(8) A report was prepared by E. W. Taylor on \" Pheasant Harvest Data Compiled from B.C. Game Club Postcard Returns in 1950.\" It was submitted\nApril, 1951.\n(9) The preparation and distribution of a special hunter-return card for\npheasants was undertaken. Analysis of returns was commenced in March,\n1951, and cannot be reported on at this time.\n(10) Pheasant possibilities on Galiano Island were investigated.   A preliminary\nreport was submitted December 24th, 1951.\n(11) A study of returns from pheasant releases in the Alberni Valley was\nundertaken following the open season.   A report is in progress.\nBlue Grouse\nVancouver Island.\u2014Checking-stations were again established at Campbell River\nand in the Cowichan Valley during the first week-end of the blue-grouse season.\nBrood counts were taken during the course of the production period and appear in\nTable VII. The prevailing forest closure during the summer of 1951 seriously curtailed\nfield activities in this connection.\nTable VII.\u2014Brood Size for Major Blue-grouse Districts on Vancouver\nIsland, June 3rd to August 29th\nArea\nNumber of\nFemales\nNumber of\nJuveniles\nMinimum\nBrood Size\nRemarks\n2\n5\n12\n43\n16\n18\n47\n132\n8.0\n3.6\n3.9\n3.1\nYoung broods.

Altitudinal migration is the major controlling factor in the annual take.\nForest closures in 1951 seriously curtailed hunting early in the season. By the time the\nclosure was lifted, a large majority of the birds were on their wintering grounds.\nInterior.-\u2014Generally speaking, blue grouse were unusually abundant in the Interior.\nTheir upward population trends have seemingly followed the same pattern as the ruffed\ngrouse, with both species at or near the \" cyclic \" peak in numbers.\nNo directed effort toward a study of blue-grouse production could be undertaken\ndue to other duties and problems attending the late establishment of the Game Management Biologist at Kamloops. Nine broods encountered during the summer averaged\n4.3 birds per brood.\nRuffed Grouse\nVancouver Island.\u2014Ruffed grouse on Vancouver Island were more abundant in\n1951 than usual. Unfortunately, few hunters seek this bird, and in many areas the\nsurplus supply of birds in the fall remains unharvested. A major contributing factor to\nthe low hunting pressure rests in the fact that by the time the ruffed-grouse season opens\nin October, the blue grouse have vacated the areas inhabited by the former species.\nThe small bag-limit of two birds per day and the short season in effect is not sufficient\nto attract other than the local resident into the field.\nTo realize a better harvest, it is highly desirable that the season on ruffed grouse\nopen much earlier than at present and that a combination ruffed- and blue-grouse bag\nbe permitted. The small size of some broods in September would not in itself seem to\njustify a late opening date.\nThe lack of an altitudinal migration common to blue grouse is demonstrated for\nruffed grouse in Table IX. It will be noted that there may be an increase in the number\nof birds observed per hour in the fall over the number seen during the summer. This\nis partially due, of course, to better visibility after the leaves fall. A reverse situation\nexists for blue grouse after the summer and fall migration takes place.

Brood counts\nduring the summer averaged 5.2 birds per covey.\nTo determine the influence of hunting pressure on the roadside abundance of birds\nin the Bridge Lake district, counts were made during the shooting season, which began\non September 15th and ended October 31st.   Snowfall prevented a post-season count.\nTable X.\u2014Roadside Density of Ruffed Grouse during the Shooting Season,\nBridge Lake District\nSept. 24, 25\nSept. 28\nOct. 4, 5\nOct. 13\nBirds per mile\t\nGrouse per covey-\nMiles per covey__-\n0.21\n2.60\n11.70\n0.23\n3.20\n14.00\n0.17\n1.60\n9.40\n0.19\n1.70\n8.90\nRoadside density based on birds per linear mile decreased only 9.5 per cent between\nSeptember 25th and October 13th.   This demonstrates the need for a longer season and\nmore liberal bag-limit during years of peak populations.   Hunting pressure on this species\nis noticeably light for most districts of the Province.   Hunting is largely confined to the\nroadside, and its magnitude in a given district is directly dependent upon the number of\nroads present.\nChukar Partridge\nReleases of chukar partridges were made near Walhachin, Kamloops, and in the\nVaseaux Lake area. Reports relating to these releases were submitted in August and\nSeptember.\nSeveral checks of the release sites were made, but to date no birds have been\npositively identified from the introductions.\nHungarian Partridge\nA cursory survey of the Fraser Valley was made prior to the release of Hungarians\nowned by the Lower Mainland Partridge Committee. A release was made at Agassiz on\nAugust 25th and a report submitted on August 30th, 1951.\nIt is not the policy of the Game Management Branch to encourage the release of\nHungarian partridges in British Columbia, particularly on the Lower Mainland. Habitat\nconditions are seldom suitable for the maintenance of a shootable population.\nFur-bearing Animals\nBeaver.\u2014The Management Branch assisted in the trapping of nuisance beaver in the\nAbbotsford area. Problems of this nature which arise in the future will probably be\nundertaken by the Predator-control Branch.\nTwo beaver surveys were made in the Penticton area with a view to encouraging\nbeaver on the adjacent watershed for the purpose of conserving water. Two reports\nwere submitted dealing with these cursory surveys.\nRecommendations were submitted by the Game Management Biologist on Vancouver Island relative to control of nuisance beaver in the Alberni area. A report was\nsubmitted on December 29th.\nAn investigation of Piers Island was made at the request of the Game Commission.\nA report relative to the establishment of beaver on this island was submitted on\nSeptember 24th.\nA survey of the success of beaver introductions on Queen Charlotte Islands in 1949\nwas undertaken by Dr. I. McT. Cowan. A report was submitted dealing with this\nsubject, together with general comments on the status of deer and elk.   The release in E 40 BRITISH COLUMBIA\n1949 resulted in the establishment of beaver which appear to be thriving in the new\nlocality.\nBig Game\nBig-game studies are mainly a function of the winter months, when the animals are\npresent on their winter range. At this time, herd reduction through exposure to a series\nof limiting factors is most important and largely determines the effective reproduction\nof a given species.\nAt the time of writing, winter studies are in progress, and, therefore, the results of\nthese are not available for the present report. Mention will be made of necessity only\nto big-game work carried out during the late spring, summer, and fall months.\nMoose.\u2014Permanent study-plots were established in the Bridge Lake district for the\npurpose of determining trends in range use and survival of browse. This affords an index\nto population level and hence is essential to management.\nObservations in July showed the following extent of forage use during the preceding\nwinter: Number of study-plots, 25; willow-stems per plot, 139; number of browsed\ntwigs, 536; number of unbrowsed twigs, 176.\nSeventy-five per cent of the previous year's growth of twigs was utilized during the\nwinter months by moose. On the basis of the plots studied, this figure is indicative of\nexcessive use of the range.\nAn additional number of study-plots will be established in 1952.\nNear Vidette Lake 100 willow-bushes were picked at random, and the number of\ntwigs remaining from the previous year's growth were counted on each bush. Sixty-three\nper cent of these had no twigs left and 19 per cent bore only one twig. In areas where\nthe palatable vegetation is used to this extent, there is urgent need of herd reduction\nthrough the removal of antlerless animals. Starvation, damaged range, and low reproductive gain are the undesirable results following such heavy use of the food-supply.\nAnother crash in the moose population is imminent in the Cariboo and Chilcotin unless\nremedial action is undertaken to reduce the population size.\nBighorn Sheep.\u2014Although no detailed information is on hand for the bighorn sheep\nat Squilax or Adams Lake, several attempts were made to obtain a population count in\nthese areas. Initial activities were directed mainly toward familiarization of the areas\ninhabited. It is doubtful if more intensive work on these isolated bands of sheep can be\nundertaken without additional field help.\nPopulation counts and range studies in the Ashnola district were continued by\nDr. I. McT. Cowan. Further inquiries as to the interrelationship of bighorns and\ndomestic live stock were carried out by the regional biologist at Kamloops and a member\nof the British Columbia Forest Service.   Reports were submitted in September.\nThe Vaseaux Lake band of sheep was visited by Dr. Cowan, and a report of findings\nand recommendations submitted. Studies in this area will be continued by Dr. Cowan\nand the regional biologist at Kamloops.\nElk.\u2014Two cursory surveys were made at the request of the Game Commission\nrelative to the proposed liberation of elk near Prince George and in the Castlegar area.\nAn attempt to appraise the status of the Princeton elk herd was made in May with\nrather indifferent success.\nDeer.\u2014No details are present at the time of writing on winter studies being carried\nout on Vancouver Island and in the Interior. These will be embodied in a report at\na later date. Summer work by the regional biologists has consisted of preliminary surveys\nand location of important winter ranges.\nWater-fowl\nOther than quarterly presentation of the bi-monthly water-fowl estimates to the\nPacific Flyway Committee and assistance in the breeding-ground survey, it has not been\npossible for the Management Branch to participate actively in water-fowl management. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION,  1951 E 41\nBreeding-ground counts were made in May and June in co-operation with the\nCanadian Wildlife Service.\nThe Tofino area on Vancouver Island was visited, and recommendations put forth\nto ensure future public access to this important hunting area.\nWater-fowl counts were made during three succeeding trips to Tofino. At the end\nof October the following species and numbers of water-fowl were counted on one portion\nof the Tofino mud-flats, approximately 2V% miles long: Western Canada goose, 2,300-\n2,400; widgeon, 6,800-7,500; green-winged teal, 2,500\u00b1500; pintail, 1,800-2,200;\nmallard, 600-800; buffle-head, 900-1,000; white-winged scoter, 250-300; scaup, 45;\nshoveller, 10; approximate total, 16,000.\nThe above concentrations represent only a portion of the water-fowl using this area\nin October. Other large concentrations which could not be counted exist farther up the\ninlet.

A. Larkin, Chief Fisheries Biologist\nThe developments of the past year can best be revised by going back a few years\nto the time when the Game Commission saw fit to obtain some biologists. At that time,\nin 1948, the thought in the minds of the Commission was that biologists should be hired\nto investigate the fish and the game animals of British Columbia with the object of\nindicating new ways of solving acute and chronic problems. The emphasis was on\nresearch, and in its first two years of operation the Fisheries Research Group of the\nGame Department concentrated on lake and stream surveys, steelhead investigations,\nstudies of the Kamloops trout, lake shiners and other fish, and associated research\nbiological problems.   In 1950 we looked forward optimistically to seeing the day when REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION, 1951 E 43\nthese investigations would be summarized and acted upon. There was a limited amount\nof investigation of industrial developments and a sufficient number of hatchery problems\nand minor fisheries problems to keep the staff active.\nBy the spring of 1950 the industrial boom was moving into high gear, the extensive\nPublic Works programme of road improvements was shortening the travelling-time from\nthe centres of population to the hinterland lakes, and the \" biggest ever \" influx of\nAmerican fishermen had begun.\nAlmost overnight, it seemed, the Department was required to accelerate all aspects\nof its fish-cultural programme, both practical and scientific. Between April of 1950 and\nApril of 1951 came many major industrial projects that posed problems to sport-fisheries\nand which demanded attention\u2014the Alcan project in Tweedsmuir Park was mooted, the\nGreater Vancouver Water District planned a dam for the Capilano River, the Okanagan\nflood-control project seemed ready to begin, the B.C. Electric announced plans for its\nJones Lake development\u2014these and a host of minor projects began to eat into the\nman-hours and money that were budgeted for much needed research and survey. But, at\nthe same time, the mushrooming resort business and the great increase in sport-fishing\ncould not be ignored. So for the year 1951-52 a programme of research and investigation\nwas planned that would be commensurate with the growing significance of sport-fishing\nas big business, and which would meet the need for investigation of industrial development.\nWith a look to the future it was decided that an attempt should be made to squeeze\nthe five-year lake- and stream-survey programme into four years, and in 1951, the third\nyear of the five, a record of fifty-four lakes was placed on the list for investigation.\nThese plans grew out of a major change in the Department that was incipient prior\nto the spring of 1951. The Department was referring many of its practical problems\nand all of the major industrial problems to its scientific branch for their comment and\ncriticism. Quite obviously, if any expansion was to come, to cope with the increasing\nproblems of protecting fish, it was to be in the scientific branch, where the work was\nbeing done. In other words, the scientific branch was going to do not only survey and\nresearch, but was going to be responsible for carrying out recommendations arising from\nthese investigations, was going to adjudicate on practical problems such as regulations\nand hatchery activities, and was going to fill the breach if and when major industrial\nprojects got under way.\nThe budget was boosted to $35,000, another man was added to the permanent\nstaff, and in April of 1951 we looked to a programme of work that would keep us even\nwith, or perhaps even ahead of, the bubbling sport-fishing boom.\nFor the first few months of the past year everything went well. By September the\nlake-survey crews looked back on a highly successful season. Fire closures had prevented\nsome surveys, and very low stream-levels reduced the value of others, but all except nine\nof the original list of fifty-four had been studied and thirty-one additional lakes had been\nsurveyed. The summer's total of seventy-six was more than had been accomplished\nin the two previous years together, although, on the average, the lakes were smaller and\nmore quickly surveyed.\nThe lakes and streams investigated were divided as follows: Vancouver Island, 18;\nLower Mainland, 35; Southern Okanagan, 23.\nThe analysis of the material collected proceeded slowly during the winter months\nand is still far from its final refinement, but some major points of interest and value have\nalready become evident. There is good reason to believe that the stocking of cut-throat\ntrout in many Vancouver Island and Lower Mainland lakes would be preferable to the\nstocking of Kamloops trout from the Interior. A preliminary reconnaissance of cut-throat\ncollecting-stations has been made. Through the foresight and diligence of Fishery\nOfficer Pells, of Smiths Falls Hatchery, in raising a cut-throat brood stock, 300,000\ncut-throat eggs are available for rearing this year.   One hundred thousand will be raised E 44 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nat the Puntledge Park Hatchery on Vancouver Island and 200,000 at the Smiths Falls\nHatchery.\nAnalysis of water from Vancouver Island and Lower Mainland lakes has suggested\nthat low mineral content may be the primary reason for low productivity of coastal\nwaters. Interior lakes generally have from two to ten times the mineral content of coastal\nlakes. This bodes ill for the immediate prospect of making extensive improvements\nin these areas, because scientific knowledge of lake fertilization is still in an early stage,\nand much of the work that has been done in trying to raise yield by increasing the mineral\ncontent of natural waters has given negative or discouraging results.\nThe survey findings for 1951, together with those for 1949 and 1950, were consulted\nin the compilation of the distribution lists for the coming season. Thus each season\nmore and more of the lakes that are stocked annually have had new stocking schedules,\nthe effects of which will be closely scrutinized and evaluated.\nThe third year of lake survey was a marked success and has opened up many new\nfields for investigation, has indicated some new avenues of management, and has fully\njustified its expense.\nOur research programme has continued along some old paths and along a few new\nones suggested by studies in 1949 and 1950. Stuart Smith recently completed a fascinating study on growth rates of Kamloops trout, particularly as they were effected in\nPaul Lake by the selective action of the fishery and by the explosive increase of the lake\nshiner in recent years. Mr. Smith noted major changes in the trout population of this\nmuch studied lake, and his findings will have very extensive and important application\nto our stocking policy for lakes that contain shiners.\nDavid Scott made an intensive investigation of factors affecting egg size and numbers\nof eggs in Kamloops trout, and this study will be continued.\nDr. Edgar Black and Mrs. Black continued their work on the temperature and\noxygen tolerance of fish which occur in British Columbia. This work was sponsored\nby the National Research Council, and the Game Department assisted by providing\naccommodation for the work and fish for the experiments. These studies emphasized\nthe close correspondence between temperature and oxygen tolerances of fish, and conditions of temperature and oxygen in lakes where summer or winter kill occurs. With an\nunderstanding of the causes of this common phenomenon in British Columbia, we are\nin a position to suggest ways in which it may be overcome.\nDr. Clemens, Mr. McMynn, and the writer have been compiling an extensive series\nof stomach-content analysis of trout with a view to reviewing the food habits of our\ncommon sport species.\nExperiments on the effects of various hatchery diets on survival of fish when planted\nwere continued and should be finalized in the coming season.\nI. Barrett conducted some vital studies on the physiology of Kamloops trout, with\nspecial reference to the effects of starvation on the general vigour of fish and their\ntolerances to high temperature and low oxygen. These studies will have a valuable\napplication to the problem of getting the best results in stocking. These studies should\nindicate principles of handling fish, which, together with a consideration of the biology of\nthe water to be stocked, would ensure maximum survival and maximum return to anglers.\nSteelhead studies were continued under F. P. Maher and have been largely sabotaged\nby the vagaries of nature as embodied in the Chilliwack River. Mr. Maher's studies will\nbe continued in 1952.\nSeveral other minor research projects were left almost in a state of abeyance until\nmore time can be spent on them.\nExperiments were conducted on the use of fish-tox in streams. Various streams\nwere poisoned experimentally, to determine, under field conditions, the best dosage for\nkilling coarse fish and to evaluate the relative cost of poisoning as contrasted with the REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION,  1951 E 45\noperation of coarse-fish traps. Results of this work were positive, encouraging, and\nin most instances nothing short of spectacular. Doses of 5 ppm. applied for fifteen\nminutes were best in most situations. Best results were obtained when applications\nwere made at intervals ranging from one-quarter to half a mile, depending on stream conditions. In one trial in a creek tributary to Cluculz Lake near Prince.George, approximately 4 tons of suckers were killed with 16 pounds of fish-tox. In another trial 2 tons\nof suckers were killed with 14 pounds of fish-tox. Fish-tox costs 30 cents a pound.\nAt this rate then 4 tons of fish were killed for $4.80 in the first trial; 2 tons for $4.20 in\nthe second. The economy of the use of poison in streams is obvious. The drawbacks\nare equally obvious ten days after poisoning, when the fish decompose. Disposal of\nthe dead fish is a major problem associated with coarse-fish poisoning.\nThe results of the poisoning of two lakes in the One Mile chain in 1947 have been\ncollated, and it has been noted that the poisoning of the two lakes did not produce\nequally satisfactory results in the first four years after poisoning. The reasons for this\nhave tied in closely with observations on marginal lakes for trout, and the important\npoint has emerged that it is imperative to be sure of the suitability of a body of water\nfor trout before poisoning is entertained. The absence or sparsity of trout in a lake\nmay not be primarily caused by the presence of coarse fish. Unless the harmful effect\nof coarse fish on trout is quite clear in a particular body of water, then poisoning may\nhave questionable value. Since poisoning is only economically feasible for small lakes\nin which suitability for trout may often be in doubt, the results of this study have served\nthe valuable purpose of emphasizing the need for a cautious poisoning programme.\nThe survey and research activities of the scientific group were constructive and\nencouraging in 1951. However, the last twelve months have been characterized also\nby a preoccupation with increasing the scope of the work of the group to include the\nproblems attending industrial expansion in British Columbia. In 1951-52 twelve major\ninvestigations of this type were conducted, and roughly fifty smaller projects were\nbriefly investigated. The progress to be reported on these projects is encouraging, and\nextensive concessions have been gained for protection of sport-fisheries. Few of these\ninvestigations were planned in budgeting for the year, and all were done by overexpend-\ning funds and overtaxing the staff. Was it worth the extra expense and extra effort?\nIt would be premature and unwise to review all progress so far and to speculate on the\neventual return from the investment. Further, the active co-operation and, for some\nprojects, the initiative of the Dominion Department of Fisheries have greatly enhanced\nour representations for sport-fish interests. But we might make a lump estimate of\nmoneys conceded or expended for protection of fish as a result of these investigations,\nand it would far exceed the cost of the work. At the present time, with many negotiations in early stages, the return on the cost of the work is already in the ratio of about\n20 to 1; for every dollar spent in investigation, twenty dollars have been spent or\npromised for protection of sport-fish.\nAssociated with British Columbia's current boom, there has been a stepping-up of\nactivity in almost all types of resource use. More mines are starting or reopening\noperations, and each has an associated pollution problem, sometimes only minor; new\nagricultural areas are being developed, and for many the problems of reconciling irrigation with fish protection must be faced; new forestry regulations have encouraged large-\nscale logging for pulp, and each pulp-mill needs water for operation and may pose\na problem of pollution; more people in the Province means more sport-fishermen and\nmore problems of maintaining stocks. This heightened activity has meant more work\nfor everybody in the Department, administrators, Game Wardens, and scientists.\nCarrying this extra load on the programme of research and survey has precipitated\nthe major reorganization of fisheries work in the Department that has recently taken\nplace.   It involves a 60-per-cent increase in the budget for scientific-work, the employ- E 46 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nment of seven new men, all university-trained, six of them fisheries specialists.    Five\nare added to the scientific staff and two to the hatchery staff.\nAll of the fisheries work of the Department, practical and scientific, will in future\nbe integrated into one unit, for which there will be one budget and a central co-ordinating\nauthority. The fisheries work is subdivided into four divisions, each with a biological\nstaff, as follows:\u2014\nFirst, the Protection Division, concerned with the investigation of all water-\nlicence applications and all pollutions which threaten fisheries interests.\nHeaded by Mr. McMynn, assisted by Mr. Vernon.\nSecond, the Management Division, concerned with the assessment of the\nmonetary value of sport-fisheries, the statistics of the annual catch, and\nthe improvement of lakes and streams. Headed by Mr. Smith, assisted\nby Mr. Stringer.\nThird, the Research and Survey Division, headed by Mr. Lindsey and Mr.\nNorthcote.\nFourth, the Hatchery Division, directed by divisional offices and with two\nbiologists attached\u2014Mr. Barrett and Mr. Hum.\nIt is to be hoped that with this major increase in the size of our budget and our\nstaff, and with this reorganization, we may be able to cope with the problems of the\ncoming year.\nIn concluding the resume of the year's activities, I would like to stress that the\nencouragement and criticism of the Commissioners and their scientific advisers, Dr.\nClemens and Dr. Cowan, have been of great value to us.\nPREDATOR-CONTROL BRANCH\nW. W. Mair, Supervisor of Predator-control\nThroughout the past year the major portion of our effort has, very naturally, been\nexpended in routine control operations. These have included work done in pursuance\nof our policy of control on a regional basis and the answering of direct complaints. The\nlatter have been in connection with threat to human life (from cougars), threat to domestic\nlive stock and poultry, and threat to our fur and game. Operations as a result of threat\nto human life have in the main been most costly, since most of the complaints have been\nfrom remote areas of Vancouver Island or the coastal Mainland and have necessitated\ncostly aeroplane flights. They have on occasion required lengthy hunt patrols, sometimes\nof a month's duration. The past year's costs in this respect have amply demonstrated\nthe need for some form of registered cougar-hunter system.\nDuring the year, reports of cougars have increased somewhat over 1950. Main\nincrease has been from the areas already noted. However, we anticipated some increase\nin cougar reports, as it was known that cougars have been extending their range northward year by year. Bounties have been slightly up, with 488 claimed for this year,\ncompared to 395 for 1950. Departmental personnel, including permanent hunters, have\nbeen active in hunting these animals. During the year they have accounted for 117\ncougars.\nAdministrative groundwork has been laid for the implementation of a registered\n(bonus) cougar-hunter system, pursuant to the ideas expressed at the 1950 Game\nConvention. The system will be implemented on Vancouver Island early next year, and\nit is hoped that it will develop a hard corps of professional cougar-hunters who will be\nable to take much of the burden of answering cougar complaints off the shoulders of the\nDepartment. This will permit our own personnel to carry out organized area hunting as\ndictated by game and agricultural needs, plus, of course, emergency complaint hunting\nas required. The success or failure of this system will largely rest with the hunters\nregistered, and with the public generally in their support of this programme. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION, 1951 E 47\nFoxes have increasingly demanded our attention, and this past year we have taken\non the predator staff W- J- Hillen, an experienced hunter from the Interior. He has found\nthe coastal conditions somewhat difficult due to uncertainty of weather, but in the four-\nmonth period employed has taken 17 foxes. It is anticipated that he will soon have the\nmost critical situation under control. It has not yet been possible to carry out much\nwork on the foxes on Vancouver Island, but some plans have been laid this year for\nimplementation in 1952.\nBears proved to be a major problem during the summer throughout the Interior\nfrom the north line of the Canadian National Railways south to the International\nBoundary. This was no doubt due to the general shortage of wild berries. Innumerable\ncomplaints were answered, and in all 91 bears were killed\u2014by rifle, trap, snare, cyanide\ngun, and by poison. In the Kelowna area alone, one operation, carried on throughout\nthe summer, cost $3,232.97. Fourteen bears were definitely killed, and seven others are\nconsidered certain kills as extremely deadly poison baits were taken. Stockmen's losses\ndropped from 58 head in 1949 and 95 head in 1950 (their own figures and probably\nincludes sheep) to 7 (possibly 9) in 1951. Thus the operation was successful in view\nof present-day meat prices. Valuable techniques were learned during the summer for\nfuture operations.\nThe 1080 poison programme has apparently been most successful and has been\nenlarged in scope this winter (1951-52). Coyote bounties dropped in most Agencies\nwhere stations have been located, and over the Province generally there has been a drop\nfrom 9,824 in 1950 to 5,200 in 1951. Our own personnel killed 546 coyotes during the\nyear by trap, rifle, coyote-getter, etc. It is not possible to determine the kill by 1080, but\nit is estimated to be in the neighbourhood of 4,000 to 6,000 coyotes. Operations have\nbeen extended this winter to include the Peace River Block, along the Canadian National\nRailways from McBride to Smithers Detachments, and extended areas in the Chilcotin\nand Ashcroft districts. All areas baited last winter have been rebaited, although some\nspecific station locations have been changed. At time of writing, all reports are not\ncomplete, so final number of stations is not available, but the total will be much greater\nthan for last winter (153).   Already over 200 have been recorded.\nOur wolf-control programme suffered somewhat last winter due to the emphasis\nplaced on coyote work. However, 107 wolves were taken by our personnel, 14 of them\nin the Cariboo. One major aeroplane flight from Lower Post through to Cold Fish Lake\naccounted for 30 wolves known dead and probably many more. Bad weather and\ndeep snow prevented further check. Plans have been formulated for further aeroplane\nactivities during March and April of 1952; these will be the largest operations of this\ntype carried out to date.\nFurther to the wolf problem, a preliminary check was made in the Atlin and\nTelegraph Creek areas to determine at least the general public opinion prevailing in this\nmatter, and to question guides and trappers. The general opinion was given that Dall\nsheep and caribou are still slowly decreasing in numbers, with the wolf the main offender.\nPlans have been initiated for a field investigation next year. As a result of talks held at\nPrince Rupert, it is also planned to investigate cougar and wolf predation in the Gardner\nCanal area next March or April.\nA limited number of poison permits have been issued to trappers and farmers, etc.,\nfor protection of their own trap-lines or private property. Certain applications have\nbeen refused where applicants were considered unreliable, or where our own operations\nwould cover the situation. The intention is to continue to limit such permits to areas\nbeyond the scope of our present physical means, or until such time as education and\nawareness of the dangers in poison use are sufficiently adequate to permit expansion of\npublic participation in our poison programme. That our operations have been successful\nso far has been demonstrated by the constantly increasing confidence of the trappers, in\nparticular, in our poison programme. E 48 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nThe poisoning of coyotes in the Ashnola area may be considered a separate project,\nthough still an integral part of the 1080 programme. According to Dr. I. McT. Cowan,\nthe spring count of California bighorn lambs this year showed most gratifying increase\nover the previous year. At his request we have continued the programme in that area.\nBaits have been placed in the Vaseaux Lake area to protect that band of California\nbighorn sheep.\nThe mouse-poisoning operations of MacMillan & Bloedel on Vancouver Island\nwere observed in company with D. J. Robinson, regional biologist of the Department for\nthat area. The operations were well carried out, and it was considered that no harm\nwill ensue to beneficial wild life. It must be accepted that this type of operation will\nbecome widespread in the logging industry; thus the Department can only ensure that\nthe utmost precautions are taken to protect wild life. During the summer J. Bendell,\na graduate student at University of British Columbia, carried out some studies on the\nlethality of 1080 poison to mice. Interesting facts were noted, but the Sayward area\nfires prevented any adequate observations or definite conclusions. Mr. Robinson will\nprobably carry out any further tests. E. H. Samann, Assistant Supervisor of Predator-\ncontrol, at Kamloops, carried out comparative mouse-trapping for the second year, to\ndetermine effect of coyote-control upon mouse populations. So far no significant\ndifferences have been noted.\nEquipment has been improved during the year, and plans have been laid for further\nadvances in the future. New-style jackets were issued to all Predator-control personnel,\nto foster greater public awareness of our work and to assist personnel in receiving public\nco-operation. A flash was designed by D. A. Smith, a commercial artist of Winnipeg, on\na pattern outlined by our Supervisor. This identifying flash is worn on the left upper\narm of the jacket.\nThe major plans for 1952 have been discussed briefly at appropriate points\nthroughout this report. They are herewith summarized, to give some idea of the broad\nframework of our coming operations.\n(1) Establishment of a registered cougar-hunter system, eventually to include\nat least one hunter for every major cougar-complaint area. Purpose is to\nincrease probability of killing complaint cougars, to cut down excessive\ntravelling costs answering complaints, and to free permanent predatory-\nanimal hunters for more long-range control work.\n(2) To institute limited cougar-tagging on Vancouver Island, to enable us to\ndetermine cougar movements, seasonal or otherwise. This information\nwill be most valuable for future planning, as well as from the scientific\nview-point.\n(3) Investigation will be made of the wolf situation developing in the Nanaimo\narea.   Poisoning operations already under way.\n(4) Fox traps and getters have been supplied to the predatory-animal hunter\nat Merville, and an effort will be made to bring the fox problem around\nSayward area under control.\n(5) To continue the 1080 poison programme, expanding it where required.\nWhere coyotes are considered controlled to a level concomitant with good\nmanagement, or where complaint of depredations cease, operations will\nbe limited or completely suspended until further required.\n(6) It is planned to carry out some further bear-control in the Kelowna area.\nSuch further work will depend upon the situation as it develops. Coyote-\ngetters will probably be used primarily.\n(7) Mouse-trapping experiment in the Kamloops area will be continued one\nmore year. REPORT OF PROVINCIAL GAME COMMISSION,  1951 E 49\n(8) Experiments will be carried out regarding lethality of cyanide, and possibility of secondary poisoning.\n(9) Wolf-poisoning from the air will be carried out in February and March.\nIt is expected to spend about $500 in the Peace River Block, Azouzetta\nLake, and possibly Porcupine Lake, etc., and about $1,500 in the Cold\nFish Lake and Telegraph Creek-Atlin areas.\n(10) Recommended employment of a temporary predatory-animal hunter during February and March in Dawson Creek area to hunt wolves (Pine\nRiver area), a temporary predatory-animal hunter at Smithers to hunt\nwolves and coyotes (February and March at least), and a temporary\npredatory-animal hunter for one month in Prince Rupert area to hunt\nwolves. Further intended to poison wolves in Kitsumgallum Lake area\nif situation requires it.\n(11) Plan an investigation lasting thirty days or more of Dall sheep and caribou\nsomewhere in Telegraph Creek country. Suggested survey representative\nareas that might give some basis for more general conclusions regarding\nwhole Cassiar.\n(12) Plan investigation of Gardner Canal and Kitimat area, probably March\nor April, for the purpose of determining cougar and wolf situation, particularly with respect to goat. This investigation might be made instead\nof extending Cassiar trip beyond the month.\n(13) To institute limited wolf-tagging in one area of \" D \" Division to determine\nwolf movements, of vital interest to future control plans.\n(14) It is hoped to plan the work so that Predator-control staff can take over\nlive-trapping of beaver, and any other activities of a similar nature; for\nexample, nuisance trapping or shooting. It is believed this will not interfere with present work, but will provide a wider range of interest for the\nhunters.\nIn conclusion, our operations have been more widespread than in 1950 and have\ndemanded greater effort on the part of all Predator-control personnel. Three part-time\nemployees have been engaged\u2014two on wolf-control and one on cougar-control.
