The killing of female hoofed animals should be prohibited by law.

Montana has not yet adopted the model law for the protection of
non-game birds. Only seven states have failed in that respect.

The use of automatic and pump shotguns, and silencers, should
immediately be prohibited.

Montana's bag-limits are not wholly bad; but the grizzly bear has almost
been exterminated, save in the Yellowstone Park. Some of these days, if
things go on as they are now going, the people of Montana will be rudely
awakened to the fact that they have 50,000 licensed hunters but no
longer any killable game! And then we will hear enthusiastic talk about
"restocking."

NEBRASKA:

No other state has bestowed close seasons upon as many extinct species
of game as Nebraska. Behold how she has resolutely locked the doors of
her empty cage after all these species have flown: Elk, antelope, wild
turkey, passenger pigeon, whooping crane, sage grouse, ptarmigan and
curlew. In a short time the pinnated grouse can be added to the list of
has-beens.

There is little to say regarding the future of the game of Nebraska; for
its "future" is now history.

Provision should be made for one or more state game preserves.

Spring shooting of shore birds and waterfowl should be prohibited.

A larger and more effective warden service should be provided.

Doves should be removed from the game list.

NEVADA:

The sage grouse should be given a ten-year close season, for
recuperation.

All non-game birds should have perpetual protection.

The cranes, now verging on extinction, and the pigeons and doves
should at once be taken out of the list of game birds, and forever
protected.

All the shore birds need five years of close protection.

A State Game Warden whose term of office is not less than four years
should be provided for.

A corps of salaried game protectors should be chosen for active and
aggressive game protection.

Nevada's bag limits are among the best of any state, the only
serious flaw being "10 sage grouse" per day: which should be 0!

Nevada still has a few antelope; and _we beg her to protect them all
from being hunted or killed!_ It is my belief that if the antelope is
really saved anywhere in the United States outside of national parks and
preserves, it will be in the wild and remote regions of Nevada, where it
is to be hoped that lumpy-jaw has not yet taken hold of the herds.
