GOVERNOR'S
REPORT ON '
ALASKA GAME
In his annual report to the secretary
of agriculture with respect to game
conditions in Alaska, Governor Strong
says, in part:
“During the past year the Alaska
game law has been enforced as effi
ciently as the appripriation available
for that purpose would permit; and
while there have been a number of
violations for which convictions have
been secured in the courts, there were
doubtless many violations that were
not reported. The game animals, wat
er-fowl, and shorebirds of the terri
tory are scattered over a large area,
and only nine game wardens are em
ployed regularly. The greater propor
tion of the violations occur in the
more remote districts seldom reached
by game wardens. Violations of the
law are reported at points along the
international boundary between Alas
ka and Canada, where hunters on both
sides of the line kill game for ship
ment into Yukon Territory and else
where. In order to meet this situation
an international understanding of
some kind for the protection of game
would seem to be the only solution.
“As has been pointed out in previous
annual reports of thi j office, the Alas
ka game law is inadequate in many
respects. Recommendations have been
so often made, with the purpose of
having its weak spots strengthened,
that it is considered a work of super
erogation in this annual report to re
peat them. When the game animals
of Alaska shall have been practically
exterminated perhaps action will be
taken looking toward their propel’
conservation.
"The regulations that have been
promulgated by the department of ag
riculture from time to time have been
useful, especially in the protection of
the deer of southeastern *Afaska, of
mountain goats of the same section,
and of moose and sheep and goats on
the Kenai peninsula. In the other
game sections where moose and cari
bou are found, there are greater op
portunities for violations of the law
by market hunters, except possibly on
the Kenai peninsula, because of the
large areas where these animals are
found. In interior Alaska, along the
Yukon river and tributary streams,
caribou and moose afford the fresh
meat supply of many communities.
Of course, it is always claimed when
fresh moose or caribou meat is found
in the possession of people after the
open season has elapsed, that the meat
•was taken during the open season, and
the officers of the law have no way of
proving that such is not the case. A
few years ago a stock raiser in the
Circle district of the Yukon started a
cattle ranch, his purpose being to af
ford a fresh beef supply to the people
of the district. His cattle have done
well, but he has not been able to dis
pose of his entire product for the reas
on that the residents will not buy
fresh beef so long as they can get
fresh moose or caribou for the taking.
It is undoubted that the raising of
beef cattle is thus discouraged, and a
promising industry is retarded be
cause the miner and prospector are
able to secure game meat in any sea
son, either by actual violation of the
game law or by assuming, as many
do, that they are exempt from its op
eration, inasmuch as “miners and ex
plorers” are permitted to “kill any
game animal or bird for food or cloth
ing at any time, when in need of food,”
the same privilege being extended to
Indians and other natives. It, there
fore, frequently happens that miners
and prospectors are always in need of
food of this kind, although their lar
ders may be replete with bacon, ham,
beans, and canned goods of various
kinds; and it may be even possible for
them to secure supplies of fresh beef,
and other fresh domestic meats with
little inconvenience. These men rea
son that they have a perfect right to
get their supply of fresh meat from
the game of the country—a right
which, it seems to me, is not carried
in the law, this privilege being ac
corded them only when they have no
other food upon which to subsist.
Kenai Peninsula Moose.
‘‘The regulation promulgated by the
department on July 24, 1916, which
prohibits the sale of moose meat on
the Kenai peninsula, has already been
productive of excellent results. In this
connection, Chief Game Warden
Baughman, whose headquarters are at
Seward, says that the sale of moose
and mountain sheep meat has been
stopped completely through the opera
tion of this regulation. He adds:
“ ‘The issuance of the new regu
lation has saved at least 25 moose
and, perhaps, 15 sheep from mar
ket hunters in a single month at
Seward and vicinity. The regula
tion is received by all of our best
citizens as the greatest game sav
er ever passed in Alaska. Moose
are reported as being plentiful
and mountain sheep are on the
increase on the Kenai peninsula.’
“Moose are also reported in increas
ing numbers in some parts of the Yu
kon valley and the country contiguous
thereto, as, for instance, in the Tanana
valley region. It is to be doubted,
however, whether there is any sub
stantial increase in the number of
moose in those sections. However, it
is not believed that these animals are
in danger of complete extinction at
this time, nor will they be until the
permanent settlement of the regions
where they now have their habitat has
taken place, a matter of many years
to come. A number are killed each
year by Indians and white men, and it
is a matter of regret that some of
these white hunters seem to exercise
no thought for the preservation of
these animals.
Caribou.
“There are still vast numbers of
caribou in interior Alaska, and some
are found in the Alaska peninsula, the
Kenai peninsula, and in northwestern
Alaska. Interior Alaska, however, is
their favorite feeding ground. On the
vast interior plateaui, on the hills and
in the valleys during the time of their
annual migration, literally hundreds
and thousands of these animals may
be seen, according to the reports of
game wardens and prospectors and
miners. This animal furnishes the
principal source of meat supply for
the people of the more remote mining
camps and hamlets during the winter
season.
Disappearance of Ptarmigan.
“From interior, northwestern and
southwestern Alaska come reports of
the almost total disappearance of
ptarmigan. A year ago these birds
were reported very plentiful in the
different sections of the territory;
now hunters and others state that are
seldom seen and never in the large
flocks of previous years. A similar
condition is reported as to grouse.
Game Warden Baughman, of Seward,
reports that ptarmigan and grouse
are very scarce in that section, and
he attributes the scarcity to ‘migra
tion to other parts.’ But from Nome,
in northwestern Alaska, and from the
Yukon country comes the same story,
and the question naturally arises,
Whither have these birds migrated?
So far as can be learned, there has
been no disease of any kind among
them; the past winter was not unfav
orable, neither was the breeding sea
son the past spring and summer. A
legend among the Eskimos of north
western Alaska is to the effect that
more than 30 years ago the ptarmigan
of that section suddenly disappeared
only to return a few years later in
greater numbers than before.
“On the Pacific coast of Alaska the
past winter was exceedingly cold for
a short period, and numbers of ducks
were reported as having been frozen
and starved to death in the ice which
formed at the heads of various bays
and inlets. The game wardens report
that because of this these wild fowl
are not so numerous as in former
years.
Brown Bear.
“The brown bear of Alaska, and es
pecially those on Kodiak island and
the contiguous mainland, continue to
take their toll of human life, besides
aiding in the destruction of wild ani
mal life. During the past year no
less than three white men were re
ported to have been killed by these an
imals, and, besides, the death of a
number of Indians was reported from
the same cause. Why the brown bear
should be protected is an inexplicable
mystery to the resident of Alaska who
has first-hand knowledge of the habits
of this beast.
As to Recommendations.
“No specific recommendations are
made in this report as to changes
needed in the Alaska game law. This
has been done in previous annual re
ports, but, as no results have been ap
parent, I have refrained from repeat
ing the recommendations contained in
previous annual reports and shall con
tent myself with saying that the pres
ent game law needs a thorough revis
ion, or, better still, it should be re
pealed and a new and comprehensive
law enacted in its stead.”
