Book excerpt: Excerpt from Game Bulletin No; 1: 1913 State should add to the present bounty paid by the Fish and Game Commission the sum of making a total of per head for their destruction. Taking all things into consideration, there can be no doubt that the coyote is the worst enemy of the small game of the State. On account of their great numbers, and the difficulty of killing or trapping them, they doubtless do more damage than all other enemies combined; including man and the mountain lion. They prey upon nearly every form of wild life from the smallest Of birds to the larger animals. They are destructive to all birds that nest on the ground or in the brush, and particularly so to all species Of quail. It is probable, also, that they destroy more fawns than all the other animals put together. The coyote is the greatest obstacle to the introduction 1nto the State of ground-nesting birds. It threatens to prevent the successful stock ing of the adaptable areas with wild turkeys, pheasants, and other game birds. Bobcats also destroy a good many quail, fawns, and other game throughout the year; and in many places foxes are reported as being even more destructive to quail than the bobcats. Bear destroy deer very rarely, if at all. However, there is a point in this connection which should be mentioned here. Many cases are reported where bear hunters go into the mountains during the closed season for deer, for the avowed purpose of hunting bear, but who in reality go for venison. Others who do go for bear, kill deer to feed themselves and their dogs while out on the hunt. In consequence, many of the deputies of the Fish and Game Commission recommend as a protection to the deer, a closed season on bear, corresponding to that on deer. It is to be expected that a proposition to protect bear would meet with disfavor in some portions of the State where these animals at times destroy hogs, sheep, and goats; however, from the standpoint of the fur industry alone, bear should be protected; but the period for an open season, when the fur and the flesh of the bear are in the best condition - from November to February - would not conform to the Open season on deer.
