Book excerpt: Excerpt from Game as a National Resource The region north of a line drawn along latitude 42 and Mason and Dixon' s line includes 19 States, 16 of which had deer hunting in 1920 (the exceptions being Connecticut, Rhode Island, and North Dakota). Of. The 29 States south of this line, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, and 9 States in the corn belt had no deer hunting and Missouri had very little. Omitting from consideration the States in which hunting is practically closed (leaving 16 States with open seasons in the northern tier and 17 in the southern tier), the possible deer crop is more than twice as great in the northern tier as in the southern, the States north of the line having unde1 normal conditions a possible kill of 60 whereas those to the south have less than 25 000. The only States to the south where the number is likely to exceed are California and Texas, whereas at least 4 States to the North may exceed this limit, while in. 4 of the New England States - Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massa chusetts, where one deer, on the average', is obtained on each 5 square miles 'of territory - the kill might total a number equal to the present possible crop of all the States'to the south except Texas. If the deer crop can be increased to head. A year, the quan tity Cf meat would be increased to pounds, which at 20 cents a pound would be worth To attain this total it will benecessary to increase the present number of deer killed each year 25 'per cent. No permanent increase can be expected during the next few years in the number killed in 6 of the principal States; Maine, California, New York, 'wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan. In fact, figures of the last few years are likely to Show a decrease. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
