The "Whys" Of Relaxed
Hunting Restrictions
If you're not registered to
—Oct, 6 is last day to
BE REGISTERED
vote
The Sentinel is publishing this
week the first two articles outlining the reasons for proposed regulations and laws- pertaining to the
hunting season this fall. The articles were written for The Sentinel
by James W. Wheeler, district
game supervisor.
The extension of the grouse season from 21 to 41 days is recommended in order to make a, better
harvest of this game species.
Grouse populations follow a cyclic
pattern over roughly a ten, year
period, for example, having a peak
of population and a low level of
population within this period.
The grouse will, drop off again
whether, they are hunted or not
and it is known that gunning pressure such as we have in Michigan,
will not either speed up or slbV
down this teudency. The grottse
population in the Gladwin Refuge,
where the birds are never hunted,
follow the ups and downs of the
birds where hunting is allowed.
These population changes work
the other way too. "Wisconsin and
Minnesota both had closed seasons
on grouse in the mid-40's when the
grouse were at their lowest point,
while Michigan continued open
seasons. Still Michigan's population increased at the same time
and approximately the s a m e
amount proportionately as in those
two states, this, plus the fact that
Michigan hunters eajoye*d several
years hunting denied to the hunt-
era In the other states.
Last year we liad the greatest
and still we have a high grouse
population and abundant breeding
stock. Figur.es available from Wisconsin and Minnesota show their
grouse population to be remaining
at a-high level in spite of their
seasons of 51 and 44 day seasons,
respectively.
Michigan Game Biologists, backed up by 15 years of kill records
and information from other states,
believe that our grouse population
can stand a greater kill and a longer season. -Since our aim in conservation of wildlife is to furnish
as much recreation for as many
people for the longest lime without damage to our wildlife population, we recommend a 41 day season on grouse in Zones 1 and .2. We.
do not believe that the regulations
should curtail the recreation of
the thousands of hunters when this
species of game can stand additional pressure.
There has been considerable
comment on what this change in
the grouse season would do to the
archery deer season which also
starts October 1st. It is true there
may be conflict when both gunners
and. archers are in the woods but
many archers have been successful
after the grouse season opened in
the past and inahy will continue
to do so now. Guns are not usually
numerous enough to cause serious
conflict with archers. Here again
the inconvenience to archers is
more than out weighed by thejidd-
ed benefits to the larger group of
Most northerly point of Eisenhower's tour will bring him td Bay
City and Saginaw where he will
^speak on October 1st. The top man
on the Republican ticket is expected to take quick advantage of
the favorable publicity which resulted from an attempted smear of
candidate Nixon by left wingers
and communist sympathizer's.
Nixon went before a national
audience and proved, himself
clean and honest in public affairs,
Now both he and Eisenhower will
probably carry an aggressive fight
to the Democratic foe asking,
"Can't you Denis prove yourselves
honest and able too?"
Many upstaters will attend the
Eisenhower rally and hear him
talk. They are awaiting final in^
formation about the time and place
of Ike's meeting. <
Both County chairman Hughes,
aud party worker, Mrs. Elizabeth
Little are busy passing out the
word concerning the meetings at
Farwell and Clare at which Fred
M. Alger, candidate for Michigan,
governor will speak.

The "Whys" Of Relaxed Hunting Restrictions If you're not registered to —Oct, 6 is last day to BE REGISTERED vote The Sentinel is publishing this week the first two articles outlining the reasons for proposed regulations and laws- pertaining to the hunting season this fall. The articles were written for The Sentinel by James W. Wheeler, district game supervisor. The extension of the grouse season from 21 to 41 days is recommended in order to make a, better harvest of this game species. Grouse populations follow a cyclic pattern over roughly a ten, year period, for example, having a peak of population and a low level of population within this period. The grouse will, drop off again whether, they are hunted or not and it is known that gunning pressure such as we have in Michigan, will not either speed up or slbV down this teudency. The grottse population in the Gladwin Refuge, where the birds are never hunted, follow the ups and downs of the birds where hunting is allowed. These population changes work the other way too. "Wisconsin and Minnesota both had closed seasons on grouse in the mid-40's when the grouse were at their lowest point, while Michigan continued open seasons. Still Michigan's population increased at the same time and approximately the s a m e amount proportionately as in those two states, this, plus the fact that Michigan hunters eajoye*d several years hunting denied to the hunt- era In the other states. Last year we liad the greatest and still we have a high grouse population and abundant breeding stock. Figur.es available from Wisconsin and Minnesota show their grouse population to be remaining at a-high level in spite of their seasons of 51 and 44 day seasons, respectively. Michigan Game Biologists, backed up by 15 years of kill records and information from other states, believe that our grouse population can stand a greater kill and a longer season. -Since our aim in conservation of wildlife is to furnish as much recreation for as many people for the longest lime without damage to our wildlife population, we recommend a 41 day season on grouse in Zones 1 and .2. We. do not believe that the regulations should curtail the recreation of the thousands of hunters when this species of game can stand additional pressure. There has been considerable comment on what this change in the grouse season would do to the archery deer season which also starts October 1st. It is true there may be conflict when both gunners and. archers are in the woods but many archers have been successful after the grouse season opened in the past and inahy will continue to do so now. Guns are not usually numerous enough to cause serious conflict with archers. Here again the inconvenience to archers is more than out weighed by thejidd- ed benefits to the larger group of Most northerly point of Eisenhower's tour will bring him td Bay City and Saginaw where he will ^speak on October 1st. The top man on the Republican ticket is expected to take quick advantage of the favorable publicity which resulted from an attempted smear of candidate Nixon by left wingers and communist sympathizer's. Nixon went before a national audience and proved, himself clean and honest in public affairs, Now both he and Eisenhower will probably carry an aggressive fight to the Democratic foe asking, "Can't you Denis prove yourselves honest and able too?" Many upstaters will attend the Eisenhower rally and hear him talk. They are awaiting final in^ formation about the time and place of Ike's meeting. < Both County chairman Hughes, aud party worker, Mrs. Elizabeth Little are busy passing out the word concerning the meetings at Farwell and Clare at which Fred M. Alger, candidate for Michigan, governor will speak. Alger In Clare Saturday Algers' motor caravan will travel from Ludington and make scheduled stops at the city park in Far^ well about 5:00 o'clock Saturday, September 27. Alger will speak there. Next stop will be at the city park in Clare where Alger is to deliver an address before dinner at tht Doherty. 'Chairman -Hughes and the hotel desk are taking reservations * for the Alger dinner which is a public affair, and will cost $2.00 per plate. G..C. Born Heads District Nine Chiropractors Dr. G. C.
