Being an alarmist comes easy, and we don't cherish the idea of playing the role. But from time to time we think it healthful to call attention to the importance of using game anq fish with one good eye on the future .
Unfortunately, the vast majority o.f hunters and fishermen in the South measure success in the outdoors by numbers and pounds. If you will pause long enough' to check results and compare them with results of, say 10 years ago, no further warning is necessary.
It seems to us that most hunters and fishermen are inclined to limit their interest in game and fish to the present, or at most, to the season just ahead. Too few gunners and anglers think about what will be happening 10 years from now. Southern sportsmen still enjoy privileges and advantages
