The states manage the wildlife and set seasons and bag limits while the National For ests provide the food, cover, and living space. In noting the observance of Wildlife Week. March 17-23, Re gional Forester Charles A. Con naughton said the cooperative effort has paid off handsomely In that harvest of deer and elk is one of the highest In the na tion. Oregon has been at or near the top In deer harvest for many years. Washington, with less land area, has not been far be hind. This bountiful harvest of big game has not occurred by ac cident, Connaughton reminded, Control of hunting through un it-area management, jud 1c 1 o u s timing of seasons and limits, either-sex hunting, Increased law enforcement, browse im provement through timber man agement, Improved systems of livestock grazing, and wildlife habitat improvement projects all have been instrumental. The Forest Service worked with other federal, state, and private land managers in 143 fish and game habitat improve ment projects in' 1967. Fisherman use was extremely heavy on four fishing lakes con structed cooperatively with the Oregon Game Commission: Tril lium Lake, Mt.
