Reduced Pasture Must Govern Game
Numbers In Future, Say Authorities
Michigan's .eer herd—-along
with that ot <a lot of other states-
is going to grew smaller in years
to come, whether hunters1, the general imbUc and conservation department game men like it or not.
Conservationists (throughout the
North American white-tail range,
point out tha't we haven't much
choice but to accept smaller herds
because food supplies are being
permanently reduced. They are asking effective herd management now
to help the deer get through these
downward "growing pains" in the
best possible manner.
Ralph D. Bird, Manitoba white-
tail authority, recently wrote of
sthis problem: "Favorable food
plants (In northern Manitoba) are,
quickly oYerbrowsed and deer are
foiiced to eat less nutritious food.
Under severe conditions the favored food -plants are. killed by heavy
overbrowsing and wholesale starvation of deer follows. The deer
herd can never increase to its original numbers as the carrying capacity of the pasture has been permanently lowered."
The Wisconisn conservation department's Bull .in magazine for
February also sounds a warning
against letting the state's herd
build up to the size it reached before 1949. when an active program
ot management was started. "Hunting", says the -magazine, "will not
live up to its possibilities if Wisconsin again becomes so obsessed
with 'saving' deer as to let a growing herd largely starve and go to
waste, as in the 1930's and 1940's.
With much of the 'brush' now pole
size or larger, out of reach of deer
the state cannot afford to ruin its
limited deer-food supply a second
time by permitting the herd to outgrow it again". «,
A recent article in Pennsylvania's Game News magazine points
out that the heyday of the big kill
in that state is already past. Dirn-
' inishing populations in Pennsylvania, says the article, are "inevitable, no matter -what we do. Clos-
ii|g the season entirely would only
hasten the process. Shooting the
deer down to rock bottom would
help but little because now it is loo
late. There would be no recovery
because there is no food for recovery".
(Michigan gaime imen (bolster
these statements* .saying diminishing food supplies mean fewer deer
in -the future. They say the big
problems of deer herd management -lie In the future. Last year's
"any deer" season, they say, was
only the start of a long range program designed to bring herd and
range food supplies into closer
balance.
