Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Conservation Through Education
The courts have held that wild game is the property of the people, and can be hunted, killed, possessed and disposed of only as the people direct. It is believed that this State has some of the most effective and most just laws for the purpose of protecting wild game ever enacted by a commonwealth. These laws seem to insure the perpetuation of the supply. But these laws would not serve their full purpose if they did not guarantee our people and posterity the opportunity of recreation, hunting and fishing.
The Fish and Game Commission and the Legislature of the State, ever mindful of the fact that the boy and the young man are full of the instinct for sport, have wisely framed the laws in such manner as to save to the people their inherent right to hunting. The boy that lives a natural, outdoor life, hunting, fishing and playing strenuous games is not the chap who loafs around comers shooting craps and smoking cigarettes. Furthermore, the boy who learns how to care for him self in the woods and to shoot straight makes the finest soldier in the world in the time of national peril.
