DECEMBER 18, 1948 1t has been this columxzist’; con- viction. as cxpresed in this column or. more the. none occasion for small percentage of the Hungarian partridge that are raised in' this Province every year. Thousands upon thousands of partridge eggs are destroyed each season by crows. skunks, hay mowers. floods, fire, by being trampled by feed- ing livestock. etc. Furthermore many thousands more are killed 1n the juvenile stage each year by hawks, owls, crows, foxes. house cats. hunting dogs at large, weas- els, etc. I I I I A few days ago I received a. copy of "Fish dz Game", a new monthly magazine devoted to outdoor life sport in Alberta. I was very much interested in arr article published in this November issue. It bore me heading: "New Approach To Pheasant Problem." On September 21st, 1948. Roy N. Bach, United States federal government co-or- dmator for game and fish in the State of North Dakota, addressed 2.000 sportsmen (and women) in the. western Canada Auditorium in Calgary. He had flown to Calgary that same afternoon in a us. gov- ernment plane especially to ad- dress the meeting. Mr. Bach is z-eccognized ls one of the leading biologists working along funda- mental. practical lines in the Un- ited States. In his address 11c told sportsmen present. about 8 years of exhaustive sceintlfic studies into the mortality of game birds in North Dakota. I I I I He told the meeting that. out of every 100 pheasant eggs laid in the wild in North Dakota, 50% were destroyed before they-were hatch- ed. Out of the 50 eggs hatched 35% of the chicks were destroyed in the juvenile stage and never got through the spring and sum- mer into the shooting season, Of the 26 pheasants that survived till the shooting season, 123i» percent {or one half) lived to propagate in (he spring; 6% percent ‘are ‘led by hunters and the remaining 61.; are described as 10st to winter mortality. o - - The following are a few quota- trcns from his address: “We've been barking up the wrong tree. We've tried to shave.a little off here and a little off there by lim- iting open seasons, cutting down bag limits and so on but —we should be trying to lower ‘egg mortality‘, bringing more and urorc eggs into the juvenile stage. We should be trying to lower ‘juv- cnlle mortality’ bringing more and more birds over into maturity where they can be of some use to 11s We don't eat pheasant eggs and we don't eat. pheasant chicks. We've got to see that more of them live and grow up to be- come food on the hunter's table". . . . . To this scribeb way of thinking we are faced with very much the sayne situation in this province with regard to Hungarian part- ridge excepting that “winter mor- tality" euts n. far deeper swath in our pdrtrlde than the mere 6 1-4 per cent credited to this cause in North Dakota. I I I Ln the egg saving, feature of the situation this columnist estimates we lose in excess of forty thousand Hungarian partridge eggs every summer from hay mowers and thzft of this number approximately 80% could be saved to furnish live chicks by the 1n- troduction of flushing bars. In case you may wonder by what line of reasoning I arrived at. those fig- ures. Well, for years 1 have made a point of asking farmers, cover- ing n11 sections of the province. after the haying season was over a: to how many. if any. Plrtrlqu _ nests of eggs had been destroyed by hay mowers.
