I have it on good authority that
StMte
Game Commission has made the
statement that the plague in our deer
herds (perhaps I shouldn't say herds,
for that applies to elk)—but neverthe­
less, Captain McClees has stated that
the scours and other diseases that
affect deer would not be apparent If
the predatory animals such as cougar
were not being eliminated from the
picture.
As we understand it. Captain Mc-
Ciees states that predators prey upon
the weaker animals of any species
and in doing so, they elilmnate the
bearers of disease that is wont to
spread through the herds.
For instance, if one deer should
have the scours, or some disease that
weakens it, a cougar would take such
an animal, owing to the fact that it
was easy prey.
Such an animal
would also fall prey to" a bobcat or
coyote. And so, therefore, if such
animals were killed by predators it
would eliminate the disease being
contacted by the deer and elk at
large.
If such infected animal« as those
suffering from scours and other dis­
eases were allowed to treed the for­
est trails, they would Infect thousands
of their species and in many districts
during the past several years there
has been many a plague amongst the
deer.
,
We have heard many people snicker
at Capt. McClees statement but we
are convinced that Charley McClees
Is right.
Captain Chas. McClees is one mem­
ber of the State Game Commission
who really “knows his onions.” He
is a woodsman, a student of Nature,
a man as well versed as any man
in the country regarding wild-life
and, to us, it Is indeed a pity that the
entire game commission should not
consist of such men as he.
When Captain McClees makes a
statement, such as the one that I
attributed to him. It is well that aU
sportsmen take notice, for you may
rest assured that It is not a statement
gone off half cocked, but one of
thoughtful study and one based upon
actual experience.
We agree with Chas. McClees con­
cerning his statement, for it is, in­
deed, sound reasoning.
Let us go back many years, tifty
years ago there was no apparent dis­
ease in the ranks of our deer. They
were healthy and in fine condition.
Then there came the sheepmen Into
the pictun those who clamored for
the blood of every predator from a
weasel to a cougar. Government and
state hunters took up the battle
against coyotes, cougars, wolves, etc.,
and the result was that the ranks
of predatory animals were cut down
to a small figure. The ranks of the
deer increased and disease spread
amongst them. There. were not
enough predators to take care of the
| weak and sick animals and the disease
spread. So, I am informed, stated
Chas. McClees—and frankly we be­
lieve Capt. McClees is right.
It is not our habit to sponsor acts
by the State Game Commission, for
they have proven to our entire satis­
faction, that as a whole they seldom
know what the score actually is. But,
nevertheless, we are backing such
veterans of the service as Captain
McClees and are confident that he
is right in*his alleged statement.
‘ Give us more cougar and less deer
—that’s something to think about.
