Lynx, Fox. Dec. 1st to March Slat
Beaver. Sea Otter, Cloned Season
Bear (black, glacier, ctnnamon).
wolf, wolverine, squirrel, marmot,
(whistler) Snowshoe and Arctic.
Hare, are unprotected.
Three changes are noteworthy la
the above:
FIRST—The fox season has beea
advanced to December 1st and ex
tended to March 31st. This ts to
prevent the great influx of unprime
skins into the hands of the traders
during the early days of the ope*
sta-on. We estimate that the mon
ey value of the fox catch can be
increased more than 10% by giv
ing the animals 15 days more to
mature before trapping.
The advisability of prescribing
different open seasons for white fox
and red fpx was discussed, but the
habits and ranges of the two species
are too closely associated to allow
SECOND—The change in the
muskrat season is radical and, we
believe, efficacious.
The long midwinter season is not
wanted either by trappers or trad
ers. It leads to a destruction of
houses and runaways that‘ would
certainly exterminate the rat if long
continued. The forty days open
season at the breakup gives the
hunteT a chance to select and shoot
the finest rats at a time when their
pelage has reached its higher
point of excellence.
THIRD—The season is closed ot
Beaver. The trapper forced this
issue upon himself by a wholesale
destruction of beaver bouses during
the two years open season granted.
